Hi marra,good to know you're still functioning on all cylinders!
I suppose my point is that Blair thought immigration would lead to economic growth,but he failed to factor in the vast numbers who would arrive and the pressure that would place on our services and infrastructure,not to mention communities. There was no partnership with the EU....we were taken for a ride.....and,as far as the French are concerned,still are. It's all very well to say we're grateful for workers arriving to fill the social need,if the reason for the increased social need is a direct result of the immigration numbers. I don't think there are many on here who would disagree with giving a home to people,from wherever, who are in genuine distress,but that's not what's happening. And, as much as you don't want to hear it...Farage can't be blamed for it...he's only at the forefront of the push back....however distasteful he is.
