    Sorry properly should have added false asylum seeker to my list. You do need to be more specific. If you say we should more tougher on illegal immigration and false asylum seekers than yeah I'll agree with you all the way, but try and take away the rights of true asylum seekers as this country has a proud tradition of protecting and I'll fight you all the way.

    Just don't generalise that what I find offensive.

  • Also what about the true Asylum seekers? what do we do about them? Do we not do something good natured and help them?

    No. Our country can't afford it.

    At least the Government are stopping some of these "student" visas. I've lost count of how many "students" I've seen this year, some of whom have been attending a language school for over four years, yet they still cannot speak a word of English. One that I saw today is having her third baby! (Wonder how she finds the time for all that studying??? :mad:)

    Will people stop using asylum seeker rather than illegal immigrants there is a significant difference.

    It makes you look like a ignorant Bigot.

    I don't think there is such a thing as an illegal immigrant. You are either an immigrant or you are illegal.

    Either way I think we are having the p**s taken out of us.

    If it isn't the poles it's the blooming romanians. Just fed up of things being given to people who haven't, and probably never will, contribute.

    Example: I quite often drop my grandson off at nursery. Not one, and I mean not one single one out of 18, of the other parents is british. Either polish or Filipino. And bearing in mind that the Filipinos send most of their wages back to their relatives, and then keep pumping out babies..sheesh!! And many of the Filipinos who work at our local hospital are only here because they want to work in the US. And even though the Philippines is very much an American run and influenced country, the US will not let them go from the Philippines to the US. So they come here for a couple of years and then apply for the US.
  • Oh dear, I therefore have a problem.
    If asylum seekers leave then how will I manage to charge the councils a large amount of money for the properties that I rent to them? I purposefully voted conservative to ensure that my the financial situation would esculate my assets..

    I agreed with the recent Lord who said "Recession? Weve never had it so good" until this talk of asylum matters and immigration.

    Landlords will lose out if benefits is means tested and asylum seekers are returned. Thus landlords MAY have to sell a couple of properties over the coming years if we are not given a leg up by our Bullingdon chums.

    I can't understand why the student thing has gone unchecked for so long. Fair enough if people are coming from abroad to study at recognised universities, but many of these students are here on visas to attend 'language colleges' and then promply disappear into the black economy. My own view is that many of these colleges are fraudulent and are set simply to facilitate illegal entry into the UK.

    How am I a bigot? You are the one using offensive descriptions. I never used those terms. Think that makes me a better person than you. I am not perfect but you are still a !!!!!!.

    In fact I have lots of friends who come into the groups you so offensively describe. Although because they are friends I forget about where their origins are.

    It just describes the attitude that people like you have. You just post on here to try and wind people up. You don't have original ideas of your own. And you have very poor reading skills.

    I don't know where you get your so called 1% from, and I won't even waste my time looking. But given that around the corner from me there are at least five Polish shops. (And I mean shops where everything about it is written in Polish) And as you conveniently ignored(wonder why? Oh of course it doesn't fit in with your argument) that 17 out of the 18 kids in my grandsons class are either Polish or Filipino, then I have every right to think we are being taken over.

    Its called satire you idiot. Im not the one moaning about foreigners over here - YOU ARE.

    Brilliant so your grandson is growing up with other cultures - Just like i did too - I learnt a hell of a lot from the Indians and west Indians who i went to school with . In fact i learnt a thing called tolerance. Something it appears you are sorely lacking.

    5 Polish shops eh? Wow, i hope you have gone in there and tried their great meats and other foods and their beers too because im a regular in mine.

    Now toddle off back down your local pub and whinge to the other Neanderthals who want all the foreigners to go home..

  • Oh Shammyjack,
    what a naughty woman you are! The world has moved on from the late 30's and 40's. Mr Churchill helped overcome the issues, you,
    along with some other posters, have raised. Perhaps if there were a time machine you could toodle back and wear a shiny new black uniform and guard a concentration camp.
