Too many immigrants, not enough jobs or houses.

    Ok, so as I understand it, based on your repsonse to the OP, any discussion about immigration is a racist discussion?

    Sadly, that does seem to be the way with many, and as a country that attitude has caused many problems not to be looked at.

    Thats a massive human rights issue! World population does seem to be getting a bit out of hand, heard an american guy on the news the other day saying something along the lines of if the population got to 9 billion we'd have to almost double food production, sorry cant remember exact figures but it was overwhelming how much food would be consumed in an already under supplied necessicity (sp)

    And the uk population increase is nothing compared to the global one unfortunately birth seems rife in poverty stricken areas and as much as we'd like tothink, were not that poor!

    I don't think there's so much doubling of food production as reducing food wastage

    It really irritates me when people throw food away, when meat eaters don't eat the whole animal.

    clearly your one of the 7 in 10, go read your daily mail and keep your racist campaigns to your KKK meeting or the Annual EDL conference. And you should also stop trying to blame everyone else for whatever poor predicement your in!

    Get real Trotsky. The immigrants kids will not do the crap jobs that there parents were brought here to do.
    Trouble is there is nothing else for them. Especially as most are as abysmally educated as the poor British kids.
    Paris has been seething with disaffected second generation immigrants for years. The French have learned to live with the frequent riots. I expect we will have to do the same.

    Name a major Western city of comparable size to London that doesn't have a significant population of immigrants.

    And one that doesnt suffer problems because of it?

    He is just speaking common sense, nothing wrong with that

    Good grief. I would prob rejoin the labour party {Was a member in my idealistic youth} if this guy was in power.
    Could you but imagine a party that actually reflected how us plebs
    actually felt about things. Aint gonna happen though isit?

    I assume our immigration agenda have to change many important processes. I´m still waiting that Cameron will say relevant reservation to the immigration politics.
