    Now that the cause of your outrage has been removed, you can get back to all the other causes of outrage you've managed to drag in to it for no very good reason
    Yup we now have the new outrage.

In front of the BBCs cameras. Reporters comment was that 'feeling's are running high here'. Best TV for ages.
    Heard lots of neighbours complaining on other media outlets. One was extremely p*ssed off that they were actually on his fence not the house they were intended to be on and said he was going to cut them all down.

    It's the culture of booze, drugs and violence that ensure a life expectancy of mid-50s in some areas, which is worse than parts of Africa.
    And let's not mention the murder rate - 5 times London, was it?
    Is it because of the hordes of Fenians? 17% of the population yet make up 26% of the prison population.
    Almsot as bad as Afro Caribbeans.
    I never had to grow up knowing my father was made bankrupt.

    they won't do members of the travelling community for that , they watch them dump it 30 foot high including human waste then the council pays to clean it up or force the landowner to pay.

    Heaven help you if you drop sausage roll crumbs in the high street.

    Well, they managed to get immigrants into it (did they manage to get benefits in?) but failed on house prices and cancer.

    nice try! Not all are solely under their own steam. I would use recruited abroad as the workers are just doing what is best for themselves and its all legal.

    I do believe we are failing to manage immigration overall properly but that is hardly the fault of the migrants themselves. If you lived in an country with no work, safety or expensive healthcare and could be imported into the UK legally why shouldn't you? I would if I had to.

    Its the job of the government to manage that and make sure there are enough housing, jobs & services so no one suffers. They don't and this breeds resentment, I worry this will cause the far right to rise and we will end up with more unpleasantness.
