Been reading through this forum today and can see that immigration is a hot topic here. I just started this thread so I could explain to Joe my feelings on the situation because our previous discussion was taking a different thread off track.
Joe, I personally don't believe the country is full up and overflowing already. If Britain is in trouble economically, it's down to our useless government wasting money and creating red tape for businesses. Can you blame companies using foreign haulage, for example? Fuel is so highly taxed here, so if you can get the same service abroad for cheaper, I don't blame any company for using it. Labour just continues to tax us all into submission here. I feel that it's just too easy to blame immigrants for the problems here when there are far more serious issues at hand. And lets face it, we aren't a 3rd world country by any means and never will be. Perhaps our economy would be healthier if the government hadn't spent billions on an illegal war in Iraq.
