Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Also this was at a time when many people had a different view about foreigners than is allowed now , racism was commonly used in situation comedies for instance , so maybe not fair .

Yes that english teacher did accuse Nigel Farage of 'being right wing', but he didn't say that HE was a left wing rabble rouser, and that along with Farages classmates went out of their way to wind up the left wing teachers at the school....

No answer Hays ?

Here is a link to the actual letter

I've already explained how they obtain NI numbers.....

BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE IDIOT AND DECEIVER HAYSTACKS, HERE IT IS ONCE AGAIN..

THEY GO ALONG TO THE OFFICES OF BIG ISSUE ASK TO START SELLING THE MAGAZINE, SELL IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, GO BACK TO BIG ISSUE AND ASK THEM FOR PROOF(CONFIRMATION) THAT THEY'VE BEEN SELLING THE BIG ISSUE AS A SELF EMPLOYED PERSON, THEN GO TO THE OFFICES OF THE NI AND SHOW THEM THIS 'PROOF'.......

SIMPLES JUST LIKE YOU!!

Hays if you make a radical quote like that you should justify it ,or are a lot of us the lowest common denominator ?

There are no 'offices of the NI'. The job centre handles issuing NI numbers. It is quite clear from the details above that the proof you need is the right to work in the UK and has to be shown at your interview.

That letter proves absolutely nothing besides the fact that Nigel Farage was 17 and along with many others of his classmates would wind the left wing teachers up, I and many of my classmates did the same at that age...

As to "There are no offices of the NI"


I wasn't being specific idiot, where ever they go for the NI numbers...

Haystack you say you want out of the EU for whatever reason , I'd just like to know as you must confer with others , do many have your same thoughts on leaving or are you on your own in your circle .Now if there are a fair number who would want out why are they not listening to you and your like . Please answer.

Just to make the NI process clear, here is the big issue's own guidance and tells you that you will need a proof of identity interview at the job centre.

VIC it looks like Hays will make radical quotes and then shy away from them ,don't expect an answer.
At least most on here with any view will try and justify what they said and whether you agree or not that is fine.

Haystack loves Dave, and will not go against Dave's wishes.

What to expect at the 'Evidence of identity' interview

The interview will usually be one-to-one (unless, for example, you need an interpreter). You will be asked questions about why you need a National Insurance number, your background and circumstances.

You will also have to prove your identity. Bring as many 'identity documents' (originals, not photocopies) as you can to your interview. Examples of documents which count are:

valid passport (UK or foreign)
national identity card (UK or foreign)
residence permit or residence card including biometric immigration residency documents
full birth or adoption certificate
full marriage or civil partnership certificate
driving licence (UK or foreign)

Hays you have made yourself look rather stupid ,or do you now wish you had not called people the lowest common denominator ?

how do you then explain the huge difference between the official number of immigrants and the NI Numbers issued?

By and large, UKIP ARE the lowest common denominator. That is not to say that all the supporters are, just most of them.

There are a number of technical reasons for the NI number mismatches. I read a long list of them recently.

How do you explain the unemployment count versus the social security costs?

German Unemployment Unchanged as Migrants Bolster Workforce
March snaps run of five monthly declines in number out of work
Jobless rate remains at record-low level of 6.2 percent

German joblessness was unchanged in March, snapping a run of five consecutive declines, in a sign that Europe’s largest economy may be struggling to absorb a wave of refugees.

Europe's Refugee Crisis
The number of people out of work held at a seasonally adjusted 2.73 million, data from the Federal Labor Agency in Nuremberg showed on Thursday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted a decline of 6,000. The jobless rate stayed at a record-low 6.2 percent.
Germany admitted more than 1 million migrants in 2015 alone, increasing the pool of potential workers. While companies have been hiring, they’re simultaneously having to deal with a China-led slowdown in emerging markets that’s curbing exports and posing a risk to the euro area’s fragile recovery.
“For this year in general, we expect a rise in the unemployment figure due to the large inflow of refugees we have seen over the last year,” said Johannes Gareis, an economist at Natixis in Frankfurt. The refugees “can’t be integrated easily into the German labor market.”
