    Yes, the other 630m Europeans will be collateral damage.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      American policy allows the UK (and presumably France) to have nuclear weapons because they do not perceive any situation in which those weapons could be directed at them. If muslim majorities become the norm in Europe then that view would have to be reviewed... and presumably the perceived threat removed or neutralised.

        Personally I think that this mass immigration that has happened over the past 10 years or so has been uncalled for and I believe the majority of "British" people don't support it. Certainly all the people that I speak to from all walks of life don't agree with it. One of the fundamental problems we have with this country is that we've imported masses of cheap labour to do the jobs that people on the dole should be doing. We should stop this cheap labour coming in and incentivise things by cutting benefits and scrapping tax on low wage earners to get British people back to work. But we have to make sure there are jobs for them to do and that means closing our doors to cheap imported labour.

        To do that we have to take control of our borders and that means getting out of Europe as well.

          Wasn't the main reason that Labour gave, at least officially, that they contribute to the economy -

          Migrants are a drain on Britain, says Left think-tank
          Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are a drain on Britain and its economy, says a Left-leaning think-tank. Migrants from many developing nations fail to pay their way, while those from wealthy countries, such as the United States and Australia, provide a boost for the economy. The IPPR report by the found that fewer than half of Britain's 650,000 Somalis, Bangladeshi, Turks and Pakistanis, have jobs and the four communities have the highest levels of benefit dependency. (30.9.07)
          So house prices go up, British working and middle class families delay having children as they both have to work to pay the mortgage thus lowering the "indigenous" birth rate. While those on benefits - free from any financial constraints - are housed and funded by government to maintain an ever increasing birth rate with each subsequent generation consuming 3-5x the benefits total of the one before. Doesn't sound very "sustainable" to me. Along with the public sector pensions this is another timebomb to bankrupt the country regardless of the social cohesion impact.

          Don't they want Turkey to join the EU next? Genius.

                Too right.

                By the summer there were English Defence League "divisions" run by football supporters in Luton, north London, Bristol, Portsmouth and Southampton, Derby, Cardiff and the West Midlands.
                The 7/7 bombers set off from Luton. Luton is also supposed to be the Al Qaeda head quarters of Europe. Fun huh?

                Luton also has a large Muslim community in an area called Bury Park. I like to go down there and eat the grub. Loads and loads of sari shops, greengrocers, restaurants. I'm not being a liberal fence sitter, I do like to go down there. Others don't.

                One day I was having a kebab, eating in, and looked on the wall. There was a notice advertising a local meeting to discuss what I can only describe as topics inciting racial hatred. Didn't put me of my kebab though.

                There will always be nutters, extremists, crackpots. What keeps me going is thinking these people are in the minority. The majority of us are sane, placid hard working people.

                  However,

                  The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

                  He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
