The Mail on Sunday was just one of the 4 sources.

How so - the Guardian just quotes the Mail, the Mail does it's usual (Hysterical), the FT states (Fairly) that local authorities are worried because the governments innacurate immigration figures could leave them short of cash and the Telegraph I'd consider almost as hysterical as the Mail but either way that article is an opinion piece, not to mention it has no reference to the topic you're discussing - the leaked memo.Originally posted by BobTheCrate
The leaked memo is a worse case scenario and could well be valid, I dunno but it's a complex issue with benefits as well as negatives. I read your first two quotes, both referencing the Mail and wrongly assumed the other two referenced the same thing, my mistake.
Either way - did you spend a few hours trawling through every paper so you could get a few choice articles on immigration so you could bring us this message of Armagedon?
Based on this trawling you say immigration is 'fast soaring' to be the No1 concern for the electorate - righty ho. Whatever you say.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Snaw, if the contracting ever dries up, there's a good job awaiting you at New Lie towers in their Psyops dept.

Nah, unlike those tw@ts I have some principles. I'm not even saying it's not an issue, I just prefer to be a little more balanced and objective on it and I find the Mail to be anything but. I got that bit wrong cause it wasn't all quotes by the mail, but reading the ones he linked didn't really inform me any further beyond the fact that increasing immigration might put an extra strain on our resources, well feck me, I would never have figured that one out ...Originally posted by DimPrawnHang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

What are your principals Snaw? And how do you know that any one section of the media is any more biased than another. I agree that the Mail is a right wing paper but how do you know that their reporting is less accurate in this instance than the BBC (very pro Bliar and co IMHO). What would you say is a balanced view of the immigration issue?Originally posted by snawComment

The Government publically does nothing but praise to the sky the benefits of immigration. These articles provide the balance you claim you want. Rather than the same New Lie spin all the time that only states what it believes to be the benefits and never mentioning, let alone acknowledging the disadvantages.Originally posted by snaw

Clearly there is a demand for their labour. If I look around my office the majority of the cleaning and security staff are immigrants.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

And that's a good thing
And I hope these immigrants are paying tax, after all someone's got to pay dole money for the indigienous population who won't take on these low-paid jobs for which we need to import migrant labour. Err, hang on, shome mishtake shirley?Originally posted by BagpussWhy not?Comment
