Join UKIP?

You should be their spokesman with contradictions like this in the same thread.

The entertainment value of your posts are outstanding. Haven't laughed so much at a thread in ages.

Hopefully, when the masses wake up from this slumber they'll realise that they live in one of the world's richest countries where the inhabitants enjoy a standard of living that is the stuff of dreams for most people. It's not by accident.

Opposition parties need to be strong and they need to oppose. Government policy must be justified by having to argue against politcians having the exact opposite view. Better quality politicians would be nice but the basic system seems sound.

The corruption will continue no matter who gets in.

I think we need to start again.

No, I am NOT against immigration, it is just the UK is full right now.

I fully understand that Britain is a mongrel nation and love that thought, even the Anglo Saxons and Celts that so many far right wingers adore are not even from these shores.

If you want to stereotype every anti immigration person as an ignorant shellsuit wearing sun reading halfwit then that shows your ignorance.

The race card is thrown around in this country far too often when some just want/wanted a slow up in numbers years ago.
When you start getting the likes of Dennis Skinner and Claire Short saying their is a problem and we have gone too far with the number we allow in then we are in trouble.

Millions in the UK going on Polls want something done about too much immigration, it is one of the top reason why people are now switching off to main stream politics, to ignore what people want is in my eyes a dictatorship.

If you want to be taken seriously then engage with the mainstream. Joining weird right wing fringe parties driven solely by a dislike of the European Union may make you feel better but it isn't going to take anyone with you.

No it does not need more immigration, if we are short of certain skills in this country we then like it or not start looking into the 3 million unemployed(probably more than 5 million) pool of lost souls, and by hook or by crook we drag them into a an aspirational wanting world where they have some self belief and feelings of worth, we do not just give up on them and allow immigrants to flood our shores. We seriously need some tough love in this country, and why should we poach what could be badly needed doctors from third world countries that might badly need them also.

We have an educational system in this country that is second to none, it's time we become more self suffient with our own people.

Bringing and an expert indian cook or Polish landworker into an already over crowded UK is just not on, and I am aslo talking about the the more skilled as well.

Here is the list of skilled occupation where UK government have acknowledged that there is a shortage.

Many are in the areas of Electrical Power Generation, the electricity transmission and distribution. There are certainly not enough skilled people available in this area so here migration will help.

This is so true. As an immigrant I am quite astonished at the class system. It is truly toxic.

It's amazing how as an immigrant or emigrant you look at the various ways the countries you left and arrived in and think either, "that's mental" or "that's awesome".

I'd love to spend the next 20 years working my way around the world and then be a politician using what I learned.

Sadly, nobody would vote for me.

As an immigrant myself, I have found the vast majority of British people to be tolerant, accepting, open-minded, inclusive and decent.

As always, there are exceptions, like HSW/Foxy/iandury with somewhat more odious and bigoted views, but it takes all kinds I suppose.:)
