as a bloody topic its getting on my nerves, no matter how much you correct people, they still spurt out the same crap - at least on some of the more right wing boards they come up with some arguments like forced laboour which provide me with great humour :razz:

are you fed up of hearing about it ...yup.
So why post abother topic on it? I'd say the majority of new topics on this board on immigration are by people saying on are complaining that the right focus on it too much before then focusing on it themselves.
I'm fed up because left wing idiots like you continue to bring it up. Thanks.
On another note: immigration is out of control.
Empty buckets make the most noise, or whatever you say in English (know the proverb in Danish and Hebrew if it's any help).
Either way, I do feel that immigration is an issue which is essential when discussing the development of our countries. You can't exactly ignore it, whatever stance you have on the issue.
Immigration is out of control, yet we let the least in out of the whole of Europe. Is the rest of Europe out of control?
Anyhow on immigration, I have no idea whether the UK takes the least in Europe, but I do know cerca 1999, which is a while back France was taking on double the amount of newcomers compared to GB. Comparatively France has a very similar population to UK, but twice the land mass. So on paper everything looks hunky-dory...but how much housing is available/crampdness of cities, how many placed in rural areas (France has many more living rurally than UK) all this has to be cogitated, weighed up and all the rest and demographics looked at carefully.

Also we may have an increase in the number of people entering the country as migrants we have an increase in the number of British people emigrating aboard.

it really is true..you haven't been educated past the age of 14...i pity you
True... but, ffs, Imigration is needed to keep any form of British Economy going.
And if your so fed up, why the hell make this damned topic?
I must say that those that support immigration, as I do, do themselves no favours by making wild exxagerations such as this, and others such as 'British people won't do these jobs".
It gives easy ammo for those who oppose immigration...........

'The calculations, using Treasury data and the Labour Force Survey by the Institute for Public Policy Research, show that although the migrant workforce makes up 8.7% of the population, it contributes 10.2% of all the income tax collected.'
'Migrants also earn about 15% more a week on average than their British-born counterparts, reflecting not only that many migrants are in highly skilled, high paid jobs but that even those in low skill, low wage jobs, work long hours and pay not insignificant amounts of tax. A migrant is defined as someone born outside the UK but resident here.'
It would be useful to have a source for that.
The questions asked are probably key to understanding the responses......
According to a BBC online poll, 53% of whites thought Britain was a racist society, whilst only 41% of Asians thought so (as opposed to 45% who didn't).
And yet:
So - apparently the majority of Asian respondents, in a poll where 66% of whites expressed a racist view, said that Britain wasn't a racist society.

new EU report on population
open the gates!
actually, considering how rampant socialism is in Europe i dont see why its considered a problem. Just raise taxes, i mean everyones happy to pay for neccessary public services right? Maybe they are more selfish than they think...
*yawn*
How does an abstract concept know things?
How does an abstarct concept make you part of it?
How does an abstract concept find you guilty?

Because unlike John Howard we're not a bunch of right wing bigoted arseholes.
I trust you will volunteer to be tested for HIV, TB and other diseases, and to be locked up in a detention centre until the Australian authorities decide whether you're really a worthy immigrant or someone coming to scrounge their generous welfare system and blah blah...
Any more abstract than the idea of government?
I really wish the UK would not let in any immigrants or asylum seekers, especially the ones your Eastern Europe. Nothing but trouble.
