    I have an insight into benefits applicants and those seeking employment. Immigrants don’t have a monopoly on claiming benefits and being work shy

    That is not the point, the point is immigrants in their tens of thousands coming over and sponging. They are not wanted, as for integrating, don't make me laugh.

    Feel we may well have to agree to disagree on a number of these points

    I think you need to insert the word “illegal” I’m not anti immigration as long as they are bringing something to the country in a positive way but I do agree the spongers need to be stopped whether they’re immigrants or British :emoticon-0148-yes:

    You can't get more integrated than getting elected Mayor of the capital city 3 times.

    Over a million migrants claiming Universal Credit would suggest something is going wrong. They are not all doctors and engineers. We have enough of our own who could deliver pizzas for a living.

    Having said that, the migrant who works in the hospital laundry on minimum wage and tops up his income with UC is worth more than Darren who spends his dole on vapes, scratchcards and cider.

    Fact is, hospitals, housing, schools, prisons and the welfare state are all gummed up, yet we allow hundreds of thousands to pour into the country unchecked.

    There are particular ethnic groups who have high levels of unemployment and benefits dependency, but the government does nothing to quell their migration. Its a free-for-all costing untold billions.

    Something has to give.

    All day long.

    An immigrant needing imprisonment should be deported and not allowed back.

    I cannot wait till a Muslim commits murder in London and listen to what he has to say about his people.

    The same goes for the excuse of a Home Secretary.

    Flying a flag in your own garden is one thing, but putting dozens of them up in public places is designed to inimidate.

    Does that include the flag of Palestine?

    No one tells the French or the Italians or the Aussies to take their myriad flags down, yet our flag is supposedly loaded with intimidation and fear and is something to be ashamed of.

    I bet most foreign folk aren't even bothered by our flag. It's likely a few do-gooders moaning and hand-wringing on their behalf.

    On a lighter note;

    The Conservative Party Conference has booked a Cub Scout Hall in Manchester this year as their venue, to save money.
    24 people have turned up so far - and 15 of them came along because they thought there was a jumble sale on <laugh>

    Khan with Sarah Hall and the grooming gangs for a start.
    I'll pull the clip out later.

    PS, I wonder why he'll not answer.

    Still 11 days until we play again :emoticon-0158-time:
    Can't see much point myself in continuing to go round in circles debating this latest current affairs topic, and unless there is a major development I doubt that I'll contribute further to it for the time being.
    But if other folks wish to continue to discuss it then no problem of course.

    Or to say enough is enough- the impression I get is a lot of the British public are fed up with the cost of living and then seeing how the illegals get a roof over their head , medical , dental check ups , etc etc
