If Labour gets in once again and they continue to import their voters in at the rate they have up to now, how long will it be before this country is a third world country?
/// Last week the final official figures before the next election showed that the number of immigrants granted British citizenship soared by half as much again to more than 200,000 last year, 58 per cent up on the previous year.///
/// The figure has increased by more than five times since Labour came to power in 1997.///

I don't think you can win an election with 200,000 votes - even assuming that they all voted labour.
The International Monetary Fund (that extreme left wing organisation based in Washington DC) seem to be of the opinion that the Tories are more likely to turn the UK into a 3rd World country by turning a single dip recession into a full blown depression..

I think there was another statistic on the news the other day that immigration had fallen upon the previous year. The thing is. that Cameron needs to buff up, he is slow in some respects and ideally he should be more in the forefront esp considering all the negative media surrounding Brown's bullying issue and his party's lapse attitude towards immigration. Some immigration is good but now is the time to show that the main parties have a control on the issue before people deflect and start casting votes elsewhere not just Labour. I hope everyone here votes Tory.
Hi Rojash thanks for all the help given on the technology topics.
No I am not saying they could win an election with 200,000 votes, what I am saying that this is 200,000 more potential Labour votes towards those they already have. And yes I think that most immigrants would vote Labour, the party that invites them in and then looks after them.

As I sit here and type this, my double-glazed, insulated house is keeping the cold out and my broadband connection is working okay and I have electricity in my wires and gas in my pipes (so to speak!). I hear no nearby gunfire and I hear no distant explosions.
I do not look out of my glazed windows onto thousands of square metres of rancid, rotting rubbish, being foraged by children and people who are 40 years old but look 80.
I can jump into my car (even at this late hour) and go to a 24 hour supermarket and purchase products that would have rendered our recent ancestors dumbstruck with disbelief. And I don't just mean the technological stuff. Simply being able to buy cabbages, oranges, carrots, olives, pineapples, bananas, etc. just a couple of generations ago would have been unthinkable.
I strongly suspect that the above is true for 99.9% of all those people on AB.
To suggest Britain is now a third world country is bordering on the hysterical.

I don't deny that there are some very unpleasant places to live in the UK - I live on a council estate in a very run-down northern town with a history of violent civil disobedience – so I'm hardly lording it up in my ivory tower.
To suggest the UK is a third world country shows that either, 1) you're taking the problems associated with small localised areas and assuming that everywhere in the UK suffers from the same, or 2) you don't know what problems that people living in a real third world country have to deal with every single day.
The UK is not a third world country. It just isn't.
