immigration on the rise.

[mark vincent]

Net immigration from within the EU is up 200,000 while immigration from outside the EU has been cut by 25,000.
The Tories said they would reduce immigration to 10's of thousands, whats going on then? why don't them admit that there is fook all they can do about immigration from with in the EU, also they should admit that they no longer govern Britain they are nothing more than paid administrators implementing EU policy.
Camoron talks out of both sides of his mouth, back here he says he wants to reduce EU power over the UK but when in Europe he says he would like to see the EU expand into Asia.

Surely net immigration is a pointless number.

Are you saying not enough British people left?

The Conservatives are (generally) backed by big business.
Their grassroots are (generally) against immigration.

Immigration is good for business, so why should the Tories stop it?

It is in their interest to make the right noises to the grassroots and hook the extreme wings, but at teh same time acting for the business leaders that fund and influence the party, or once were part of the party.

Twas ever thus. Maggie did the same, all for expanding 'Europe' while givng many people the impressionthat she wasn't .

Net immigration from within the EU is up 200,000 while immigration from outside the EU has been cut by 25,000.

An increase in immigrants from East Europe was always predicted and, of course, it is now happening.

There is only one solution to prevent this, if it is not already too late.

The Tories say they will give us a referendum on continued EU membership in 2017, but they are unlikely to retain office next time. Even then, that is three or four years away.

New Improved Labour are clearly in favour of remaining under the control of Brussels.

The Limp Dems are now a spent force, so I think we can ignore them.

UKIP are obviously in favour of regaining our sovereignty but, to be realistic, they are not going to dominate parliament, although I hope they will gain some seats.

So there it is. Our future, like it or not, is to remain in the EU.

You've got to admire the Germans, though. They tried it on twice and failed each time. Now they are taking over Europe by peaceful means. Third time lucky?

The trick is to make the UK less welcoming for johnny foreigner. I estimate that if we could clone enough joe90's to work at all UK border controls, there would be a 99.9% reduction in immigration.

The 0.1% that would still be coming ashore are the catholic priests and bishops who have heard of the sterling work being carried out amongst their ilk and brethren in those special "rings" up in Rochdale.
