to be concerned re. what is going on re. immigration and population growth?

[ClarityJane]

So many non-English voices, especially East Europeans, but so many different nationalities en masse it seems have moved here in the last 10-20 years - completely unprecedented historically. And in an already very over-crowded island.

Today I read Labour MP Frank Field say that the population increase due to immigration by 2031, i.e. less than 20 years, will be approximately 10 million and will require building something like seven new Birminghams! Or another London! Based on latest predictions in the papers today anyway.

Did Blair and Mandelson envisage this when they signed up for European Community rules on immigration and refugees? Or did they cynically not care because it meant cheap labour, cheap votes, increased profits (via membership of the European Community).

Did the architects of this policy not consider how it would affect housing, jobs and education and the resulting massive investment needed there, and the over-crowded population we have already.

I believe we have never been consulted or told anything honestly about what the consequences of EC membership was immigration-wise, if indeed there was ever any plan (doesn't seem to be, just a kind of opportunistic carpetbaggers philosophy approach of selling England by the pound).

I feel deceived and hoodwinked really. But are there any more positive thoughts on this? I find it v. depressing.

Oh, I love you Lovecat

How apt!

Teeth you could use as a place of worship!

Bollocks.

I love being a priest. We're all going to heaven lads, wheeeyyyyyy!

The true answer, of course, has to be Richard Armitage. Closely followed by Rhod.

heartbroken, are you telling me the OP is racist?

Mmmmmm....Richard Armitage.

:D lovecat

YouTheCat shhh! We aren't meant to tell them the truth!

heartbroken please educate yourself and understnad what a racist is before you call people one. I do not think I am superior to a 'race' of people by any means. I am saying that I think some people who live in a differnt location - whatever that country maybe should not come to live here no matter what country they live in, colour, lanugauge etc. My stance on imigaration applies to all people wishing to come a live here so therefore I am not discrimmiating on any particular attributes.

I am mortally offended by being called a racist - so is miy husband who is from a second generation immigrant.

For your reference:

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:

theories of racism
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:

No where did I make wrong or sweeping generalisations about immigrants based on particular attributes.

Mmmmmmmmmm......... Sorry, what was that about immigration?
