I believe that the statement made by MM de Melo is badly fashioned. I have always sung praises to the Gulf Goans who have saved bharat in time of crises, the East African Goans who have kept our flag high even while in England. Now those disordeiros and bebdos should go back to Goa. This is also the opinion of our East African Goans I met during the month of February. Disordeiros and bebdos will destroy the marketability of Goans who seek better lives because of a failed regime in Goa. In my opinion there should be Goan organizations which should appraise the new arrivals of the culture practiced in the UK and ways for development etc. BC
In short: 1: I agree with Dr. Gilbert Lawrence's viewpoint on this matter 2: Not very sure what else Bernado Colaco wrote on this matter BUT if he cautioned Portuguese-Goans about the UK, he is right. One has to be mentally and educationally (training) prepared for the challenge. 3: The Gujarati Minister in the UK is a UK born Brit. Her parents were not illegal migrants to the UK. They were descendants of Indians who had served the British crown in the running of British Africa. Most had UK nationality ab inicio or were granted UK nationality after Idi Amin stripped them of their passports and made them 'stateless'. Upon arrival from the UK, they invested in the UK. She cannot be placed in the same basket as the millions of EU folks (esp from Eastern Europe) who fly in for the weekend and rip the system financially. These ripoff artists cannot also be compared to the Portuguese Goans who are struggling hard in the UK; the odd disordeiro and bebdo having been noted. jc Enviado do meu iPad > On May 2, 2016, at 11:44 AM, MD <[email protected]> wrote: > > GL, (guess who is calling the pot black!!): > > BC (an immigrant himself?) is not the only one discouraging Goans > immigrating to UK. > > See below: Meet the Minister born to a (a Gujarati) immigrant newsagent, > who says Britain MUST regain control of its borders
