"For every professional woman who is able to go out to work because she has a Polish nanny, there is a young mother who watches her child struggle in a classroom where a harassed teacher faces too many children with too many languages between them.

"Wanting a better deal for her child doesn't make her antiimmigrant. But if we can't find a better answer to her despair then she soon will be.

"fair treatment" should not be reserved for ethnic minorities.

"We need to do more for young white men who are having to compete with clever Polish graduates,"

The reaction had been to close down mainstream political debate on migration for fear of being labelled a racist.

Warning of increasing segregation caused by poor communication across racial or religious lines.

The Government's "lack of control" over immigration risks inflaming tension.

I watched a programme last night about immigration and one contributor said "we have a generation of people who are unemployable abroad. They come from families were nobody has worked in over 20 years" bl00dy Norman Tebbitt said that! What a cheek!
The Poles are Christian, white and like a pint they should fit right in.
In terms of all the different languages it's often better to just let the kids cope, when my ex started school she did'nt speak a word of English within 6 months she was fluent.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's the local white people (sadly) I see wrecking the place and causing trouble (I've just this minute had words with some fcuking w@nker in a Focus) deal with them first or else continue scratching were it does'nt seriously itch.
P.S. My future wife is Chinese, she can speak 3 languages and write in 2, she works as a cashier, does'nt drink, does'nt smoke, does'nt swear, does'nt walk around with her knickers hanging out, does'nt pick fights with strangers, does'nt spit, can cook, clean, iron, get up in the morning. she is every inch a lady and yet she calls herself a common woman, no university education etc.just a normal workaday girl.
In fact you go to any other country I can think of and you don't see the bother I see here.
I dunno why they wanna come?

child tax credit,benefits ????????????????????????
The other week a Polish woman got on my bus with her daughter, her daughter was about 14 and she spoke very poor English but what she did know was the word please, I struggle to get adults never mind children to use that word.
Britain is a good country to work in(?) but not to live in.
If I was from a foreign land I might come here to work for a few years but I'd be longing to go home, and soon.
The bone of contention I have with this post is that it's speculating that immigration is the cause of our woes, when it's not.
Quasi secular liberal militancy is the main cause aided and abetted by middle class liberal elites (on all parties) passing laws on their various pecadiloes (smoking bans, congestion charges etc) ignoring the fact that the electorate are fed up of "low level" crime blighting their lives and wrecking their property.
I see Poles (girls 21/22 years old) going to work at 0530 in all weathers they've travelled 100s of miles to do that. I see local men(?) waltzing round at 0900 with a can of lager don't wanna pay their fare.
Give the the working immigrants the tax benefits due to them from WORKING and take the benefits off the ar5eholes who won't. That'll fix em.
( Give the the working immigrants the tax benefits due to them from WORKING and take the benefits off the ar5eholes who won't. That'll fix em. )
does that include the young women that have many children with different dads and have never done a days work in there life
Yes.
I'd like to bring in new qualifications for child and tax benefits to give it it's simple terms I'd call it the ring comes first.
I deal with these deadbeats most every day, the 1 thing they all have in common is that they all seem desparately unhappy.
And before you go on about how the children will suffer, they already are in my experience most of the money intended for the child gets spent on ciggies etc.
( And before you go on about how the children will suffer, they already are in my experience most of the money intended for the child gets spent on ciggies etc. i agree 100per cent with that .
We live in a global economy now. Other countries have realised that. But we haven't.

When you leave school you're now competing for jobs not just with people in your town or with people in your country but with people all over the world.

Conversely, the available jobs aren't just the ones offered in your town or country but the millions of opportunities across the world. There may be better prospects for plumbers in Germany. An accountant might find that their perfect job is in Paris or New York or Tokyo.

You can't really begrudge someone who's wised up to the realities of the modern world and been prepared to get off their ar*e and come here to look for work - just because we don't do the same.

But if you are determined to stay local, then equip yourself for the competition. Make sure that you're better trained, harder working, and more competitively priced. And you'll do fine.

It's a cultural thing and perfectly understandable. But we'd do well to get over our mental block. The fact is, with greater co-operation between nations, fewer wars, cheaper and quicker travel, and instant global communication, the world is getting smaller. It's a global village. Open your minds and don't fear change. You might enjoy it.
I can not agree more with what Everton 123 and Quinlad have said. 100% true. People get offended when someone like me who himself is from another country says things like this but it is true that local people here (not all of course but a good number) are more dependant on benefits than the outsiders. All they need someone to work for them so they can buy their booze and cigies. And then they blame immigrants for taking their jobs. Girls give birth to children with the help of any passer by because govt will pay to raise them.

It is a global thing, even within a country I have seen people going from one city to another to do the jobs which people in that city thought a bit too inferior for their likes. People have to employ someone who does the job and does it better and happily. They do not care who you are and where you are from. Only thing which needs to be sorted out in this country is the benefit system.

The problem under discussion is is not that the world is getting smaller, but the fact that this country is getting smaller, and I don't think anyone with any sense might enjoy this.

If some would address the real problems that even Trevor Phillips is concerned with, instead of trying to sweep these matters under the carpet, we would be a little nearer to solving the problem until it is too late, unless of course it already is.

Whereas I totally agree that we have many things wrong in this country, i.e Too many on benefits when they are perfectly able to work, the problem of women having kids after kids and then expecting the state to look after them, and of course our problem of teen-aged pregnancies. I only wish some would address the item posted, and not branch off at tangents.
