There are UK employment agencies who recruit purely from the eastern block and they do it because some UK employers would rather pay them £6PH than having to pay a UK worker £8PH.

Its those same Employers who bang on about how good immigration is for this country, of course they would say that wouldn't they......

I'm very much against saying to people "you can't come here because your Polish"

What i think needs to happen is UK Employment should be restricted to Employees from within the UK, regaurdless of colour or creed.
If those from the eastern block want to come here first to then seek work from within the UK thats fine.
BUT, it should also be illegal for employers to hire immigrants (With less that one year residents already in the UK) in greater numbers than UK one year + residency, i think a fair number is 70/30.

The thing is while a lot of immigrants do contribute to then UK a lot of them also don't.
They come over in groups of 12 or so... and share a 3 bed house in a ghetto of such houses living on tinned food and spending nothing more than they need to survive, the rest of their earnings get sent back home.

Thats 12 UK jobs for people who would actually spend money in their local community.

I could go on all day....

Before I was undecided between UKIP and Tories, I've now decided to vote UKIP. Hopefully they win enough seats that the conservatives have to work with them. Still extremely worried about Labour/SNP coalition happening though, we will be seriously screwed if that happens.
 
I think I'm moving in the opposite direction as I get older. I used to be into politics and have always voted since I was allowed to, now I cannot be arsed at all.

I'm in between not going in to vote at all, or going in and drawing a big **** and balls on the ballot paper. The ironic thing is by doing so adds to the turnout and supports the current system :o

That is a completely separate issue that affects all pensioners, and which no government seems to want to touch.

If your argument about who we let in and how many is based purely on economics then you need to treat a migrant who has spent their entire working life in the UK paying tax the same as someone born here who has done the same.

My argument isn't that, I would say that future liabilities are entirely relevant to the discussion about who we should let into the country.

If the costs of keeping people in retirement is a larger proportion of tax take than the government would like, then preventing young people from other countries coming in to work and pay taxes is a bizarre position to take. It's an argument for looking at the entire system, not for saying 'poles get out'.

Still voting UKIP. I think it will be a UKIP\Con government.

Very unlikely that UKIP will have a significant number of MPs, way under 10 in my opinion. I think a Labour / SNP government is all but guaranteed, with a few Plaid and Green.

Nothing guaranteed in politics except that they are all the same as each other!!

Probably not much different from the rest of the uk?

I would be surprised if one took London and the South East which is what I originally meant to type and compared free land stats to the rest of the UK, there are vast swatches of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland not built upon which must skew that 8% figure considerably.

Only way that can work is to leave the EU first.
Legally the entire situation you are suggesting as a solution means the country would have to depart the EU.
 
There is zero chance of green belt or metropolitan open land being touched in London. I wouldn't even go there. Build outwards.
 
Okay interesting but green space is important, especially with you English getting flooded all over the place ;)
It is an interesting variance of figures, not surprising.

Clearly they can build, but infrastructure and planning on a massive scale is what is needed, not giving Taylor Wimpy the go ahead to erect 20k of the same homes in little lots of 50 and sell them on for large profits. Building right beside current urban sprawl isn't the way forward. Government departments should be devolved all around the country, to take any public sector stuff well out of London. It will stop houses being built for public employees, that they'll never own, and some chap comes along, buys it for profit, rents it to them, charging them per week, what they would pay per month in the rest of the country, to pay of his buy to let mortgage.

Again its a 15 20 25 year plan. Something politicians are incapable of.
