    If it's the latter, that doesn't imply it's because their foreigners... that kind of rapid population growth is a strain.

    Around here it was crap for a while but things a really becoming quite positive. Lots of new restaurants and businesses moving it. Some tidying to do and got to get parking sorted..as there is now. The area just wasn't designed for each house to have three cars.

    Well, fake asylum seekers may also get settled somewhere while their status is sorted out.

    But fair enough - I was harking back to the times before you could get a plumber, when the great immigration crisis was asylum seekers.

    Fair enough but why is it crap when it appears to be largely true?

    You didn't answer the important question though, Why is it bigoted to confirm that Labour's immigration for votes policies worked?

    Why is it bigoted to investigate or even confirm that Labour's immigration for votes policies actually worked? And before you answer, remember that Labour admitted their policies recently, even after denying them for years.
