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.

Victim,

A minority of "immigrants" depend on "handouts" from the state. The majority contribute to the wealth of the UK.

But continue smear as much as you seem to enjoy.

Hang them all.

I doubt it very much , maybe Dave should tell us what it costs .

fred - what you say is at least partially true
however, it is undisputed (except perhaps by you) that the uk benefit system is very generous, so there is no doubt that it is at least one (major?) reason why uk is the destination of choice for migrants of all sorts
i confess i'm not convinced that withdrawing benefits for 4 years or whatever would make a significant difference, though it might if it included refusing access to NHS and housing

£30million a year?????

Will Fred be voting in the EU referendum . And why has TANKERS spelling improved now that he is using lower case ?

I did notice that myself aldwikk , it;s a strange transition , maybe with capitals there's a red mist that takes over .

68108 - i read that too .... confess i was amazed it was so little, so i wonder which bits are omitted? ....... for sure it's not the true picture - eg free nhs treatment? obligation of councils to find/supply housing in certain circumstances?

Is there a problem with Tankers spelling? I thought it was me.
Strange bedfellows when you have Cameron being supported by the SNP, Clegg (he that has dreams of a cushy Commission job one day), the scarecrow who says he is leader of the trade union party, Obummer and the mad green goblins.
His attack on Boris was a mistake given that Boris appeared inclined to only give moral support to the Out campaign. He must be mad as a hornet now.

when is any one going to give out the figures that migrants either benefit the uk
are cost the uk on services housing schools in work benefits
if the avge is between 6k and 10k which the pm gave out in the commons is true
then migrants are costing the uk billions and their employers are the only winners

surely some mps must have the figures yet no one as put them out

my mp as just e mailed me to say a letter is on its way about the health cover in the eu so will see what she says

i smiled wrily to hear that the pakistani community in bradford or thereabouts are hopping mad about the number of east european migrants coming into the area

one of the major problems with eu migrants from the bankrupt countries is that they will work for peanuts - more than they'ld earn at home of course - in jobs that young brits either don't want or won't take
i'll use my fave hobby horse of courier drivers as an example

in addition of course there is the strain that these (so many) migrants put on our basic infrastructure of housing, schools, health etc

Oh dear, Fred is having trouble posting one of his silly cartoons

Yes cynic but over the years this could turn to hatred , gang type warfare and general disorder , but we are not supposed to think like that are we . The EU is not thinking at all they are pushing people into a corner and the effects of that we don't know .

The present tories have been fragmenting the UK society for the last 5years.

Big biz all for €uropa?



EU referendum: Business advisers to David Cameron and major UK companies decline to sign pro-EU letter - live

freedom of movement has been a cornerstone of the eu since it was the eec, but of course they now have a tiger by the tail as ever more bankrupt countries are allowed to join

however, it is almost certainly true that if the uk wants to be treated as a preferential partner from outside eu, then we shall not be able to close the borders and cherry-pick ....... certainly norway has found this out, and i think others too

How many countries outside €uropa go along (for example) with the working time directive?

It seems to me also ( maybe wrongly ) that if the members of previous entry into the UK start feeling threatened by this invasion , they will tend to want out of EU. Just a guess .
