I dont think anyone has blamed migrants sad? I think we all know its down to the government not having the foresight to see what was going to happen and then not having the guts to change things.

Mostly true but MANY of the immigrants do cause a lot of problems also in terms of crime, social cohseion and drains on services.

The illegal immigramnts and asylum seekers also cause other problems thay they CAN help.

I tried to get into work but the entire railway line was suspended. No amount of forward planning could have got me in today.

Your forward planning was to wait until this morning and then see if the railway line was still working?:rolleyes:

We can now officially cease the debate on migrants / immigrants / strikes / british workers / foreign workers.

The reason? 6 inches of snow. All other media stories go out the window when Britain gets 6 inches of snow. In fact, I think they've put the global economic crisis on hold for the week. Good time to get yourself some credit and treat yourself to a bit of laminate and a plasma. Go on, you deserve it.

Sorry to go PC on this but there is a big difference between migrant workers, illegal immigrants and asylum seekers. Their entitlements are all different as is the legislation and also the contributions they make to society.

Unfortunately these groups of people often get 'lumped' under one heading that isn't actually fair or indeed correct.

No mewbie, she was an old lady who was robbed in her own home who is now scared for life from her nose and down her chin. You can watch it on iplayer and see if you still think it is worth making a cheap remark over.
