Question

hospitals schools prisons are all struggling, let alone housing. will our country go bang

Answer 1

Shoulda curbed it ages ago!! Labour tryin to get favouritism from other Eu countries! The w*nks. I live in Edinburgh and its shockin at how many immigrants are beggin on the streets and sellin the big issue!!! I think Edinburgh already has a problem with Scottish homeless people, nevermind havin to hand cash out to foreigners who cant get jobs coz thay aint bothered learning English!! Quite right tho they should be takin advantage of benefits!! F**k the Government for bein so goddam weak!!

Answer 2

I think we shold curb it. Not stop it altogether but close the "open door" and put a points system in place so that only those with needed skills and means of supporting themselves can come here.

The government needs to get our own people off the dole and into well paying jobs and homes before we start inviting others in.

Mrs_Grohl- you're lucky you were housed so quickly but that is not the case for everyone - thats an isolated incident. Are you a single woman with no dependents? Because its easy to get a one bed flat. If you're a family however you have no chance. Last year when my partner and I were nearly repossessed we were told we had NO CHANCE of getting housed as there is "no social housing available" and we'd be lucky to get a B&B or hostel then have to sort out our own private rent.

Answer 3

According to the Report of the Secretary-General on International migration and development, most migrants are in the high-income developed countries, 91 million in 2005. Low and lower-middle income countries, 64 percent in Oman. In Europe, only Luxembourg approaches this level, with 45% of the labor force foreign.

The European Union allows free migration between member states (with some restrictions on the so-called New Member States, or those which joined in 2004 and 2007). Most is from former eastern bloc states to the developed western European states, especially Italy, Spain, Germany and Britain. Noticeably, some countries seemed to be favoured by these new EU member nationals than others. For example, there are large numbers of Poles who have moved to the UK, Ireland and Netherlands, while Romanians have chosen Italy and Spain. While France and Germany put in place controls to curb Eastern European migration, the UK (along with Ireland) did not impose restrictions.

Answer 4

It would appear we have a problem here in the UK.

When the people of the country are struggling with services, it's time to plug the hole and say "that's enough". If the country can't cope with it's own, how can it keep letting new people in.

We need drastic measures and we need them NOW not in another 20 years.

Answer 5

We aren't full up. The SE of England a a few conurbations are uncomfortably full due to a lack of creativity in government in allowing free reign to developers who like people all squished in together to get prices up.

Schools,hospitals,prisons and the shortage of affordable housing are down poor government who always look for the cheapest option instead of the need.

Instead of further reducing immigration why not sanction racist rumour-mongers and those indigenous scroungers who never work?

Answer 6

We used to send prisoners to Australia, find another barren place, send all lifers away, then more room for immigrants or even better stop the immigrants coming over and still send prisoners away and we can claim back our streets

Answer 7

We would be in more trouble is all the Brits who have gone to settle in other people's countries decided to come back - of if their new 'host' country thought like you and decided to throw them out!. I would rather get rid of all those who don't, and some who never have, contribute/contributed in any way to this country, I would also get rid of all the agitators (there's you gone for a start redrose!), all those who are habitual criminals and all those who feel their colour/creed make them better than anyone else.
edit - oh yes and all the members of bnp - again you go redrose.

Answer 8

Proof of our housing not stuggling.

During the summer I had to be rehoused due to a relationship breakdown and I was rehoused by the housing association into my own flat within a month.

Our prisons have been full with British criminals for years and still are, our hospitals are pretty much the same.

Answer 9

I don't know much about the rest of the UK, but south-east England seems like it's just about full to me. ie; it takes about 90 mins to drive ten miles in London, there's nowhere to park, you can hardly ever get a seat on the train. Can anyone seriously look at this and think "hmm, what this place needs is more people" ?

Answer 10

Yes, this is a small island. So much extra housing is having to be built. Schools, doctors' surgeries and hospitals can't cope. Immigration control should be a lot more strict. My friends emigrated to New Zealand. It was really hard for them to get in, although they met all the criteria. Entry is based on a points system. You have to have work, money and be able to afford somewhere to live. Our government please take note!
