    sampong is one of a small, dwindling band which dreams of a 1950's england, where everyone was white and knew their place. that's sampong.

    You would have thought this thread really couldn't get any more bizarre, but that post really is ludicrous. And look who the first idiot to wet his pants and thank you is (Hamish).

    This comment demonstrates an unbelievable level of ignorance and stupidity.

    We believe that immigration should be brought down to the level of emigration

    You really should bother to do the teeniest bit of research before making such sweeping statements.

    This is the last time I will enter into a discussion regarding the wording of the title, since the point has already been clarified yet - you still keep bringing it up.

    The statement is true unless you are too stupid to realize the slight error in the working.

    If it makes you feel better, just replace "than" with "in" and then you have;

    UK attracts more Immigrants in the whole of the EU;

    which is absolutely true.

    It's not misleading no, not to a normal person anyway. Numpty's on the other hand - I can't control.
    When idiots like you feel free to comment on hugely complicated social issues and use their own statistical sources to justify their bigotry its always a concern....because frankly you seem to talk about very little else and that to me seems a tad unhealthy?

    How pathetic and weak.

    Thanks for summing yourself up nicely it's saved me the effort. I think only DumbLonelyWaster has managed to make himself look this stupid quicker in a thread in recent times.

    Your topic was nonsense and your mathematics thus far would be embarrassing for primary school children. It's even more laughable because, even some of the other anti-immigration posters are distancing themselves rather than be associated with it.

    Erm - and this proves what exactly? Are you going to say that all the members of balanced migration are bigots? It's interesting that the content of that site refers to the House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs report - which you and other posters on here conveniently ignore;
    We have found no evidence for the argument, made by the Government, business
    and many others, that net immigration – immigration minus emigration –
    generates significant economic benefits for the existing UK population.

    And their recommendation is;
    The Government should have an explicit and reasoned indicative target range for
    net immigration and adjust its immigration policies in line with that broad
    objective.

    Which is what most sensible people would agree is the favored option.

    What is unhealthy is your frequent use of the "bigot" word - you have no argument, like many others here, and all you can do is resort to trying to vilifying someone by constantly labeling them and hoping that if you say it enough - you will win.

    Nice post!

    If you are hoping to win an award for the most !!!!!! comment ever. What kind of response do you actually expect to idiotic, twisted comments like this;
    sampong is one of a small, dwindling band which dreams of a 1950's england, where everyone was white and knew their place. that's sampong.

    where the poster is clearly accusing me of racism - when I am nothing of the sort.

    As I said - how pathetic and weak.

    Any nation with an immigration policy that states anything other than "all human beings can come and go freely as they please" is racist.
