[critique1989]

First off i would like to distance myself from the usual BNP line that culture etc etc is intrinsicly ingrained in "race"

The mainstream arguments that immigrants are NEEDED to do the jobs that british wont is flawed.migrantsCREATE vacancies because an expansion of the economy results from their needs. Aside from being incredibly patronising to working class English people (often stereotyped as ignorant and workshy) this economic argument simply does not stand up.

[DrZenith]

Polish migrant workers who come to work (and often return to Poland later) are not a problem. They're European, and share our cultural values. What IS a problem is large-scale settlement by people who come to live permanently and who do NOT integrate into British society, forming ghettos, with little or no contact with native Brits and with no conception of or sympathy with, our values. This kind of immigration is harmful and damages social cohesion.

[rudeboy80]

Of course immigrants do jobs english people won't - that's because they pay about 5 pounds an hour which is barely enough to support a single person let alone a family. The PC brigade who run this country have to stop screwing their own people. Raise the minimum wage so that people can earn enough money to live, and stop giving all the jobs to immigrants. Until this happens, I will be voting BNP.

Andrew Green should be prime minister.He speaks the truth and is a sensible chap.

[popred1]

Bring back passport exit cheks NOW!

[tuftytoes]

It makes you wonder why Labour did away with them. It was one of the first things they did when they came to power in 1997.

[topmanfjc]

Good. Andrew Green realises bogus asylum seekers should be removed wherever they are from. Even the govenment can't dispute his statistics because he uses government statistics as the basis for his arguments.

[hamaada2007]

this all started wen Sir Andrew was a director of an arms company with links to Saudi Arabia. An arms contract was under negotiation and the contract was thought to be under threat if the British government failed to deport the dissident(a saudi asylum seeker). so he started his obssesesion regarding immigration

[hamaada2007]

this Andrew is a hypocrite his so called Migration watch research group issued a report stating that the net gain to the British economy of immigration amounted to only 4 p per week per person causing public outcry while his own migrationwatch consultant Professor David Coleman wrote an article mentioning the net gain of migration to the British economy stands at 50 pence per week per person, over twelve times higher than Andrew Green bogus research estimate.

[unifiedmind]

Immigration on such an enormous scale will destablise and errode the infrastructure of Britain to the point of collapse. Everything that the fighting men of Britain secured for future generations is being lost in the nightmare of the European Union. This country, and it`s people, have been betrayed.

[gary8814]

A white nation that permits millions of third-world immigrants into its nation will itself become a third-world nation.
