OK, I'll kick off tonights Political thread.....

I think deeper, even you may think I am mad Trev. There is a program called benefits britain life on the dole on the TV. It is about scroungers and layabouts, the other week it was about a Romanian Gypsy coming to the UK, the first shot of him was at his home in Romania, the second when he was saying I want 40k a year in benefits and Britian will give it to me.

This got me thinking, how did the BBC know about this guy? why did this guy devulge this on TV?Why did the BBC go over there to watch him come here?

a week later Cameron told the press he was clamping down on Benefit cheats and especially immigrants, I honestly believe the tory's paid for this program to con us to voting for them, I know, I know it sounds crazy but they are so low they will even stoop to this tactic to get our votes, they are scum, end of, scum.

They're still a single issue party, their solution to everything is to pull out of the EU. I'd rather not risk 4 million jobs thanks very much.
Now, before you play the "other countries are not members and manage to trade successfully with it" card. There is still a mountain of EU legislation that their companies have to comply with to enable them to have that trade so the cost to business is still there.
I'd rather be inside the tent ****ing out than outside it trying to **** in.
Reform not resignation

In what way? Bear in mind Labour massaged the unemployment figures by getting a load of people onto disability benefits when they were perfectly capable of working.Really? I know GPs were talking about charging for missed appointments to generate revenue for their practice, where thanks to Labour you can't get an appointment outside of office hours and often have to wait several weeks which puts unnecessary pressure on A&E, and they still moan that on around £100k they're given a raw deal, but that was rejected.

Rubbish, stuff and nonsence, total crap

Great point Mike. It's a convenient opportunity, give the masses someone to hate then I'll come up with a meaningless policy that will lull them into submission.
It didn't work with me though.

Nor me Trev, I personally think immigration is good for the country.

Just to liven things up:

the "benefits tourism" is a bit of a diversion - most come here know that can't claim much so they HAVE to get a job and to get a job they will work for less.

This allows the "brit" to stay at home as they can and do get benefits.....

Really??

Allowing 700K + people in when we haven't built enough houses for at least 35 years??

I really fear for my kids future - living in the South East they haven't got a hope in hell of buying a property, whereas when I was looking for a home, a reasonable job, a bit of saving and a little help from the parents did the job for me.

Yes Murdoch, because everyone loves sitting on their arse doing nothing and being skint don't they. Yet again, the amount of people happy to do this is miniscule but they are continually mentioned by certain members of the government to give people someone else to hate.

Yes really, I accept the opinion that we are a small country and nearly full, at 70 million and an Island only 900 miles long I can see this argument, but the figures we keep hearing and the fact all immigrants are scroungers do not convince me immigration is bad for the UK.

Obviously it needs to be controlled and I would like to see the figures of people leaving here as well as the figures of people coming here, it is all one sided.
