The government stay in power by virtue of keeping large numbers off the population on benefit and dependent upon welfare. This of course has the effect of removing the availability of low cost labour and thus creating inflationary pressures on the economy. So immigration is their answer as it enables them to maintain their power base whilst overcoming the shortage of workers.
I have never understood why working is deemed to be so bad for people that so much money is spent in stopping people from work when so many researchers state that work leads to happiness and that work empowers people by giving them a sense of achievement and bestowing them with aspirations.
Remove welfare except for people with serious regressive health problems, enable workers to move more freely to where work is by encouraging the rental market. Dismantle worker protection laws, apply these rules accross Europe. Instead of immigrants we will have a a mobile work force that will enable companies and workers to move to where there is space rather than crowd London and the South East of England.

My first look at a thread on this site. what the hell has this got to do with contracting? However the text of this thread probably contains the highest ratio of cr*p/ascii character I've ever seen.

My first look at your question on this site shows what an ignorant, uneducated, blinkered arsehole you are.

But don't let this small fact stop you from being le coq du jour...

If you are looking for contracting information then go to the thread entitled 'Fruit Pastilles' - you'll find that one highly relevant.

I'd say nows a good time to invest in land then :-)

Even if the population decreases you get more sprawl. In Germany where the population decreases the local councils panic and build new estates, industrial parks to attract more people. Its all about power. The more people you have the more money you have. Every little village and hamlet aspires to be a big powerful London. Even here in Switzerland there's sprawl. When everybody has one house then they want two, or they want a new football stadium, industrial estate etc. Then there are the property developers; like here in Switzerland they just build and build and sell them to foreigners who appear once a year. I imagine in 200 or 300 years there won't be any green spaces in Europe left just derelict land in the cities.

British Telecom > "BT" (examine their website and pretend you're a 10 year old child, and your homework is to find out what the initials BT stand for)

See if you can spot any more!

British Petroleum?

Take a look at your breakdown of council tax... notice the increase in amounts required for council housing and council tax benefits?

Why do you think that is?

Take a trip to the London Passport Office if you want a real shock.

Try and spot a white face. The only ones I saw there turned out to be Australian.

New Lier are terrified that the economy will implode as that would signify their demise. For years people have been predicting the collapse of the housing market. Happily for NL that will not happen while we have unlimited immigration from Eastern Europe with new build unable to keep pace. So, the suspicious might conclude that New Lier promote unrestricted immigration to ensure that house prices continue to climb. Nooooo ... of course not .... noooo

Walking around the local Sainsbury's today, I heard not one English voice. Plenty of Polish, and some Urdu. Mind you, the local Polish bread is good. As is the Polish herbal tea.

When asked, most British people support tougher immigration controls. When told that it is a Tory policy, they change their minds.

Among friends/colleagues, the most supportive seem to be those of Asian/African ancestry.

Actually, maybe one of those designs 'British' Airways used for their tailfins before deciding it was a multi million pound mistake that had damaged its brand ...?

Or just a Jackson Pollock...? (Thats not rhyming slang, by the way)

God, what an utterly pathetic idea. Apart from anything else, if black stripes were added to the Union Jack then the many who (for any of lots of reasons) go on using the current union jack will simply make it seem like an even more visible indicator of potential racial disharmony.
