    Voter Imports

    I think New Labours plan is simple , when you think that your not going to get voted in at the next election then import people who are more likely to vote for you.

    Easy really

    This will raise the population density so you can be happy in the knowledge that there is a theoretical limit to their plan , unless you take the tube everyday that is where London Underground dont understand this concept

    Also Polish people have only been able to vote for the last 20 years so its a new concept to them and the novelty has not worn off.

    I live in a shared house and the landlord moved a random polish guy in the other week... this guy has quit his job in poland (some sort of manufacturing job making microwaves, tvs etc) and basically thrown some stuff in his car and turned up in the UK to get a job so he can move his wife and kids over.

    He's now discovering that we don't have much of a manufacturing industry in this country anymore and he's not able to get a job. He turned to me the other day and said he couldn't believe it, "back in poland" he could get a job very easily... then why the hell is he over here?!?!!!!!!

    so basically he's done NO research whatsoever and from conversations I've had with him he has no (or very little) knowledge of english culture or society.

    and aside from all that.. I wish he'd flippin clean up his dishes in the kitchen!!!!

    I've heard there are great tracts of Poland that are now uninhabited. Time to head East.

    I heard that Ireland have gained 100,000 Eastern Europeans in recent years, which when you think about it, equates to the UK getting more than 1 million. Someone said the Irish were not happy but they can do nothing about it. Serves 'em right for exporting pikeys.

    I just cannot understand the inability of opposition parties to address a real issue i.e. massively increased immigration and the effects. Not even a discussion. It is as if the PC atmosphere prevents any criticism of ethnic groups.

    I think the problem with the Chameleon advert is that like the evil eyes one it focusses on personality rather than substance. This does suggest that they cannot find something substantial to attack him on.

    I've noticed the sudden influx of east Europeans too. For example, there are several Polish service workers at my current gig in Reading, and a group of polish farm-hands started using my local village pub in Bucks. Sign of the times I suppose.

    Remember what Jack Straw told us though - after EU expansion there will only be seven thousand people coming to the UK from eastern Europe.

    Watching TV

    I was flicking between channels last night and all I could see was shows about people f3cking off from the UK to Portugal/France etc

    I was driving near Harlesden in London yesterday and I saw an old church that had been converted into a Mosque, not as big as the Al Hambra but still, I found it quite significant.

    I was walking with my fiance in the the centre of London the other day and she pointed out this one gent who was merrily relaying the details of his credit card fraud activities in Russian. He finished off by saying, "These English, they are so stupid". Nice. I wonder what visa he is here on? Work Training Scheme?

    I jump in the tube at Notting Hill and pick up on two ladies talking (Yet again in Russian) and I jumped out in the East End and the first language I heard when got out of the tube was Polish.

    I was in Epping (In Essex) the other day and when I got out of the tube the first language I heard was Polish so its possible its not just Central London.

    This country is changing very fast people.

    Old Big Ears Clarke was representing "new" liebour and true to form reeled off vast reams of statistics to support their failing policies. Fortunately the audience were not that impressed and never seemed to applaud him.

    Also glad to say that the negative Dave The Chameleon campaign was not appreciated by the audience at all and it appears to have backfired as people are beginning to see it as a rather cool character - a collectable even.

    Expect Cameron to have one on his election campaign shortly.

    The BBC do not seem to like the words: uncontrolled, immigration, political correctness and BNP mentioned in the same sentence.

    Citizen, please report to your local NuLab re-education centre. All will become clear and you will be at peace afterwards.

  • Oh dear : Watching Question Time is SOO depressing...

    Gawd... they raise the '8 out of 10 would consider voting for the BNP' story (as highlighted by a nu labour mp and subsequently reported by the BBC - I would PRESUME they did some background research....?)

    ... and yet seemingly the BBC manage to find an entire audience that thinks the exact opposite (of course) ... when they decide to discuss the story they themselves publicised...

    Reminds me of the expose that the BBC went to local mosques to find audience members to attend 'Question Time' immediately after the attack on the World Trade Center, with the American Ambassador nearly breaking into tears faced with muslim women shouting abuse at him three days after the deaths of 3,000+ of his people.

    How odd the UK has become. I see what I see in day to day life then I watch TV and the result of elections, and the two simply do not match.....

Working...
