  • I do accept that immigrant workers can and do perform a useful function while in the UK, but the rate at which they're coming in is simply too high. I would reduce the number coming in and give more of these jobs to UK-born people, so many of whom are disillusioned and angry at the lack of opportunities to better themselves.

  • yes immigration should only be used to fill skill-gaps, not on the ridiculous scale it is now.

  • vaz is a first class wanker

  • Gerard did very well against the usual BBC bias.

  • Vaz was another dodgy MP caught up in the expenses scandal.

  • @silverhammer9 I completely agree, there has to be a balance. Am not BNP but I do think that take care of your poor and homeless first, create jobs for British and English citizens and then decide on the numbers of people coming into the country.

  • Gerard is a legend; I've spoken to him many times and he's a really nice and thoroughly intellectual guy.

    Kieth Vaz makes me cringe.

  • Agreed. Why have all newly created jobs (numerically) for the past four years or so gone to immigrants when we've had EIGHT MILLION economically inactive people here all along? They're shaking us up for our eventual dispossession to the EU. All government hard talk about immigration is mere cynical placation.

  • Batten > Vaz

  • It's quite ironic that Vaz seems to think everything is wonderful but then in the same breath utters about how over half his constituency is going to be from outside of the country. Personally I find that frightening, primarily because he seems to think thats normal or acceptable to the existing people living in Leicester/UK.

  • We don't need any immigration, we need the government to actually tackle the problems in society not use a quick fix like mass immigration. What happens when these people have children? Those children don't want to do the same low level jobs as their parents, they want to better themselves & who blames them?. Of course this then means we are back to square one needing yet more people to fill empty positions... it solves nothing!
