I was really annoid that they didn't debate all the issues regarding immigration. They kept talking about illegal immigrants but there is also a massive issue regarding people coming in from the EU. There are thousands and thousands of them. This is really affecting our country. I understand that BNP can't be highlighted but what about UKIP? They should also have been included.

Agreed with your first point, although I don't share your political conclusions. Certainlt I thought the whole discussion on immigration was a waste of time, due the massive great elephant in the room. There was endless discussion of quotas etc for people from outside the EU - but we all know that's not where most immigrants currently come from oe have come from over the last few years. They can't do anything about the EU ones so try to pretend it's not happening.

i agree, it's outrageous that UKIP weren't involved, what with their 0 seats in the house of commons, i thought they'd be a shoe-in.

They should have another debate for the minor parties. Nick Griffin of BNP v Caroline Lucas of the Green Party - a good laugh if nothing else!

He deserved a good crack of the whip and he did well. Otherwise it's a 2 horse race as always very predictable as always.
Still UKIP for me though, immigration needs sorting as do all the gyp0s coming in from the EU .

Immigration is out of control and the main 3 will not take the bull by the horns, they are pu55y footing around at it. We need straight talkers who will get on top of it. Also we can get out of Europe and send all the gyp0s back,

Immigration is the most misunderstood issue by politicians IMO - most of them seem to have no idea how it's affecting ordinary people and communities, and from our culture of political correctness, people that want less immigration are unfairly labelled as racist.

Well, I was convinced.... but in the cold light of day I now feel a bit stupid...

...story of my life- fall first, cringe later...

...anyway, did any of them really answer my questions? Really be CLEAR about whats happening with what?
I know its only 1 and a half hours though, maybe I'm being a bit hasty in my shame for being a PR b!tch... ? We shall see what the next few weeks bring:cool:

And we all know they will live 12 to a house send the bulk of their money back home and spend the least amount here so as not to put much back in to our economy and at the same time milk the NHS for all they can, the money will p1ss out as it has for years with the Eastern Euros. Many went home when they had milked it for all they could, when the recession is over they will be back with the begging bowl.
One of the reasons I would not vote for any of the jokers on tv last night. :mad:

My OH thought it was enthralling? And thinks I'm uncharitable to suggest that next time they give them open suitcases at their feet - instead of podiums.

Then at least they'll look like 3 x Del Boy's trying to scam the customers - rather than just sound like them. I've never heard as many empty promises in 90 minutes.
