Although many Brits have emigrated, new statistics say the birth rate has been boosted by young immigrants settling in our country and the fact that we are living longer. This is putting a cripling strain on our NHS, housing and education services. |

Seriously though, we have a similar problem here in the states. I know what my opinions are but this is a family friendly site and I'd better keep my lips tightly buttoned.lol. BTW, what's up with all of this incognito stuff? lol. |
