Immigrants

Why is everyone making such a fuss over EU immigrants?They seem to feel that once we leave the EU immigration will stop,it wont. There are more None EU immigrants here [there is hardly an office/shop Drs/Hospitals in this area that arent manned by Asians/Indian/Pakistani etc] than EUs. If we trade with India/China their citizens will be allowed to come to Britain.Many of the EUmembers here do work British people dont want & wont do

Re: Immigrants

I met a woman this morning at a car boot sale who told me she is facing deportation because she is not considered to have made a good case to be allowed to stay. She earns a living working at markets, ebay etc.I guess she pays no tax.

I hope the uk is ready to receive her. And I wonder if this is just the start ot the tit for tat tactics.

Re: Immigrants

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

It is quite simple. We admit those who will be an asset to the country and we refuse admission to those who won't.

Regardless of where they are from.

I keep on banging in about this but it is important that people realise the extent of the problem. No sensible comparisons can be made between immigration into the UK in the past, and the level we are seeing today. The rate of immigration into the UK today is so far in excess of anything we have seen before that it almost beggars belief. In previous centuries, the percentage of immigrants entering the UK was statistically insignificant. Even in the 1960's/70's, compared with today, the numbers were paltry. At the rate of immigration we had at the time of Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech in 1972, it would have taken 100 years for 1,000,000 immigrants to enter our country. At today's rate, it takes just two years.

This level of immigration is unsustainable, drives down wages and puts incredible pressure on our infrastructure - housing, health, education, social services etc etc.

Re: Immigrants

Here in flat land and in other parts of the country we are seeing problems regarding labour to pick fruit and veg.

Just thought I would mention it.

Hi

I totally agree Ruthio.

I think that you are spot on.

I live on my own.

I have two Polish Business registered at my house.

Zac and Derek have just paid UK Tax, a total of £25,870 plus NI Contributions.

They are very rarely here at my house.

When they are here, so are the family, Grandad, Grandma etc etc.

Grandma and Grandad have never met a Muslim before.

Not ever, you do not get Muslims at Catholic Mass at 7 in the morning.

They were terrified to meet a couple of Muslims, in a headscarf, in a lift from the Car Park in Birmingham to the outdoor market.

The Muslims had kids, real littlies, the Polish where not killed, the littlies smiled at them.

A meeting of minds, Littlies are the same the world over, they neither hate or despise anyone.

The Polish were scared., but not for long.

Tis like the AA Advert, you cannot hate anyone who smiles at you.
