""it is just PURE COMMON SENSE !""

Not much of PURITY about it...No matter how loudly you shout.

In 2000 years, there has never been a DAY when this country didn't have a significant immigrant population, and today is no different.

"Too much" is a totally subjective concept.

Too much for whom?....You?.....And why is your assessment more likely to be right than mine, or Richard's?

There is no indication that the infrastructure of this country is collapsing under the weight of immigrants.

More likely, upon logical analysis, is the suggestion that it is in danger of collapsing under the weight of this government's incompetence.

Five percent of a population cannot even significantly influence the choice of government, let alone cause the collapse of a nation's economic structure.

Dear Gordon having saddled every man, woman, and child with thousands of pounds of debt, we might end up being happy to have those immigrants sharing the burden of repayment.

The only complaint I have relating to (but not the fault of) immigrants, is the practice of foreign firms paying wages far below our legal minimum, and then using these low paid workers to carry out work in this country.

That is where the stories of Poles undercutting Brits come from, and it is that which should be stamped on....HARD!

DonT.
