Pick the bones out of Danny Dyer's Dealiest Men and get back to us  

The system is not good enough, but that is the same in other European countries, in fact, back in my old country it's worse because the borders are open and mass immigration is a major headache on the one hand, but a God send on the other. After all, millions of British people emmigrate too.
PS. zazz, I love that rabbit.

It's a bit late to be worrying about immigration isn't it? Has anyone been to Hounslow lately?

Gone to the dogs?

Hey prom, where have you been?

Hi col, here there and everywhere. Someone should make a song out of that 

Camden Town is a good place to see a multi-cultural society in all it's glory. You can get good fake passports in Camden Town.

What's a Lithuanian going for?

I've had it here  

Ah! That old chestnut.

I think it's fair to say that some people only come over here to try and start a new life, and a better life than they can get in their country of origin, and it's true that people from here actually do go to work and live overseas, so I guess it's only fair that we give immigrants a chance.  But in the really bad economic state that the UK is in, we do have to be a bit more strict on the amount of people we're allowing in.  The country can only take so many people and we're already pretty over-populated over here.  So yes, I think we do need to curb it somewhat.

I agree with some of your points, Sparkles. And don't forget there are UK born and bred citizens who are in the fashion of a bit of tax evasion, shoplifting and benefit fraud, all of which damage the economy too.

Well said Karma.    There are of course the scrounging piss-taking immigrants, but plenty of scrounging piss taking British born people too.  And there are plenty of immigrants who bring a lot to this country.  But as most here have said, I think immigration needs to slow down a bit.  At least for a while...

Boarder controls do need to be sorted out, this country lets everyone in and ask questions later which is a plesant way to be but it doesnt work lol

Don't know how they could change it without being out of order to genuine people coming to this country though............

Entry to Eton is rampantly out of control, it must be said.

Entry into Eton has always been out of our control.

The immigration system is a complete shambles, that much is true.
And Prom - quite a few of my family live in Hounslow and around that area!

This country do not let anyone in....only recently an internet 'friend' of a relative was kept at Heathrow at immigration overnight and put back on the plane to the US the next morning...she never even got to see him (but that's a whole other story)

It might be a complete mess, but maybe the authorities are too busy locking kids up in Detention Centres.

This is an extract from a Channel 4 documentary about kids we lock up, whilst trying to deport them and their families back to countries where they will be persecuted, arrested, tortured and possibly killed. This child was from Iran, where his mother and sister were wanted for having copies of the Satanic Verses.

One of the other stories was about a 15 year old girl from Uganda, who had watched her family being killed, after her mother was forced to watch her being gang raped by police. She was sent back, having escaped to the UK, and had been arrested and tortured, before escaping again. The authorities here did not believe her story, or her young age, despite her body being covered in signs of torture and beatings.
