	Although I wholeheartedly agree that we need to sort out immigration, I really don't think that this is the way to do it - this will not do this country's image any good abroad and could put genuine visitors off coming here - what do you think ? Please note this thread is about the image we portray of this country to the rest of the world - it is not about immigration. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2341776/Coming-Britain-You-conned-homeless-set-Warning-Polish-migrants-official-UK-video.html A video warning Poles of the dangers of coming to Britain has been issued with the backing of the Government. Migrants who are unprepared could be ripped off, made homeless and even set on fire by thugs, it says. The three-minute film funded by Whitehall warns of the consequences of illegal working, sleeping rough and street violence.
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
