According to the Labour Party website the Labour Party have achieved the following in their time in power: Why Labour? The protection of our borders is fundamental to the future of our country. We are committed to building on the progress we have made to create a system in which people can have confidence, which […]

The Migration Impact Fund is a joke!
Asylum Seekers and EU Nationals don’t pay when applying to stay in the UK. They pay £50 only on application of a British Passport.
All applicants pay £50 when applying for Nationality.
£50 is a small price to pay when you only have to work for 12 months and then claim benefits and live in social housing.
They only announced this in March 2009, I wonder why it took the Labour Government so long, is it because their open immigration was rumbled….?

“* In 2007, we removed an immigration offender on average, every 8 minutes.”
If that’s an accurate figure and it’s still the case, Labour will be removing over 100,000 illegal immigrants a year.
In March 2009 a study by the London School of Economics said the number of illegal immigrants in the UK lies somewhere between 524,000 and 947,000, with a “midpoint” figure of 725,000.
If accurate and no new illegal immigrants entered the UK it would therefore take the current government tactics about 7 years to remove them all. Realistically we’ll have more coming into the UK (how many a year?), so illegal immigration will always be a problem.
I wonder if an amnesty would be in order for SOME illegal immigrants?
Currently they don’t pay NI or taxes and so do not contribute to the services they use. There’s a good argument for bringing non-criminal illegal immigrants who can support themselves and their family into the tax system, since unless an illegal immigrant commits fraud they can’t claim benefits, so the majority must be working (I find it hard to believe they are ALL fiddling the system).

David,
An illegal immigrant is called illegal because he is illegal.
That means he has committed an illegal act, and people who have committed illegal acts used to be called criminals, put on trial, and if guilty punished in some way.
You want to bend these rules and reward those who already show such disrespect for our laws? For why?
So you can be seen as supporting the Labout party, who caused all the problem in the first place.
You are one of the ‘insulated’ ones, and there are none so blind as those who will not see.
Vote BNP

Are you suggesting when someone has broken the law, immigration law in this case, they should not be considered for a second chance?
People make mistakes, it’s part of the human condition.

Depends on the crime, rape and murder – no. I wouldn’t care where they were from I would happily drop them off at the nearest airport.
Shoplifting to feed their family, I can sympathise with that.
If you give someone hospitality and the chance to live in peace, you must be some kind of moron to abuse that by committing violent crime.

If the majority of the 3/4 of a million illegal immigrants were fiddling the system it should be really easy to find them.
3 million unemployed, 3/4 of a million immigrants claiming fraudulently, therefore about 1 in 4 unemployed people are illegal immigrants, should be easy to round them all up when they sign on.
The reality is most illegal immigrants must be working as otherwise they’d starve to death as they can not claim benefits legally.

Labour is good atleast it has not increased taxes to kill its own people in england,But tories would i think do that, Conservative is only for rich people,
Recession is Global Dillema and its getting fine with a time,Tories have no substantial plans for it,
Inernational Studengts who contribute £8.5 Billion to the UK economy, Tories are gonna block them with strict laws , who would come here infront of other ideal competitors like australia/canada and US,
Immigration is needed here but controlled,with out that UK cant go ahead with world, who would do that construction work/part time jobs etc.
Alot Pakistani or indian businesses would shut down becoz of low demand of their products.
Think about it.
Tories are no cure.
Labour is still better i belive.

“Recession is Global Dillema and its getting fine with a time,Tories have no substantial plans for it”
The Labour Party have only suggested a law that says they should pay down half the countries deficit withing four years, they actually haven’t said how they intend to do that (so they have no real plan)
The Tories have actually said they will cut public services and other areas in order to actually pay some of the deficit off rather than just talking about it.
“Inernational Studengts who contribute £8.5 Billion to the UK economy, Tories are gonna block them with strict laws”
Labour virtually allows anyone to become a student without enough strict checks (open door) whilst the Tories plan to cap the numbers and make them pay a bond which wil ensure we have students who can actually afford to pay there way, and should they then over stay their visa’s etc they will effectively be paying to be found and removed themselves, in my opinion this is far stronger than anything Labour have planned.

Labour are great if you’re on benefits, working for them or just simply wanting to arrive and take advantage of our generosity through our welfare, schools and healthcare.
I’m a great believer in market forces and people taking responsibility for themselves!

‘Labour are great if your’e on benefits’
Obviously you don’t know much about the New Deal programme. I give Labour credit for introducing minimum wage, but New Deal involves forcing claimants to go through hour after hour of pointless and soul destroying tasks and doing unpaid work which amounts to exploitation. If a claimant is late, even with a valid reason there are draconian measures. Bullying people into work is not the answer and you are deluded if you think it is. In Britain today unemployment is being criminalised.
As for people taking ‘responsibility for themselves’ do you really think claimants enjoy being vilified constantly and being treated as inferior? Many claimants do voluntary work and contribute to society. They just don’t happen to have a paid job. Of course Tory voters like you are too ignorant and self-righteous to bother acknowledging this. You prefer to tar an entire minority with the same brush. You are a bigot, plain and simple. I suggest you get yourself educated on these matters.

copy and paste this link and see what the labour party has been doing for 10 years https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/6418456/Labour-wanted-mass-immigration-to-make-UK-more-multicultural-says-former-adviser.html
AT LAST! Gordon Brown reveals himself in all his two faced arrogance. If you dare to mention immigration you are automatically considered a bigot! I’m suprised he didn’t go the whole way and call that poor woman a racist or Nazi just for good measure. We have a man with these views as prime minister and we wonder why immigration is completely out of control! To compound matters instead of simply apologising but standing by his clearly expressed viewpoint, he went grovelling to her house, begging for forgiveness and came out claiming it was all a missunderstanding. How utterly pathetic and totally nauseating! If people opposed to immigration, who live in high immigration areas needed any further reasons to switch from Labour to the BNP, I don’t think they do now!

i would like to know where he gets his figures from, he said to the woman that there is 1 million people come into the country and 1 million people have left?.no wonder david icke calls them shape shifting reptillions
‘You are a bigot, plain and simple. I suggest you get yourself educated on these matters’
Now Mr Brown, we’ve been through this. Masquerading under a different name still doesn’t make it ok to call people bigots.
