I quite agree. The trendy well off middle class intellectuals who go to Brick Lane for a curry do not lose from immigrants competing for jobs and housing.

Is your ward in Vietnam?Originally posted by Lucifer BoxThe local Tories didn't really help themself by choosing one prospective councillor for my ward who looked like a serial child sex offender.

Sad to report that my ward as usual returned three up their own arse dickheads, the self-styled "Independent Residents Association" (independent in as much as they rarely turn up to council meetings and when they do they vote Labour). Still, it went from Labour control to no overall control with Tories having the highest number of seats so not all is lost. Just infuriating that were it not for those "independents" it would have been a firm Tory gain for the first time in 16 years.

I am indeed trawling North America for some engineers and have a few interviews on the go. It does take a long time though and it is also a fiddly process. However if we can get it right it will be a case of "this time next year Alf boy we'll be millionaires" 
Very Good.
I have no doubt that given your considerable business acumen you will prosper.
The very Best Of British Luck !

hardship? share? As in "Hi we're british, is this India? Can we share it with you?" Amazing how it all boils down to immigration. How would we get around London without immigrants? The locals don't seem interested in driving buses..they'd rather play lotto and move to Spain should they win.Originally posted by DodgyAgentPeople like BNP prosper in times of extreme hardship. What the "never had it so good" brigade fail to realise is that nothing stands still. Just because times are good they are not good for everyone. The immigration problems are always dumped upon the poor, it is they who have to share their housing estates, schools and hospitals with immigrants NOT the socialists who's policies encourage them to come here.

But yesterday Benn0 said we were living in a socialist utopia full of happy and contented citizens who've "never had it so good". Do you think he might be wrong?

But it is a dangerous course to take. The BNP must be appealing more and more to voters as they have grown from a regional party to a national one. I suspect many of those who voted for them yesterday may continue to vote in following elections - as they grow some fondness for their "policies".

Have you got tomorrow's winning lottery numbers
Should be a piece of cake for someone who knows why people vote the way they do.Originally posted by DodgyAgentPeople are not voting for BNP because of their policies, they are voting for them to send a message to labour. Labour are totally incompetent and they have ignored their grass roots supporters in order to gain favour with the rich and powerful.. Prescott is the embodiment of a socialist who gives not a jot for the people he pretends to represent, he is a fat chippy little prat who is drunk on power.
The difference between the Tories and the socialists is that the Tories have traditionally espoused the virtues of self interest. The socialists on the other hand call this selfish whilst at the same time pursuing their own path to power and riches.
In other words, how do you know it's a protest vote for the BNP? Because Tony says it is? Because the BBC says it is? Because we wouldn't like to think that (gulp) there might be some increasing racism in the country - surely not?
