The immigration cure!?

VidaUK

I voted, and I am also actively involved in my community due to all the problems (I didn't feel I had a choice not be involved as the place was fast becoming like a ghetto and the council and Police just let if roll on if you don't get together as a community and tackle the issues).

I would not vote for BNP (and I know little about UKIP so can't comment, but the little I've heard and seen was not good) and I think it is important to say that when indigenous peoples raise issues about immigrant communities it does not automatically make them racist or a BNP supporter - most are not. It is more the case that there are REAL problems out there that need to be addressed and that have not been by any of the public bodies that are supposed to support cohesion, the law and society.

I personally do not think BNP would address the problems in my area (they seem to have an agenda of their own and I don't like it) - however I do see why some people vote for them - it's the frustration with their communities and also that there is not enough political choice between the right and left wing of politics.

So what we need is a viable alternative party to vote for - one that is not extreme - but one which deals with crime and the problems in communities - one that is not scared to speak the truth and be firm and fair to EVERYONE.

old know all

I've got a better idea. Let the people who support the policies of BNP and UKIP stand up and be counted. Then we can deport them all to some part of the Southern USA where they'll feel at home with their fellow rednecks and we can get along without their poisonous racism.

I find it funny that a couple of the UKIP people employ immigrant: hypocrits! What makes you think they'll be any better than any other politician, unless you see racism as a good thing...

aside from the fact that this is not a question, it staggers me that the sort of rubbish you're promulgating still manages to surface. i know i'm not going to convince you, but i do want to point out the facts that the BNP and UKIP et.al. are not telling you. just so you know, and when the day comes when it's all too obvious to avoid, you won't be able to say, 'i didn't know...'

let's look at welfare shall we? 2 million people, that 2,000,000, (about the population of manchester), claim some form of disability benefit in this country. that's 2 million British people (you have to be British or you don't qualify). i have the greatest sympathy for any person whom this state, with all its resources, is able to protect and care for. but you cannot tell me that there are 2 million. some people out there are having a laugh. that's not including, by the way, the 1 million (again, allow me, that's 1,000,000; think Leeds and Bradford) who claim unemployment benefit. this, apparently, is because they cannot find work.

now, let me think for a moment....... was it 400,000 - 600,000 eastern europeans who came to britain in 2006? all desperate for work, and, surprise surprise, working, picking your lettuces etc. - you do eat vegetables don't you? oh, and of course the professionals; the doctors, consultants, nurses etc, without whom the NHS would collapse? then there's the taxi drivers, those plumbers everyone talks about, builders who don't rip you off, waiters, cleaners... shall i go on?

how many times does it have to be said? immigrants come here to work. they do work. and, often as not, they go home afterwards. they do not get cars and houses on benefit. most british citizens can't do that, although it would seem that a fair proportion are trying as hard as they can.... i'd bloody well sign on tomorrow if i could.

the problem with this country is not the millions of hard-working immigrants who just want a better life, and who, incidently, make your life better. it's the millions of lazy, feckless, white people who assume that this country owes them a living, just because they're born here - only the first of many decisions they didn't make for themselves - and whose only response to their woeful lack of education and effort is to blame some one else.

one final thing, just to be clear. i'm white, about as british as it's possible to be. brought up in the 70s when we had nothing and this country was worth nothing. i got off my backside and worked. i will always have more respect, and time, for anyone - regardless of where they come from or the colour of their skin - who does the same. you are beng fed lies. and like a little child you repeat those lies as truth. grow up please.

What like the wars they tried to start in Glasgow because of a race related murder??

I'm definetly not a happy clapping hippy but you need to be short of a chromosome or two to consider voting for these scumbags. Nothing they do would ever make me proud to be British.

Yes it does make me sick that people can sit on their arses on the dole etc but thats the same as the ******* junkies in this country - when have they ever contributed.

I was in a refuge after leaving a v. violent partner and when I got rehoused I was put in a grotty flat where the windows didnt work, the place was riddled with damp, I wasnt working as a suffered really bad panic attacks after what I had been through and the social wouldnt help me furnish my flat but told me if my ex had been jailed for what he did they would have helped him when he got out as he would have 'had an unsettled way of life'.

I went to college and learnt to live with the panic attacks and now I pay full rent on a private let flat.

I dont mind paying for someone to get on their feet after being through crap in their own country, but I do resent supporting any kinds of criminal british or otherwise.

So if there is a party that I can vote for that will do something about junkies, wife beaters, child abusers etc please let me know because I would vote for them.

Canada needs immigrant. 300 thousand per year, each one needs to spend 20 thousand per year to make the basic needs. So, immigrants inject in Canada at least 6 billion dollars per year.

cowboydoc

Your right about that and, It's the same for the U.S. either turn out to vote and, change the laws or shut up!

When a pub sells bad beer it is the brewery not the landlord.
You just want to change the glasses.

bringmesunshine is back!!!

Because I don't believe in the policies of UKIP or the BNP. I don't whinge about immigration. If it wasn't for immigration, none of us would be here today.

What a liar!

One of the groups of people who never do any effort to try to assimilate is the English. They have their separate "pubs", their own newspapers and speak English in other countries.

Not to mention how rowdy they can get with the locals when something like a soccer game between an English team and a local team happens.

Not Ecky Boy

Yes I know who I will be voting for, all right.

Simple answer to your question and that is don't vote for Labour or Conservative and just see what the other party who gets in does for the country (UK)

phillip b

i voted for them last time will vote for them again next time. a lot of ppl said they where going to but never followed it up

Nicola L

Because, despite having concerns about the UK's immigration policies, I am not a racist and wouldn't vote BNP in a million years.

How many people on here that state the BNP is rascist have actually visited the BNP website and read their manifesto?, because believe it or not its not rascist at all. Stop listening to the Labour spin and open your eyes, do your own research.

spannerbox

I all ready do, lets hope others follow !!

oh_hell_imagine_that

why don't the british people also go back to their country????..........OH_hell

anitaS

Oh, and who's going to do all the "mucky" jobs that immigrant workers so happily do in the UK for such small money, hey?

It's not all bad! Besides loads of english people go working abroad, too, have you thought of that? ;-)

gary p
