I admit I am prejudiced against the Slovaks because of the way some of them behave and wish they would go back to their homeland. The other nationalities have a good work ethic but as Alec says there is no work and our health service must be pushed nearly to it's limits.
We can not continue to accept those from the EU at the same rate that are coming here at the moment.
Having served in the army and risking their lives for this country the least we could do is allow the Ghurka and his dependants the chance to live here.
We had a lovely Indian lady who volunteered her services at the shop for quite a few months while she looked for work, her husband was already in full time employment.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Marek,
I know that East Europeans cannot be kept out but why is Dover such a magnet?.

Following the release of figures of asylum seekers in the UK, the Daily Mail have warned that the population in the country will soon be overtaking that of Asian giants India and China.They have claimed that approximately 300% of those looking for amnesty on British shores are allowed to remain here, taking our jobs and eating our caviar.
Seizing upon a critical report which says whatever it is they want it to, the Mail have printed the details which portray the scale of the problem that the UK is now facing. Many commentators have voiced their concerns that the uncontrolled influx from Eastern Europe has failed to displace the native population of places like Coventry.
It also points to a very large number of immigrants who cannot be accounted for as they cannot be identified or located, with fears that they may have ended up somewhere out of the reach and jurisdiction of the authorities, such as Middlesbrough.
Mail Editor Paul Dacre expressed his horror, "This report proves the shocking lack of effectiveness of our immigration control." "Billions of people are being allowed to stay in the UK indefinitely, despite having funny coloured skin and being less welcome than the FA at a FIFA conference after-party."
The Coalition government has been in the firing line immediately, especially after hopes that it was going to halt all cross-border movement within hours of its election last May. One Tory MP moved to calm the panic, telling the house, "Let me assure you that those of us completely isolated from the effects of immigration here in parliament are suitably-horrified by this new information."
"The last thing we want is yet more people on top of the lingering British working-class, who persist in getting in the way of us helping our friends in the city and getting every single one of our children into Eton."
Excellent!!

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter)

MAREK;
That tory probably gives real face of the conservative party.
We don;t have so many as they are being called 'slovaks'
those were in the days wheb everyone was dumped in Dover.
Thankfully dispersal was introduced, but like the previous govt. this govt needs to stop talking tough, and get some action, as the numbers are increasing under the tories
