Kevin takes Gold! Can you believe it? Apparently Asian women account for 60% of births currently!! Shouldn't the alarm bells be ringing on immigration as never before?

Labour and many on the left see no problem whatsoever.I think they are desperate to let in Turkey to the EU as well so that millions of Turks can come here despite there being little work and millions unemployed.Culture, history and traditions of our ancestors are swept away in a generation.I live in Leicester and the majority of people I see walking into town are now foreign. However I dont see much  integration. When India won a cricket tournament parts of Leicester were actually closed down with celebrating young asians driving around in cars with flags yet they wont turn up to support their local county side as they wont support anything English!

I have never understood immigrants who move to a new country and then do everything in their power to isolate themselves from the local customs and re-create their home land.

Not only this, but many them seem to even hate their new home land and vociferously claim that hatred in their words and sometimes even their actions. What the h*** is all of that about?

If you've been blessed with the gift of citizenship to Britain or the United States then embrace the culture and try to appreciate the privilege of being there.

That's mainly because the people that think it's great to let the whole world in don't suffer because of it, a few foreign polticians coming in and taking goverment jobs should do the trick (unfortunately I know it can't happen), also annoys me when you get journalists praising the "work ethic" of our Eastern European cousins, have they ever worked with these people....NO. I have and would certainly not employ any of them as I've found them lazy, aggressive, untrustworthy and most of them don't speak English, they speak Polish English or Slovakian English etc. We had one who used to go to sleep behind one of the presses and then wander off to McDonalds for 45 minutes during his 10 minute tea break. When they finally sacked him (it took too long), he claimed it was racist and was taking the company to a tribunal, tried to find out what happenend but the company has gone quiet on this, so it's possible they've paid out, we're too soft in this country.
