"If 1.5 million British people came to Poland and lived in the poorer, rougher areas of Polish cities do you think none at all would suffer violence?

ATTN FOLKS... RE. MURDERED 14 YEAR OLD POLE

28.01.08, 11:25pm

Over the past 3 years over 1.5 million Polish people have spent time living and working in Britain. In that time, 5 Polish women have been murdered during that time.

One was killed by her Portuguese boyfriend, one was killed by a paedophile in Scotland, one was killed unintentionally during a gunfight between black youths. This 14 year old girl was killed by a neighbour (now awaiting trial). She lived in one of those "no-go" areas of Leeds.. drugs, gun-crime, prostitution and a high immigrant population. Number 5 was horrifically killed by burning. They had nothing to do with the victims being Polish. If 1.5 million British people came to Poland and lived in the poorer, rougher areas of Polish cities do you think none at all would suffer violence?

ILLEGAL MIGRANT AMNESTY

28.01.08, 11:17pm

It is not a well known fact, that there has been a partial amnesty for illegal migrants since 2004.
On the 1st May 2004, 10 countries joined the EU.

For these legal migrants to appear in official goverment statistics, they have to register in the home office Worker Registration Scheme (WRS). in 2004 it cost £50, more recently £75. An example of the goverment making money from the migrants.
I have been helping people fill out these WRS forms. One of the questions asks if you arrived before 1st May 2004. I get the feeling that people from these 10 countries who have been here working illegally, well before 2004 are getting a total amnesty. Just pay £75 and you are legal !

MURDERED POLISH MIGRANT GIRL

28.01.08, 9:51pm

Replying to dylan. You can find a report by searching the news on bbc.co.uk by her name
Zuzanna Zommer.

And it was Front page news in the Yorkshire Evevning post. 2 @ 3 oct 2007.

And my mistake. The arrested man is 39 not 36 years old.

MIGRANTS SEND OUR CRIME RATE SOARING

28.01.08, 9:40pm

whats this police officer talking about. theres no invasion of migrants to this country, just like there is no extra strain on the housing, hospitals, schools, education, and benefits, they are just a figment of our imaginations. i mean, it's like the yob binge drinking, it doesn't really exist we just need to make the the stupid gits know when to stop drinking when thy have had enough. the police would do better and imagine all the surnames from a-m to phone in sick on a specified date and the following week all surnames from n-z to call in sick. then let the government have their imaginations playing wild.

BLACK POLICEMAN SAYS IMMIGRANTS BRING CRIME

28.01.08, 8:44pm

The fact that not a single White Male senior police officer in our politically correct Forces does anything but parrot the wonders of immigration, tells you the calibre of those in the top jobs. They know which side their bread is buttered. Mr Fuller is safe, of course, because he's ..... tall (or short).

Perhaps we can get a comment from the smarmy 'PC CC' Peter Fahey (Chief Constable of Cheshire) in charge of 'Race & diversity' for the Assoc. of Chief Police Officers. He regularly falls over himself to back the government's mass immigration policies.

MIGRANTS SEND OUR CRIME RATE SOARING

28.01.08, 8:41pm

I'm of the opinion that a lot of the criminal imigrants come here for the purpose of crime. They know that the chance of them being caught is slim and if they are unlucky enough to be arrested and taken to court then the 'punishment' is very unlikely to be anything to worry about.

Nice name, I wonder where you got that one?

"A 14 year old Polish girl was raped and murdered last summer in Leeds. The accused is a 36 year old English neighbour !"

Really?
It must have been reported in the news then.
Where is the report?

GOVERMENT'S FAULT

28.01.08, 6:51pm

I am very angry but not surprised that this situation has arisen.
In April 2004, before the borders were opened and the goverment was forcasting 5,000 to 13,000 immigrants per year, I wrote to a couple of newspapers, predicting an absolute minimum of 100,000 per year. And chaos if we had an open door policy.

I am repeating what I said then.
That is, since there are hundreds of thousands of vacancies in the UK, Large employers and employment agencies should set up recruitment fairs in these countries. They should should interview and check the references of potential immigrants and their knowledge of English. These immigrants should have a guarantee of employment and accommodation before they are allowed entry to the UK.

The open door policy is the cause of increased crime. They arrive full of optimism and high hopes of getting rich quick. What they find is discrimination, slum landlords, violence and crime directed at them. A 14 year old Polish girl was raped and murdered last summer in Leeds. The accused is a 36 year old English neighbour !

MIGRANTS AND CRIME

28.01.08, 6:29pm

Just another one of the many benefits that immigration has brought to the country, to go with the benefits they are taking from the country. File it away with the dome, pensions,NHS,data protection,northern rock,dodgy doners,potholes,council tax,fuel bills, what is a little crime with or without guns and knives, trouble with you people you don't know when your well off, multi culturism and diversity for all, that's what Gordon Brown says

INTERESTING

28.01.08, 6:13pm

The article says about the policeman raising these concerns:

"Mr Fuller, Britain’s most senior black police officer" and goes on to say that he is tipped to be a future commissioner of the Met.

Imagine if it had been a white police officer saying this about immigrants...

Stephen Lawrence would have been mentioned. The words "institutionally racist" would have been bandied about and the police officer in queston would have been marched off to Room 101 for a bit of "diversity training." Oh and his career would have been in tatters and no way would anyone tip him to be a futre Met boss.

The same way that it's ok to slag off Muslims if you're an Asian bishop. Or criticise multiculturalism if you're the black leader of the Commission of Racial Equality.

LUDWIG - NO BEGGING

28.01.08, 5:43pm


Your comments give a very accurate account of the reason why all new arrivals to this country should have to pass a strict financial test before entry. Many foreign countriess do this so there is nothing unusual about it.

I would suggest that new arrivals should be able to demonstrate that they can support themselves financially for at least the first year. That is not unreasonable. If they can't support themselves while they find work they should be sent home. It is not our job to support beggars with our money.

AND THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO COLLAPSE!

28.01.08, 4:36pm

I think 'criminal migrants' are not the only problem in the UK now, READ THIS: 'good migrants' are already giving birth to more than 2.000 children a month, and this is just going to collapse the system (schools, nhs, transport, etc). Have the Goverment thought of this? I bet it has, but don't want to say anything...You'll see this in 5 years time, there is not doubt about it. Contact me then.
