This is where the BNP (NF) are getting their foot in the door, they are playing up to everyone's frustration at the amount of freeloaders we have living in this country. Neither this country nor any other country will ever go back to 'jobs for the natives', the world has moved on, travel has become easier and there will always be a number of immigrants in any country in the world.
I believe that any 'foreigner' should be allowed to live here as long as they earn their keep, pay their taxes and obey the laws - and anyone else should be kicked out - simple!
I just wish that one of the major parties would wake up and smell the coffee and realise that the people of Britain are at breaking point over the immimgration issue, by not doing so they are playing straight into the hands of the BNP!

Great post. We are a mongrel race afterall.

Ordinarily, I dont care who does the work so long as there is enough to go round, however, at at time where 250000 British construction workers have lost their jobs in the last 12 months, yet over 22000 new NI numbers have been provided to addresses "a stone's throw" from the Olympic Village the balance doesn't seem quite right.

The BNP are like the RFL: they say one thing but mean something else entirely.

The BNP are not a respectable group of people with a genuine respect for democracy. They are the kind of people who seize power and throw children into crematorium ovens……











…...while still alive!


Vote them in and immigration will be the least of our problems.

I am always amazed when these threads appear how narrow minded people are. The British people have always welcomed immigrants to these shores, from the Huguenots in the 17th C. up to Ugandan Asians in the 1960s and 70s, and each of these peoples has brought a significant contribution to what is now the British nation.
However, when there are economic difficulties in a nation, extremist political parties will always highlight examples of immigrants receiving "preferential" treatment to try to justify their views and make them seem attractive to voters.
It has happened in Germany in the 30s, Nigeria in the 60s, the Balkans in the 90s and each time was followed by extreme violence and national shame.
We should welcome into our nation all those who want to work hard, and deal with those who don't on the same basis as a native.
The colour of someones skin, their native tongue or religious view is not an issue to me as long as they are decent people.
I am a devout atheist but I think one of the 10 commandments sums things up perfectly -
"DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU".

and thats why normally moderate folk are finding themselves drifting to the right.

BNP = Nasty racist scum, if the story about one of them gettng a hammer round the head is true, then I have no sympathy at all.

Democracy is one thing, but the BNP would remove that from anyone they think isn't "worth it". Fight fire with fire IMHO, and if you're willing to give a kicking then you must be willing to accept that you're going to take one eventually.
I've had enough run ins over the years to lesser or greater degrees to know whats underneath their respectable surface.

Picture the scene....

Tesco build a big supermarket in the town and in this wonderful multinational multicultural utopia in which we apparently live, decide to employ 500 migrants rather than folk from the local population.

Anyone who thinks that is acceptable needs to have a proper good look at themselves.

That won't happen though as Tesco have an agreement with Jobcentre Plus to ringfence a percentage of jobs for local claimants (not sure on the percentage but when the Haydock store was opened around 80-90 people that had been claiming landed jobs there).

So the answer is what ? everywhere i look during my lunch hour i see immigrants doing nothing only mooching about town.

I am seriously thinking of stopping working my 6 days a week and joining them, especially while summer just round the corner, personally it sickens me whats happening to our town.

The hysteria, prejudice and lack of understanding on this thread is insane. If you think the BNP are even half sensible take ten minutes to read their manifesto. If you still think they're sensible then your an idiot and a racist.

British jobs for British workers or Leigh jobs for Leigh workers is an idea that is illegal and wouldnt work. Why discriminate against immigrant workers. The best person should get the job. Immigrants make a net contribution of hundreds of millions of pounds to the British economy.

As for the disgraceful sinking of hundreds of asylum seekers in Australia, if you think thats right and not fascist then you should get your head examined
