I do not appreciate unconstructive comments from people, but very much relish people giving well formed opinions here. Thankyou.

D Simpson, you are quite right and the odds of me ever voting for the BNP again are very low. I do appreciate there are as many bad white people which is why I am not racist as some of you may believe. At the time, I was living in Birmingham in an area where white people were the minority and I was getting sick of living there as I was made to feel so unwelcome by the neighbours who happened to have a habit of using the white people in the area for target practice with their air guns. Not fun.

For the record, if I was to move to another country, I would expect NO help from them in supporting me. I would use what money I had to set up and I would get ANY job available until I could find something more suitable.

DtG: It is of my opinion that hard working and poor minorities are the ones that get screwed over in this country.

Keith A of Hertford, ur comment at 14 Aug 04 - 07:36 AM was spot on. I'm trying to achieve something constructive here and give people the opportunity to help me see another way.

On the subject of the Irish, I would gladly pass Northern Ireland back to Ireland but the inhabitants of that nation WANT TO STAY WITH US, so that is what they shall do, despite the cost of many soldiers lives. I was in Manchester City centre when the bomb went off so I have a direct POV on that one.

I do appreciate the culture different nations bring to us but it's a simple shame that they segregate themselves from the nation of the UK.

I found this Mudcat website through yahoo search engine when I was looking for info about oil reserves, oddly enough.

I am an ordinary Joe but if you do not believe - fine. And maybe I have been influences by their propaganda and marketing, but I would testify it is more through MY OWN NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES.

Keith A - again u made a valid point later on. Perhaps I would be more specific to say I would like better border control. We should look after our own, properly, before helping others. We are totally incapable of looking the population we have so far, without letting more and more in! Consider this, the people trying to get through the channel tunnel at their own accord have passed through all the other European countries before reaching the UK, they did not claim Asylum at the first place they arrived at (which is what you're meant to do) so they obviously are finding something great about the UK. Which I do not mind. But these people slip into the underworld and can never be traced.

In conclusion, it is the way in which immigration is controlled and the power the Police have to be changed.

In general, I believe harsher punishment for major crimes, Murder and Rape being the big ones, should be increased, you could kill a guy and you get ten yrs, that is bang out of order. And then, if you kill a guy who is robbing ur house, in pure self defence, he's in your house remember! You then get sent to Jail. And oh, the git then sues u for damages! This has happened in the UK!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, depsite all the mess Labour have made for this country (hmm, higher council tax rates, poorer NHS, more and more stealth taxes, a war in the middle east which had no justification....) they will probably be voted in again.

Keep it coming people.
