The threat of blowing all sky high would have been enough to solve that problem. Any how back to present day...

All this comes about because we are a member of a corrupt organisation known as the EU, they tell us to jump and we jump.

Uk is finished as long as we let big corporations and banks piss on us from on high.

Migrant Numbers 'Should Be Decided By People'

Britain should hold a referendum to decide how many EU migrants should be allowed to come to the UK, a leading MP has told Sky News.
The call was made by Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee

More political vote scaremongering.

A couple of Poles I know are going home as they had it...

Your country is in trouble and most of you will not do nothing about it.

I agree with his comment, nice guy...well both of them are.

I think the biggest problem is going to be housing, and that has little to do with immigration (although it is effected by it to be fair) and more to do with people wanting house prices to go through the roof so they can sell off their homes as a fund for retirement purposes...which in itself is understandable, however it's creating a bubble which will eventually burst in a very nasty fashion.

When initially considering retirement seriously for the first time about a year ago, the wife and I (well me mainly if I'm being honest) considered downsizing our home (no mortgage since four years ago) but my conscience prevented me on the grounds that this course of action would be of no benefit in financial terms to the kids inheritance.

Mind you, the way the economy is looking that decision may yet be subject to change...the boy has carved out his future career and the daughter we will wait and see considering she is in her last year of university.

The Mail/Express have been hiking up this as great news which left me thinking are they fools? I have now dismissed this in favour of Corporate controlled agenda and without question that gangster George Osbourne's right to buy a home scheme is nothing more than a ponzi scam.

All to easy too fool for the corporate agenda blame it all on the immigrants.

I think that is a bit of a red herring if I'm honest, hardly any of those I know (and I have met many Eastern Europeans) directly send the money home, they prefer to save it up in order to pay for university tuition fees back home which, when scaled vis a vis average wage, are about as expensive as those in our country. If you were to look at the top recipient countries for remittances you might be in for a bit of a surprise:

More money is sent home to France and Germany than it is to Poland or the Czech Republic.

Furthermore remittance payments, when they do occur, are a stable financial diet for the economy in uncertain economic times. The UK benefits from remittance payments from places like Dubai and the UAE, but the most money that goes out from the UK goes to India rather than the East of Europe.
