A large amount of people in this country have no fucking clue about what they're talking about.


The country is way over populated and there are not enough jobs to go around. Alot of immigrants actually believe the same.

In no way am i agreeing that there needs to be a complete stop on immigration, we need to try to reverse the aging population. But, as you no, there is going to be "Australian like" entry into the UK when the NEW government gain power

Over populated?

We're 51st in terms of population density, if you also look at the nations above us, we're far better resourced to deal with the density than the vast majority of them.

And why should population be getting the blame for the lack of jobs? Reducing the powers of the trade unions, removing green belts and red tapes, etc. could all provide many more jobs, and a far better standard of living than just kicking out people when we don't have enough jobs.

If you can actually show me any practical differences between the Tory policy, and what we currently have, I'd be glad to see them. As far as I can tell, it's just better PR.
