Don't talk to me like I'm some sort of cnut, I asked a question, that being, was the current crisis of illegal immigration predicted years ago.

 

Though ignoring that 94% of UK immigrants are authorised, and out of the rest many are seeking asylum and sanctuary in the UK from wars and persecutions elsewhere - immigration as a whole to the UK can be predicted to happen. The last government and this one have encouraged about 1 million immigrants a year. With that number there will be those that come along for the ride when they are not meant to. I guess that is predictable. The predictions are that with the UKs flat to falling birth rates we 'need' immigrants to sustain the system as our home grown population falls - governments will keep authorising a lot of immigrants to feed the system for good while yet.

Absolutely, and we are seeing one downside of Brexit with the loss of immigrant labour prepared to harvest crops that natives aren't prepared to. I've worked with Eastern Europeans on some of those jobs, and their work ethic puts us to shame.

Just wait until the government are forced by the high court to stop using those slum hotels to house these people. I'll ask another question, where do you think they will be housed next?

 

Also could someone tell me why some towns/cities are full of illegal immigrants and others have few or none? Wait till the come to live in your area!

 

I live in a sleepy village in Suffolk but still do a lot of work in the Staffordshire Moorlands, guess what, you would be hard pressed to find an illegal immigrant, go into Stoke on Dope and there's hotels full of them, the cynic in me suggests the more affluent areas dont and won't have them, whys that?

No run down or any hotels in affluent areas? Nimby-ism?

Chill pill! So a film made years ago that won many awards for its brutal honesty, and a Prime minister considered by some to be one of the greats of this country didn't predict what was coming/happening?

They weren’t rundown hotels until the previous government and the current government started paying hotel owners over the odds to house these people.

No. The film is about the 80's, you're scapegoating a small section, how about just taking another section, say where Milky is beaten to a pulp by a racist? 

If you take the text out of context you are left with a con.

Really, check out a blogger called Rick Gannon former police officer and now one of the biggest buy to let landlords in the Midlands, watch his video about him point blank refusing a 50% uplift on his rental properties from the government to turf out his long standing residents to house these people. If you can't see what's happening is wrong I give up with you.
