Colin I am proud to be “British”/ “English” but it saddens me the way the Scots appear to be heading towards breaking away from the union although from the information I have read its another example of the minority in Scotland having the biggest voice over the majority I may be wrong on this but the polls I have read seem to show a healthy support to keep Scotland in the union
Maybe if we tell them they will have to have Brown, Darling and the rest of his Scottish Ministers in their parliment instead of ours they may not be so eager to see Scotland break away

I agree with Andy Stilwell, we need to look at the Other vote in this poll. It appears both to be high in relation to other Polls and to have risen, albeit within the margin of sampling error.

The Other vote appears from the Tables to be broken down as SNP 4%, Green 2%, UKIP 1%, BNP 1%, Plaid

Thanks Colin I know my views may not be to the liking of some people and I may not of had the education of many of the people that visit site clearly Peter falls into that catgory
But that would never stop me expressing what I belive a large number of people think is going wrong in this country
minority views seemed to be the loudest at the expense of the majority I just wish that would change

Peter, this is not the place to pick people up on poor grammar – if it were I might question your contextual use of the word “definition” above. It’s a waste of time. Most of the errors are typos anyway.

Very well expressed Glenn.

Spelling & Grammar in English can be difficult-it depends on one’s education.We all get them wrong from time to time.

Perhaps it is for someone south of the Border to express an “English” opinion-I qualify & am glad you are here.

Peter yes ok if you are refering to my bad spelling and poor grammer you have a good point
The point I was trying to make is it should be more of a privilage to come here work settle down and be part of our society rather than a devine right

Glenn,

” Yes I do mean control where the migrants come we should be able to stop anyone from entering this country without giving a reason thats half the problem we need people who speak English who have a work permit before they enter this country and have accomadation arranged”

If that’s your definition of English we wouldn’t let you in……

Peter.

John tt Yes I do mean control where the migrants come we should be able to stop anyone from entering this country without giving a reason thats half the problem we need people who speak English who have a work permit before they enter this country and have accomadation arranged and are prepared to work hard and after time they can obtain the privalige of using public services for free when you see Romany children being dumped on our doorstep and being used as petty theives you must agree with me something needs to change radically Labour has lied about immigration consistantly and that to me is the biggest crime of all

Glenn – we agree on a lot – it’s just that I have a bit more time for Brown than you, and I’m not convinced by CAmeron.
I don’t believe you mean that we “should control the country they come from” – that would be a daft ambition, but I personally believe we should consider the effects of migration on the source countries – is the system depriving those countries of there lifeblood/workforce?

I’m not saying keep any numeber out, or let everyone in, it’s just that there’s such a thing as 360 degree, big-picture type control that includes consideration of all the circumstances, not simply our “needs”

Arnie just being born in this country doesnt mean you are automatically a British Citizen although I must say we have devalued the the nmeaning of being British over the last 20 years
Many migrants from the 60s and 70s comming from the colonial countries regarded themselves and rightly so as British Citizens even before they reached our shores yes they were badly treated and it took many years for them to become an excepted members of society
Today things are very different to many people from to many different societies and cultures without that long standing idea that first and for most they are British so we have now have people who have no real respect for our society only that they can use it for there own ends whether that be payments leagally or otherwise ,political, the use of our huge overpaid legal system,our benifits system
I am in favor of migration but we should be able to control the country they come from and the amount this country needs if its 3 million over the next 10 years tell us the truth explain why and where these people are needed let the people of this country join a debate even a vote if possible as to what people we want or dont want in our country give us your plans as to where they are to live so schools and hospitals and infastructure is in place and if this was going to be a net gain to our economy and maybe just maybe people would have accepted this more readily instead of mileading people with outrageous figures and expecting people to belive them
