Have they took a leaf out of the BNP's tactic book?

The length some Labour MPs will go to, to save their jobs and perks, never ceases to amaze me.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't?

Are you a teacher Lucy?

You may be right AOG but are they any different from the opposition parties ?

Why should discussing immigration be something to be ashamed of.

It is the very fact the main parties HAVE NOT discussed immigration we are in the mess we are in now.

This has been a non-subject for decades (I remember Enoch Powell saying as much) and the main parties have allowed immigration to go on and on without ever doing anything about it.

Now we have cities like Leicester and Birmingham soon having a MAJORITY of immigrants which is an absolute scandal.

some people criticise the government for not admitting there's an immigration problem. Others criticise them when they do.

Oddly enough, sometimes these are the same people.

Lucy's not a pain in the elbow, nor anywhere else. She is simply a person who cannot understand how we far our standards of grammatical English have fallen. It is to our eternal shame.

"Have they took", for heaven's sake!

MarkRae - in which case, why are you not speaking 'pure' English from the 15th Century?

Language evolves over time - those who can't see that are ignorant. The purpose of language is to communicate. The question posed, whilst not grammatically correct, is rather obvious.

People like you (and Lucy) irritate me even more than AOG. You come on to forums like this to not make any constructive comments but rather try to embarrass people.

You, are the ignorant ones.

p.s. If you are going to criticise (or defend people who attack) people's grammar, try and make sure that your own sentence actually makes sense!

Why does the headline say the tactics would "shame the BNP"???

Perhaps because the BNP didn't get a similarly worded leflet out first.

It's Labour who should be ashamed of itself.

i see you were right jno.

[anotheoldgit]

Thank you for that Oneeyedvic.

It seems in the circumstances that people such as LucyThomas7 and MarkRae haven't got the debating skills to put an answer together, they therefore feel obliged to resort to petty nit-picking.

/// some people criticise the government for not admitting there's an immigration problem. Others criticise them when they do.///

No, we criticise them when there happens to be a general election around the corner, before they admit there is an immigration problem.

In fact it now seems that even the humble electorate can openly discuss immigration, without the fear of being branded a racist.

Strange????????
