Jobs, jobs, jobs!

Why does the Government have no intention of "increas[ing] or reduc[ing] the number of people coming to the UK" even though 75% of people think too many immigrants are coming to the UK?

Will immigrants be competing for jobs with 1m incapacity benefit claimants that the Government is also keen to get back into work?

Where will they all work? The public sector?

Just wait till the next recession bites......
Blood and snot on the streets I think. The south sea bubble of our 'service' economy will fall flaccid and wilt -and join the manufacturing sector into oblivion.

Then the fun will begin. Low skilled workers chasing any job going, forcing down wages, moonlighting, cheapo jobs, cash in hand...... Then our handwringing PM will call for a debate, understanding, tolerance.....

A glassy eyed Princess Tony will give another Oscar winning performance - but wwill it be too late?

Unfortunately, the unemployment rate in England is one of the lowest in Europe because so many people are claiming incapacity benefit and therefore are excluded from the unemployment count.

One of the worst defences I have ever heard for more immigration was from a Labour MP who claimed that it made restaurant meals cheaper!

It seems to me that more immigration only damages the interests of Labour's core working class voters as they compete for the same jobs and public services!
