    There is an article in the Daily Mail today featuring the lady from Boston who spoke out against Mass Immigration on Question Time.

    Before anybody starts criticizing and making snide comments for posting an article from the "Daily Fail" - please do not bother with your clueless ill informed ranting it's all been heard before.

    This article goes some way to painting a true picture of the true impact of mass immigration.

    If so - my apologies, I assumed your post was suggesting she was a hypocrite.

    I don't "think" - I know - mass immigration is causing huge problems and tensions in towns.

    As you have made the link would you care to expand on the point you are making?

    Since the poster is from the same town as the link he provided I wondered if he held the same opinion as the woman in the article

    What is the job situation like up in the NE?

    Is there a lot of seasonal ebbs and flows? Is there an attraction to be there, job wise?

    IMO it tends to be where you get concentrations that things are exacerbated and there is a disproportionate impact, in rural areas, small towns perhaps. Infrastructure and services being more easily overwhelmed?

    but we are all free to go to Poland and soon, Bulgaria and Romania. Isn't that exciting. I for one can't wait. All my friends are buzzing with excitement about this. Not.

    Its all very well having a deal like this where there is actually a point to it - ie New Yorkers wanting to come to London, Londoners to LA, or Sydney or similar. But there is no point with Bulgaria because no one (or an incredibly small percentage of Brits) wants to go there. Yet a load of them want to come here.

    Pointless trash.
