Compared to a bitter old soak like you I have won the lottery!
And yet you seem unhappy with the status quo?
PS just looking at the stats for earnings £45K is enough to get you in the top 10%.Last edited by Euler; 15 April 2015, 14:02.Are you a loser?

Their real agenda is this - similar to labour. The lengths these people will go to in order to satisfy personal issues is breathtaking MigrationWatchUK | Was Mass Immigration a Conspiracy?
The strongest evidence for conspiracy comes from one of Labour’s own. Andrew Neather, a previously unheard-of speechwriter for Blair, Straw and Blunkett, popped up with an article in the Evening Standard in October 2009 which gave the game away.
Immigration, he wrote, ‘didn’t just happen; the deliberate policy of Ministers from late 2000…was to open up the UK to mass immigration’.
He was at the heart of policy in September 2001, drafting the landmark speech by the then Immigration Minister Barbara Roche, and he reported ‘coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended - even if this wasn’t its main purpose - to rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date’.
That seemed, even to him, a manoeuvre too far.
The result is now plain for all to see. Even Blair’s favourite think tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), commented recently: ‘It is no exaggeration to say that immigration under New Labour has changed the face of the country.’
It is not hard to see why Labour’s own apparatchiks supported the policy. Provided that the white working class didn’t cotton on, there were votes in it.
Research into voting patterns conducted for the Electoral Commission after the 2005 general election found that 80 per cent of Caribbean and African voters had voted Labour, while only about 3 per cent had voted Conservative and roughly 8 per cent for the Liberal Democrats.
The Asian vote was split about 50 per cent for Labour, 10 per cent Conservatives and 15 per cent Liberal Democrats.
Nor should we underestimate the power of ‘community leaders’ who have strong influence in constituency Labour parties and who, of course, benefit from a growth in numbers.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by Euler View PostNo it counts as the free reciprocal movement of labour.
If you say so.
And yet you seem unhappy with the status quo?
I maintain having freedom of movement between countries with wildly differing economies is dangerous for the lower earners as there will be a race to the bottom. Its Globalisation in microcosm.
I believe that entry into the common market which was voted on does not mean we agreed to the European Union and so it needs to be voted on again to be given validity.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Will you cease your moaning if you lose?
Anyway if it happened (EU exit) we'd get rid of the generally very hard working Eastern Europeans and get instead our old pensioners from France and Spain who cleverly have moved there because they get better health care than the NHS.
It's not a good deal for the country.Last edited by Euler; 15 April 2015, 14:06.Are you a loser?

Originally posted by d000hg View Post"Extreme in strength or degree" is the one people mean, I guess.
To follow your analogy, if your credit cards were the only means you had to buy food (for some reason you had no debit card or no money in your account due to overspending) then it would revert from reasonable to savage... regardless of having overspent and being debt, you still need to eat. I think that's - roughly, within the bounds of the analogy - what critics are saying.
now I'm prepared to believe some of the cuts could have been applied more sympathetically by those implementing them but overall they have been for the good.
