Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

If you build up a successful country then people from less prosperous countries will want to come and share the benefits. If you let them in, at what point do you set the limit? We already have too many immigrants now with insufficient housing and services so a sensible limit would seem to be lower that what it is now. On that basis we need an increase of zero.

A good candidate destination would be Canada. I have visited it many times when my parents lived there. Apart from a few clusters of population, it is mainly empty. It would be possible to absorb all the refugees, economic immigrants in the world. We could send the 2m refugees in Jordan, the 2m in Lebanon, all the refugees in Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Lybia and all the economic migrants from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Africa, Eastern Europe. There is plenty of room there for all of them.

It is said that standing close together, you could put the whole world population onto an area a bit bigger than the Isle of Wight. Canada could take all of the above groups and still be empty.

Dilbert,

You're right. My niece is dating a chap from Swansea. I'd probably make him exempt. :o)

will10,

And in that same class of 8 year olds, there was a spotty, fat kid with glasses that nobody liked. The rest of the class used to nick his sweets and dangle him upside down over the toilet till he cried.

Please tell me you weren't that kid...

Hays. Good man just keep head down someone else can do our bit.
No. Hilary I was the poor kid.

Just asking.

Are you a tax exile?

Ps. why don't you set up a campsite for immigrants in Austria.

You could be the commandant and have JB and the Tinker as your deputies.

Soon sort out the immigration problems?

My work is done here. Off now. Just heard that new labour bloke has won. He can sort the Middle East out he is best buddies with a few of those head cases. I blame Tony Blair for all this he started it off and then spent the last few years as middle east peace envoy. Another fine mess then Tony. The smart Miliband brother has been in charge of some US international charity. Looks like he cocked up too. Politicians you just got to love them.
Remember don't walk by when your brother needs help.

I thought the Canners had more staying power.

8-)

Good luck.

Don't go will, I'm filling up. So much wisdom mate :0)

Is this 'Ikea desk' and 'Dual monitor stand' of any use to anyone:

Jimmyb At no point have I called for mass immigration. There is current nett migration into UK of 300k + many are students, many in jobs and a good few in the nhs. I was arguing for the uk to take a share of refugees, and stated that 100k a year would be no problem.
In to order to have a meaning full discussion when you say mass immigration put a number on it?

Jimb. I said 600k+ migrants welcomed into UK last year. Hays says 5k+ were refugees from syria. I said UK should step up. An additional 100k refugees could be taken in. That's a total of 700k+. Where's the problem?
=================================

will10 remember what you write :)

No chance!

Dilbert,

lol your having a laff , they all gypo's in Swansea and live in caravans , immigrants would soon sod off back home if you made them live there :-)

LOL Dil, just knew that was coming.

JB,

You are making the associations, not me.

But reflect back to the 30s in Germany and the "atmosphere" on the streets there during that period and the consequences of "public" rallies.

Perhaps, Germany has learnt something.

CC,

I'm surprised it took him so long. :o)

French consul caught selling dinghies to illegal immigrants.....another thing is all you need is one of the european countries giving passports to these people on the sly and they have the freedom of european travel wherever they wish to go....

Hooray!

Some are frightened of their past shadows!

Fred , are you going on the London march today in support of Refugees welcome here
