To Everyone
As before someone has been falsely using my name here. The previous two posts did NOT come from me. My last original post was the long one where I quoted Jack. This is my second message for today. As my friends from this forum will know, I DO NOT humiliate nor speak in a rash and ill mannered manner and am respectful towards those who I address.

Besides that, whoever used my name didn't do a good job of speaking proper English. I use whole complete sentences and am known by my friends here for speaking good English. Unfortunately, to the impersonator's dismay, I can't be masqueraded nor impersonated.

Richa Gomes, my plan is to live away from the city of Dublin, which is where you're more likely to find a job. I don't want to live in Dublin because the cost of living is high. So you could try living in Dundalk or Drogheda or Wexford. You could also try getting jobs in Cork, or Gallway, or Waterford, if you'd prefer to not go to the city. There is public transportation available in Ireland.

Com os melhores cumprimentas,
Ezekiel

Post cases / Manuel Ferns
Can some one inform me on the status of post cases? I submitted mine in September twenty twenty.

Manuel Ferns, I beg you not to fall into the trap of the despicable people who call them selves Goans. Definitely not from our culture.

Best regards - Mel

Reposting sensible posts
All the redundant posts here caused me to miss Jack's good message concerning the status of Goans in the UK. I thought I'd add my two cents to the conversation.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Jack. This is not just in the UK mind you. I have a friend in Canada (he's a Canadian not Goan), he told me that the Indians are also amongst those who chose to not assimilate and integrate with the natural Canadian folk. He mentioned about killings occurring amongst the Indian Sikhs, but that's immaterial. The point is that it's true, I reckon that most Indians prefer to not integrate. It is true that there are Goans who don't have good education backgrounds who move to the UK. One of my neighbour's who migrated to the UK couldn't even speak good English with me.

But I have to add that, I have relatives in England who migrated in the nineties or before, and are now British citizens. They have two children. They are all doing well. I have relatives (five of them) living in Scotland right now, it was a whole family. The father works for the NHS, he's an Indian citizen who's living as a dependent on his wife, who's a Portuguese citizen (also from Goa). The wife is doing her master's degree there, and the children are little. They migrated originally to Southampton England in twenty sixteen. Yes they do struggle I'll admit it, but they integrate with the Scottish.

I have distant relatives living in Portugal right now, and when they came down to Goa years ago (before I even knew that I could become Portuguese) for a short while, very easily demonstrated their Portuguese culture to us, which indicated that they assimilated with the Portuguese folk for years on in.

Indeed these isolated communities need to be disbanded. I also agree that it is due to a lack of essential skills that Goans can suffer, not just in the UK, but also in Europe or any first world country. It certainly is my intention to integrate with the Irish once I move to Ireland, without any question. I'd also encourage all my fellow Goans who are endeavouring to move to Europe to ensure that you (or your relative or on whom you are going to be dependent on), are well qualified and ready to integrate with the white community. Just because they are of a different skin colour or culture doesn't mean they are to be treated as outcasts.

I'll just repost Jack's message so as to bring it back to the front, "Manuel - While it’s true that many Goans are living a bad life over here that’s not the case with everyone. My uncle, who came here in the nineties and my cousins, are all doing quite well for themselves. He did not come here on a Portuguese passport though. The issue with many Goans not having a good life is largely down to a lack of education and other skills. If you’re unskilled, then you’re likely to struggle in any European country.

It’s also down to the formation of immigrant dominated communities, such as those in Swindon, Hounslow, Leicester and Birmingham. These communities need to be disbanded. It hinders people from interacting with the White English at large and keeps them down.

White American, Australian or German immigrants to the UK don’t form separate communities but integrate with the English. The formation of immigrant communities further hinders the integration with the natives to a point where many immigrants have no real idea how the UK works."

Com os melhores cumprimentas,
Ezekiel

Shameless
The crook was shown his place, yet he is so frustrated that he keeps changing names but the fool doesn't understand that his IP address stays the same.
