But, yep, we can't go on importing a population the size of Greater Manchester every year to our tiny crowded island and expect everything to be tickedy-boo. Why it is no-one but him can take this seriously is gobsmacking & a complete mystery to me. Cameron will be nibbling round the edges but he won't sort it either. About half of last year's intake came from outside the EU and he couldn't even control that.

Re: Welcome back Nigel Farage
Well that's the reason I respect Farage - he states the truth of it whether some agree or not, he ploughs on and he certainly made an 'impact' on Cameron and MillibandAs for resigning - its no big deal is it, I'm sure he felt he'd had enough, how he coped those months I don't know but must have been exhausted at the end of it - the end for me would be getting so many votes that count for nothing .......

Seriously though, I'm with you Jodie, with all the best will in the world, we can't go on accepting so many migrants every year. I love Britain's rich tapestry of different races that make Britain what it is today, but for every three hundred thousand decent immigrants who want to set up home and start a family life here [and there's nothing wrong with that] there will be on average, one hundred and fifty thousand children born to them. So the population increase is not just those entering the country. How many times does Nigel Farage have to point this out before other parties realise the implications of their actions.

But can anyone get their heads round why no one apart from Farage has given a t%ss about this? I can see why Blair wanted it - loads of immigrants will then go on to vote Labour - but can't understand why Cameron didn't do better - was he seriously held back by the LibDems? Or did business want droves of cheap labour & give him a hard time on that front?
Well thanks to Farage at least we are able to talk about this now, we definitely could not even 5 years ago. I worked at the CAB and the girls in the office would discuss immigration only to their trusted colleagues and in whispers, then shut up the second a manager walked in the room. It was like living in Mao's China, with denunciations just a careless word away.
