Default LOL - net migration at nearly 300K

UK net migration rises to 298,000

You have to laugh

Cameron promised it would be 100K by 2015

I don't have a problem whatsoever with the number of immigrants, but it does make me laugh that Cameron promises something he is utterly unable to control.

I do think we should be able to control our own borders. Instead of making stupid promises he should maybe like to look at why he can't keep them in the first place!

Don't forget kids, the housing crisis is nothing to do with immigration!

300thousand house's needed per year to keep up with immigrant demand, simple answer dont build them and they won't come here, and before all the lefty handwringers with no fingerprints left start, ask yourself the question, would you travel thousands of miles using your life savings and sometimes even walking if you knew there was no house and no job and no generous benefit;s at the end of the journey i don't think so. end of problem

Well as a point of actual FACT i know full well a that asylum seekers were

actually encouraged by agencies working for the government to stay living on benefits ,40 quid a week in 2008, so that they could stay in provided - miniscule accodomadation.

But of course this isnt what the average asylum seekers is looking for - just not enough cash to send back home

plus average immigrant just isnt used to doing nothing all day

I think you can probably treble that number to get closer to the facts, certainly from what I have seen on my toing and froing from Croatia to the UK over the past 8yrs. Ferry, Airports, roads, shops and streets full of immigrants.

UKIP is pro fracking in general, subject to proper assessments and precautions (e.g regulating well cladding etc)

As an aside, just prior to Christmas I flew from Stansted for work. The place was heaving and I would hazard a guess (from being stuck in queues virtually everywhere and looking/listening) that around 75% of people travelling were Eastern Europeans, likely going home for Christmas.
One hell of a lot of tidy *****, mind.
Most larger supermarkets around here have an Eastern European section. And their presence is obvious locally with vans ferrying them around for work, waiting at bus stops, lots in the supermarket and town centres close to their digs.

No you are missing the point and doing what all politicians do... deflecting. Yes Labour c0cked up, but the fact remains that Cameron said he would get net migration down to 100K, he hasn't and more to he point he knew he never could. He's a bare faced liar!

Why Cameron's procrastination or avoidance though?

Fear of being labelled racist, becoming a terror target and or lack of resources/knowledge?

Er.... the EU controls UK immigration policy, he couldn't genuinely promise it because he could not control its delivery. By doing so he was just pandering to the whims of those who think immigration is the reason for all the country's ills presumably because he thinks that sort of person will vote Conservative!. He's spineless!

Do you generally refer to women as 'tidy *****' and do you take a similar view with the females in your family?

Not exclusively as there are plenty of suitable variants, and they would of course have to fulfil the remit first.
As for females in my family, the only one is my mother so certainly not. I refer to her as 'the old dear'.

What you should have asked was "Are you a misanthrope?".
