Well if they did this and then the EU said that it would be sending the British back home how would that play out?
You know what? I think they should be allowed to stay whatever the EU bullies threaten - one of the things I think make the British culturally different is that we do the right thing because it is the right thing.
Perhaps as a compromise we could offer 5 years under their current status with the automatic right to naturalise if they wish to stay after that.I think....0 -
Be careful we've already lost gen I wouldn't like to see you Join him.
I appreciate your concern but if I can't oppose xenophobic bigotry on here, then I don't want to be a member anyway.
His posts are completely unacceptable. If this forum is going become some kind of chest beating stomping ground for the BNP then I imagine I won't be the only one giving it a wide berth.0 -
Nationwide shows house price to earnings ratio of 6x compared to longterm average of 4.2x and with not enough houses being built yes they can be sustained.
The average UK salary is £26,500.
There's some disparity between average house prices, between £200K to £280K depending on whether they're "mix adjusted" or whether the "extreme values" are treated as anomolies (e.g. a £50M 10 bed detached house in Kensington) but if you take the lower figure mentioned by Nationwide here: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/01/average-uk-house-price-tops-pounds-200000 then it's at least 7.5 times. Take the median and you're around 9 times the average salary...0 -
Did you get told off for calling me an idiot?
If you keep getting pulled up on posts you will end up not being able to post anymore.
Wouldn't that be a shame.
Call me old fashioned but I believe in British houses and British Jobs should be for the British.
Anyone that threatens our livelyhood should be stopped.
I'm not calling you old fashioned, because there is nothing old fashioned about your poisonous opinions.
I am calling you a racist.0 -

http://bnp.org.uk/news/national/statement-historic-vote-britain-adam-walkerThe union of the United Kingdom is safe as there will not be the political will in an unstable EU to take on Scotland & Northern Ireland, especially considering that they would need to be subsidised with EU money rather than English money.
We have just taken a huge first step to regain our sovereignty!
We can reintroduce our territorial fishing waters, allow our fish stocks to build up and then expand a hugely successful fishing industry.
Our laws will be made in Westminster not Brussels and when we do leave the £350,000,000 per week can be used in our own country for our people.
Most importantly we now stand poised to regain control of our borders and we will then, for the first time in four decades, be able to control immigration.
Remarkably similar points to those made by the Leave campaign. Food for thought.0 -
lol now I'm BNP.
Hasn't anyone disagreed with your views before?
What makes you right and me wrong?
Your quite happy brandishing the MAJORITY of british voters as stupid uneducated bigots that are fundamentally racist.
Didn't anyone tell you its wrong to generalise about a group of people.0 -

Yeah, well they are branches from the same rotten apple tree unfortunately. And so many apples on that tree, each one bitter and sour.0 -

Care to quote any racist comments I have made.0 -
Piece on the BBC now about difficulties in NHS recruitment. Sure in the future we will use points based immigration system but until that is in place we need to keep eu migration in place for NHS recruitment and the current uncertainty will kill this.I think....0
