Numbers are not the issue and I would say hardly relevant. It is what hard working and honest people are seeing happening around them at this time which is shaping public opinion. People are fed up, disgusted and disillusioned with how this once great country of ours has and is being run and its resources being exploited. Not one of the main parties can give accurate figures for the number of legal/illegal immigrants that have been allowed across our borders. But, the effect of their numbers here is becoming very apparent.
They have cheapened our work force such that if you are fortunate to have a job with average pay you are afraid to ask for a reasonable pay increase because it is generally made quite clear that there is an abundance of cheaper labor available on the streets. The result is that wages have overall been reduced pushing more people to seek assistance just to try to keep a very expensive roof over their heads. This being because government has allowed a private/local government housing market to evolve that is market controlled and not based on affordability.
Corporations are also setting their work force to work overseas because wages are cheaper. Thus removing those opportunities from the people who need work in this country. Our industries have been allowed to fall and be scooped up by overseas compeditors. This has been a systematic dismantling of the wealth and earning potential of this country by all any of the Governments that have come to power over the last 50 years.
Now the shit has hit the fan to quote a coloquial term. Our houses are being purchased by immigrants for their families. Or being rented out at exhorbitant rates to pay for their retirements
instead of our Local government/s purchasing and building up the housing stock, that the Conservative party sold off, to provide good affordable housing for the citizens born and working all of their lives in this country.
The whole situation today is a total disgrace and an insult to the people born and deserving in the UK.
I for one will never vote Conservative as I have seen what they do once in power .. as for the other main parties I am at a loss because in my opinion none are willing to face the blunt truths of the situation and deal with it effectively and permanently.
For this reason I am seriously considering the BNP as a more viable party to put this country back where it should be. In front of the queue.
Their policies appear to be racist but hell, what is positive discrimation. A practice that has been used by main and local government for years that rewards people of ethnic minority regardless of ability. Is that not racist towards the born White UK citizen.
The BNP in my opinion make more sense to me and I think that its time for a major wake up call to the main politial parties.
I agree they should have a platform such as ‘question time’ but at the same time they should also clean up their act somewhat.
Finally, David, I apologise in advance if you find the follow unacceptable;
” If you are right about 5 million illegal immigrants, since we have ~ 2 and half million unemployed and most of them are going to have been born in Britain, most of your 5 million illegal immigrants must be working and not sponging off the state (illegals can’t claim benefits).”
This is more than likely true. It is common knowledge, at least around the area of London that I reside in, that there are a vast number of cash in hand workers (mainly in the building trade) taking work at vastly reduced rates and thus removing work opportunities from those seeking legal employment. Case in hand: the property that I reside in was recently purchased by two foreign nationals, renovated by an 8 man team of foreign workers that could not speak or understand English. These developers also own several properties in the area and out side of the Borough. Just one of many such enterprising groups exploiting this countries resources and work opportunities to UK born citizens.
