Are you aware of how much harder this government has made it to come into the country from outside the EU?
I very much am, having a Chinese wife.
You appear to have believed what the Mail tells you...
Such as policemen being instructed by immigration officials to give directions to the nearest immigration office to collared illegal immigrants - such as the granting of British citizenship to foreign criminals AND, the huge influx of immigrants over the past 12 years. You shouldn't believe everything that you read in the Guardian either! Your experience with your wife is hardly testament to the tribulations of potential immigrants - there are many millions who have faced no difficulties whatsoever - and countless many more still here, many years after it has been deemed that they shouldn't be.

Excellent!

Brilliant!
Being male, I have never given birth, but I KNOW that it hurts. And perhaps you have forgotten the whistleblower who successfully sued the government for unfair dismissal, after being sacked for telling the public how inept the immigration authorities are. Now he did of course have relevant experience. You might even have noticed it in the Guardian!

The immigrants are definitely the problem facing this country. Not simply one of many symptoms caused by the naked greed of the pragmatic neoliberalist mode of capital.
It's the immigrants. I can blame them without having to think to hard![]()

What about Martin Webster & Harvey Proctors 'special relationship'Wikipedia comments on the collapse of the National Front in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
"Thus, the three important factors in the NF's collapse were Margaret Thatcher's "swamping" speech designed to cream off the NF vote in key marginal constituencies, John Tyndall's rash diktat on the NF standing in 303 seats, and - ironically - the collapse of the ANL."
As a well known American from Stop the War Coalition told the assembled crowds on Picadilly Gardens in Manchester in June:
[very excited] 'we got a take 'em... n' stop 'em...n'...n' club 'em on the head... yes, club 'em on the head'!
someone really needs to point out the illogic in what they say about how muslim populations grow faster so eventually they will outnumber non muslims and turn the uk into an islamic state.
You don't know for sure that they will eventually outnumber non-muslims in this country. Fertility rates for Bangladeshi and Pakistani women (most of whom we can assume are Muslim) are in gradual decline.
Muslims will almost certainly make up a considerably bigger proportion of the population in, say, thirty years' time. That's about all that can be said with much certainty.
Will a sizeable number of them want Britain to become an Islamic state? Again, no-one knows.
It is these uncertainties which I reckon many people find unnerving and provide opportunities for the BNP to exploit. A lot of the Far Right's rhetoric revolves around dire predictions of what the future will be like. Even when they sieze on present-day issues, it's often to say 'you can expect a lot more of this'.
yeah, im sure the avarage muslim thinking four kids is ideal will decline on account of fertility rates. and im sure most normal muslims are in favour of personal freedoms, equal rights for women and so on. its just a small element within there community such as the sharia for uk group that dislike those things. as we see clearly across the world countries with mainly muslim populations are starting to move away from oppressive religous rulers and towards more personal freedoms, such as in iraq and afghanistan. and the way the outcry across the muslim world at the 911 mass murders far outweighed those over, say, the muhamed cartoons clearly shows that your avarage normal muslim is a million miles from the fundamentalst mentality and so would never want there religion to be imposed on any country in any way.
I was being straight with you. Be straight with me.

I don't want you to agree with me. I want you to be straight with me.

I mean surely it ought to be good to want a society in which people can walk down the street and feel part of a shared society. But the BNP going on about muslim men grooming young white women as paedophiles does the exact opposite of that.
It's always good to want that. Any normal semi-decent person likes to see people of different creeds and different races getting along together.
Thats true.
But what if people dont want to live in a multicultural enviroment ? Should they be forced to comply or is it valid to have political parties that reflect their wishes ?
Of course its not valid anymore than saying you don't wish to share the world with people from any other group.
What force do you mean?
