Immigration Issue Will See Cameron Lose Election

[ChillDoubt]

unless he takes Merkel's advice and focuses on the economy instead:

More meat and drink for the UKIP agenda, which will be further fuelled when DC has to stump up that 1.7 billion before Xmas........

Mr Cameron talks a good talk. Unfortunately he makes pledges he cannot keep. His advisors are not advising him properly; they should tell him, particularly where EU immigration is concerned, that it is not negotiable and never will be and to make foolish pledges will only discredit him.

For the UK the choice is clear. If it wants to regain control over its borders it must leave the EU. Nothing else will do. I don't think it is quite realised what a major problem uncontrolled immigration already is and how much more serious it will become. Government Minister Nick Boles has said that the UK needs to get used to having large numbers of migrants settling in the UK each year. He's absolutely right and the only way to alter that - and to keep around £10bn a year in subs - is withdrawal.

I popped into Coventry today with my wife to do some shopping in the city centre and could not believe the number of people I heard talking Polish (or similar, I am no expert on the Polish language).

What with the number also speaking Urdu (or similar Asian language) it was like going to another country.

Looks like these two threads will intertwine:

//...Mr Messina warned them that if they campaigned on issues which Ukip or Labour were strong on they would lose.//

And since when have Labour been strong on immigration?

How traumatic it must have been for you to hear all those horrid foreign languages VHG......did you have an attack of the vapours and thus needed smelling salts ?

[mikey4444]

I was appalled when my 9 year old niece came home from school and told me that she was having to learn a foreign language...what on earth use is French going to be to her in the future ? You couldn't make it up ! Our British kids should be learning English, not this foreign muck.

That's only one part of the Country VHG, ask the people from Boston Linc's, if there are any on here, they will tell you.

[mikey4444]

VHG...just make sure you ask the right people in Boston though.

Make sure that they haven't been on the dole because they won't take the job of picking veg, that the Poles are more than happy of doing.

[TWR]

Micky, I doubt if you done Spud Picking, Veg Picking! would you do a 12hrs stint for peanuts? I doubt it, Yes the Pols do come here & they will work, but work for a pittance, would you like this country to go back to the workhouse days? that is the Tory's stance.

[TWR]

To Add Micky, there is an answer to the lazy *** that will not get off their @rses & find work, No Benefits at all " Simple"

//British kids should be learning English, not this foreign muck.

Mrs Trellis of North Wales.//

credibility gap there mikey. Mrs Trellis's first language almost certainly welsh, so she'll be no fan of her kids learning English.

[mikey4444]

TWR...I agree with you on the second point, which might surprise you !

But we have to get those frozen peas from somewhere, and somebody has to pick them. So if our own dole bludgers won't work, what are the farmers supposed to do...plough their crop back into the ground ?

[mikey4444]

Mush...when Mrs Trellis writes in to "I'm sorry, I haven't a Clue" its always in English ! Sorry if I was being overly ironic.

[Baldric]

I suggest Mrs Trellis would not have any strong views. she would most likely just sit on the Fence!

[mikey4444]

lol Baldric !

[TWR]

I've done the farm work Micky & believe me it was hard, nowadays they have machines for nearly all that's planted, Can you remember the song by David Alexandra "If I could see the Rhonda one more time"? if not, it was about the South Wales Miners going on strike, it was a true story, this Government are enjoying to see people going back to that, my comments regards getting off their @rses, I would make them work if only to clean the streets / Graffiti / or the likes but again, a sort Government, I have always been brought up to earn my money, these lazy s---ds should do the same.

[Svejk]

Mikey, it's the free movement of people that makes it difficult to find agricultural workers. As each new wave of immigrants finds better/easier jobs or even 'life on benefits'. You, TWR and the CBI might like the idea of 'other' people doing back-breaking work for low wages but unfortunately those at the sharp end ain't quite so keen. This didn't matter as long as the EU kept expanding to encompass poorer countries with more desperate people but 'the jigs up' as they say.

[mikey4444]

Again TWR, we appear to be in agreement !

Of course farm work is hard, and so was coal mining ( when we had some coal mines of course) I would like nothing better than to stay at home and not work but I have a mortgage and therefore no choice.

I can't understand why any Government would allow people to refuse a job, sometimes for years and years, and still continue to pay them money for doing nothing ? This isn't a party-political point, as it can't be in the interest of anybody to allow this to go on.
