STOP BROWN!

27.04.08, 10:46pm

TreeHugger and Gaf,

You're spot on! Where's a "Longshanks", a "Hammer of the Scots" (Scottorum Malleus) when needed?

We can all be hammers of Scots!

We're going to hammer him and his right hand buffoon, Darling (Good Riddance, Darling! and 'Broon'- you'll be gone soon!) on the day of the general election.

YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR!

People have a choice, either they will begin to vote in large numbers for the one party that will tackle the problem without fear of political correctness or the country will sink without trace into oblivion.

IMMIGRATION

03.04.08, 4:57pm

In over 50 years of my own research I have not met anyone in the british isles that wanted any immigrants that would not be an asset to these two islands. I find it very very strange that the labour government actually pays them to invade when millions sacrified their lives to keep them out. Pity britain no longer has any of that ilk.

IMMIGRANTS

03.04.08, 3:57pm

Gordon Brown is trying to deflect his deficiencies as P.M. by bringing up the immigants once again, he has admitted there is no precise numbers available, and we are paying out to dependants in other countries what wrong with us for letting it happen our M.P's are like pigs at the trough filling themselves with expenses and freebies far too busy to be concerned at what is happening to the populace, their only worry to contimue to live as the have become accustomed as our supposed representatives at Westminster at our expense and to hell with their constituents lets face it the whole party are incapable of even looking after documents, week after week we hear of things going missing and gaffs being made. the answer confuse the issue more, after all we in england are at the bottom of the pile as far as he is concerned

HEADS IN THE SAND!

02.04.08, 11:28pm

There is only one way, officially, to get rid of these idiots with their heads in the sand! That is at the ballot box. So let us hope that this time, the British people get it right and vote Labour into oblivion. Trying to talk some sort of common sense into these very dangerous fools, is quite obviously not possible, so at every opportunity, the people of this country, if they want to carry on living in the country called England, had better vote for anyone other than Labour! UKIP would be a wise move.

BROWN AND IMMIGRANTS

02.04.08, 9:54pm

I think it is a case of Brown wanting more votes than immigrants and inviting more in comes at no cost in the short term, which is cheaper than having to 'buy' votes from fed up British people. Only a fool would want more immigrants while there is every chance of a severe slow down, so Brown fits the bill well. The people will not be fooled and know 'real' unemployment is likely in 'proper' jobs and more curry chef 's will not be required as restaurants go to wall as there will not be the money to visit them so why not train the thousands of Asians on benefits in Tower Hamlets which has massive unemployment problems. When voted out this useless govt. will not only leave massive debts(as per usual) for someone else to sort out, but a huge social problem as well.

IMMIGRATION AND GOVERNMENT JUST DO NOT ADD UP

02.04.08, 9:46pm

I just wonder at times whether our wonderful government can actually add up at all and whether they should take a lesson out of their own book to achieve future greatness - education! education ! education ! Indeed, basic arithmetic is not hard to grasp so it should be simple for our politicians to undertake, but unfortunately when it comes to immigration even cabinet ministers cannot add up the cost of a policy of unlimited access and whether the country has net benefits or not. In this respect also it appears that cabinet ministers and even prime ministers do not understand what common sense dictates, but where in comparison to this the vast number of the British people have been concerned about the ever-increasing immigration problem for nearly 10-years now. In this respect our politicians never did and still do not comprehend the problems caused by the increased demand on our health services, social services, housing, social benefits, loss of jobs by British workers due to immigration and the influx in absolute numbers of millions of new people who have flooded onto our shores in recent years. If they did they would through common sense again understand that our country can only be a net loss maker. Indeed, common sense has told the British people over the last few years that immigration is predominantly a negative factor within our economy and where the costs of the immigration burden far outweigh the benefits, most probably by a factor of three at least if the politicians did their sums correctly. But unfortunately again what we have got in this country presently is a government that simple cannot add up and where normal common sense is something that these politicians certainly do not possess.
Therefore the sooner that our political masters get a grasp of both, the sooner the people of this dear nation will get a government that does something right for a change. Or am I asking the impossible I would ask with this present administration ?

If the immigrants didn't come here to fill jobs we apparently create just for them,according to you, then as you say the firms will just move abroad and the immigrants can stay where they come from and NOT come here, use OUR NHS that is struggling to cope, NOT fill our schools full of their offspring that can't speak our language, NOTcost a fortune in interpreters, NOT take over whole area's and make them 'no-go' area's, NOT dictate to us what we can and can't do culturally, NOT sue us in the courts because they want to do as they please against all our wishes, NOT plan to take us over and MAKE us into an Islamic state, AND SO ON AND SO ON.........
Oh, I forget ,we should all bow down to NU-Labour indoctrination and eagerly give up OUR land and country that previous generations have given their lives for!
If you want to live in a global state, sod off to Europe or better still go and live in one of the Muslim countries and get some experience of just what its going to be like here before long.

BROWN WANTS MORE IMMIGRANTS

02.04.08, 9:27pm

gordon the un elected primeminister ,must realise his days are numbered ,not just by the british public voting him out ,but his own party will eventualy turn on him ,his comments do nothing to bring confidence to the british public ,like his predecessor he is commiting political suicide ,mr darling has sured up northern rock and the tax payer is unlikely to see its money ,gordon saddled the country with billions in debt and wasted the pension funds ,the euro is rising and the pound and dollar are shaky ,this is a recipe for disaster ,the building industry will be hit first already a brick works in wales is shutting up shop ,when the jobs start to go so will the immigrants, apart for those who have gained citizen ship ,at present low paid factory work and other jobs are being filled as soon as advertised ,but tensions are rising where you have large communitys of immigrants and sooner or later something very smelly will hit the fan.

THANKS FOR COMMENTS.

02.04.08, 8:50pm

My opinion is: Your social security serviece is toooo generous. It's so easy to get benefits in the UK. Don't blame many people prefer to stay at home doing nothing, rather then go to work. It's sad to say but thanks to those people we got our jobs.
