Heard it said to Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis & British Asians you should be thankful the British built the railway.

"If you don't like it you should leave". No. I'm going nowhere; I'm British and I was born here. Neither are my parents. They are here because you were there. They paid their dues to this country. So don't @ me with your racist nonsense.
