ARE THERE TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS IN THE UK?

ISSUE: Cameron speaking on immigration

Tuesday October 30,2007

MINISTERS faced fury over Britain’s immigration chaos last night after admitting it got its sums wrong over the number of foreign workers coming here – by 300,000.

In an embarrassing admission, the Government said the true number of foreign nationals who have entered the UK to work since it came to power a decade ago was actually 1.1 million.

Until yesterday it had always claimed it was 800,000.

Foreign nationals now account for seven to eight per cent of the 29.1 million people who in work in Britain.

The revelation came hours after David Cameron, pictured right, waded into the immigration issue, saying he wanted to cut the net gain of 200,000 migrants a year “substantially”.

Has Labour completely lost the plot on immigration? What are YOUR thoughts on immigration? Did you agree or disagree with Conservative leader David Cameron's speech yesterday?

THE RETURN OF MADELEINE

16.11.07, 8:52am

For Madeleine
---------
Unfaltering belief in your return is deep within.
The presence of strength is within my heart
I feel you alive but waiting for your return to familiarity
I sense there is no call for sorrow or heartache
as your presence is with us still.
Those who have you, protect you now
abductor who has taken you no longer holds you.
Corruption made to make the whole world suffer
in your departing.
Times are moving and the truth is emerging into light
rainbow colours glow through grey mists of deceit and lies
Your coming into this world set the theme for your leavng and your pathway was turned by those who are in higher position to twist the knife of cruelty into the hearts of all who care.
Your returning is a happy event in future time at hand
Where dark shadows are lifted in truth and the light of a shining star shall shine in brilliance once again.

ministers should come and live in Hayes, middx for a few weeks to see if there are to many immigrants in the uk, i find it hard to have a conversation with anyone that speaks English, im isolated living amongst immigrants who spit on the floor, hang washing on the street hedges, dump waste were ever they want to, hang around in all male groups in the town centre next to the cash points and intimdate young girls and women, have no respect for local amienities such as parks, funnily enough im due to appear in court in January as witness to an incident where a asian woman asked a somalian woman if she could move her car as she was blocking her in, the solmalian told her to f*** off drew back a mouthful of phelm and spat in the womans face, this ministers is some of the immigrants being given state housing, income support etc and i have to live amongst this filth daily. i cant sell my home no-one wants to live here so im stuck in this hell hole.
