I think you'll find it's a little bit more complicated than that. The ottoman empire was a major super power across europe, they had to get something of it, what could we do??!
Britain is far from antislavic, nor is the western world. We have already formed ties with some slavic countries.
The reason Poles are allowed to work here is because we have made an aliance with them. How is letting in millions of Bulgarians going to benefit the English economy? the gap has already been filled by the Poles.
Maybe the Bulgarians should go to the Spanish, although from what I hear the Spanish priminister is already in talks with Poland about a relationship similar to what Poland and the UK have. :-D
If you're so pro slavic yourself then shouldn't you call yourself a slav and not a bulgar?
First of all, Britain SUPPORTED the sadistic tortute of million Slavs in Ottoman Turkey, including the burning of 5000 women and children alive in the Batak church. Then, after finally our Russian brothers helped us free from Islamic torture, Britain took 3/4 of OUR territory at the Berlin Congress threw it back to the just DEFEATED Turkey! We fought war after war to retrieve out lands and lost most of out population.That's a historical fact, you have caused the terror and suffering of millions of innocent people(esp Slavs) around the globe. British Museum is made of of plundered artifacts from everywhere you set foot.
Second, you ask me why Bulgar and not Slav. For your information, Bulgarians belong to the southern Slavic branch.
As for emigrating to Britain, Bulgarians prefer US and Canada, not xenophobic Britain. You didn't even bother to help the Poles, when Germany attacked them, despite the prewar agreement signed with Poland and France... If Germany hadn't attacked you, you would move a finger.
