I know , you know it, everybody knows it.....except politicians !!!!!!
They told us immigration would be good for the country, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But they short sightedly thought  that integration meant street houses comprising 'one of us, one of them' was how it would work.
Well, it hasn't.......all towns have segregation, not integration >:(

I was born in East London (during WW2), in the days when the streets were black and white - and the people weren't!

If this realisation had dawned 10 years ago, maybe something could have been done about it. But even then, who would have had the guts to say what needed saying. In a world where it is a crime to speak your mind...to rail against immigration is racist...against homosexuals  being married in church because of your religious beliefs is homophobic.....to say someone is too old to do a proper job is ageist....the list goes on.
But now it's far too late....the lunatics are running the (political) asylum.
If we can take anything from this it is:
1) Never elect that bunch of glorified social workers called the Labour Party ever again, and
2) Hope that Cameron gets no joy at all from the bloodsuckers at the European Disunion so we can leave at the earliest opportunity.


We will find it tough, financially, if we get out, but we may just get a bit of national pride back.

This realisation had dawned 10 years ago, probably longer but no one has had the guts to do anything about it so the circle just keeps on turning, and what the politicians think is good for our country is totally different to what we think is good for our country.

The first thing is that the economic success that Britain has enjoyed has been helped immensely by immigration. How else do you cope with demand? In theory the immigrants are quite happy doing the low paid jobs that others don't want to do. Whether that keeps wages artificially low is a moot point. Merkel is currently doing the same in Germany to fuel their worker shortfall. History will show that her universal welcome was a bad milestone in Europe.

Where it falls down is in two areas.

1. Documenting who is actually arriving. I am afraid it is high time everyone has an ID card linked to their healthcare status and employment status and bank accounts. Law abiding folk would have nothing to fear. Britain steadfastedly avoids this from some trivial concern over "rights".

2. Trying to integrate newcomers rather than allowing them to impose their beliefs on the indigenous people. Hajibs, Mosques, minarets and so on. Ask yourself would Brits be able to wear short skirts, sun bathe topless, build Protestant churches if they went to live in a Muslim country.?  I don't know how you stop like minded nationalities congregating in certain areas and making them no go for other nationalities. It is human nature. We Brits do the same thing in Spain. Don't learn the language, set up British goods shops and all day English breakfasts, complain that the shops shut for siesta and so on. Our vet hates the Brits that greet her with Hiyahh. She says why can't they use a Spanish greeting.

It is a funny thing  but we use a lot of black pepper and buy it in 500gram bags from the Indian shops on Evington Road in Leicester when we were back in the UK. Well we don't now as the last time a bunch of West Indian women in the shop made Mrs V very uncomfortable. Did the stop talking in a foreign tongue thing and actually questioned her on what you want in here honey.

Think of it as like the fall of the Roman empire. They (we) got too well fed , lazy and complacent and lost it.

Politicians know exactly what is going on, and always have. They are just shit scared of confronting it because the whole dirty mess is mainly of their own making.

And to reinforce the labour position, Jeremy Corbyn is over in Calais saying we should let them all in because of the conditions in the camp, ignoring the fact that they could register in France if they chose to.
