This doesn't really strike me as political correctness... it's too
stupid to qualify. I'm wondering if she thinks the prisoners don't
know they're in England...

I have spent a total of 2.5 hours in England, most of it standing in line
for a security checkpoint or running to catch a connecting flight. It still
looks OK from the air though. What you are seeing, is a sort of reverse
colonization effect. It is not nice, to invade a country, which is three or
four times as old as your own, enslave everyone, and force your culture on
them. One could call what is happening in your country now "bringing it
back home". I am sure that there are places in this world, where the
natives feel the way you do, but about English-speaking immigrants or
visitors.

Hmmm Great news. I was thinking on visiting the States but my english is
soooo bad that I took the desicion of not going. But your note helps me to
decide where in the States to go.

Funny thing is that nowadays if you know english and spanish you can travel
all around the world. Some years ago you could travel only with english but
the times are changing. Is like the dollar. Few years ago every single time
I traveled outside Europe I carried US Dollars that are accepted all around
the world. Now I travel only with UE Euros... That is something for you to
worry about... not the ------ of "hispanos" population.
