The UK is already flooded with over 1,500 people per square mile of avalable greenbelt
……
Already is flooded!
Why donโt you get rid of your overly generous and obviously people are too lazy and entitled benefits system? Also pay decent wages so your best talent doesnโt need to migrate to Europe for better paying jobs. Iโve been headhunted to work in big London firms but the wages and cost of living are a joke compared to Europe. Thereโs nothing attractive or competitive about working in Britain anymore. Britain needs to first reform its awful parliamentary system (just shouting and grunting at each other) which is obviously being ran by an incompetent government for over 14 years? Itโs quite obvious the real problem are incompetent leadership by the Tories.
We are being flooded with a migrant army of illegal criminals
Its 2023 and I can confirm that Britain is now flooded with immigrants from all corners of the world.
Not about to be it is .
8 years on I can confirm yes we have been.
Well the Romanians are he now, all 500000 plus of them in 2022.
lets have this interview today………….
Strange that the Border Force is unable to monitor the number of people entering the UK. Without such data, it will be impossible to make immigration under control. As a rough guide there over One Million illegal in the UK. In the US they have a ICE. They were able to deport these. Is there a good reason for the UK to fail in the deportation of these one million illegal?
The scary words happened to be true
Looking at this interview nearly 8 years on. I'm wondering yet again how liberals can be so totally deluded and out of touch with plain reality. Baffling.
It's already flooded with illegals !!
No were not they can go somewhere else anymore will turn our country into a sesspit it has too stop these people need too stay where there from our country cannot cope with anymore we the taxpayer are stretched as it is and its not going too get any better
Channel 4 news…..Over 500,000 Romanians no here …not counting Bulgarians ….most of these in the last 5 years since this vid was posted…how about redoing the interview now?!
I worked on a lot of buildings sites,and you used to get a few poles,now it's not unusual to find your the only English person there,wonder if brown, Blair would think it so funny, if he turned up at parliament to find he was the only English person there
Massive immigration certainly happened in London though not European migration
Romanians come in UK because UK ask them to come for special jobs where they don't handle. No romanians will leave such a beautifull country like Romania, with good food and nature, for a fucking concrete and brick area. We come when you ask for, we make the job and leave UK, we don't like to live in rental system, Romania is the greatest house owners teritory in UE – so fuck off guys, we just take your money when your brain is not capable to do it.
Immigration wasn't a problem when everyone had a job. Now politicians allowed the bankers to fuck up the economy. Media start to publish false data about immigration takes more than they pay in taxation and here we have us all arguing. We all should unite. White European. We all should unite and get rid of this government.
Illegal immigration started in 1492, remember your history Britain.
Has Atul Hatwal and Migration Matters ever heard of the concept of controlled immigration ? UKIP is quite right to put this into the political arena, because people have to realise that the UK has no sovereign control over its own naitonal borders. I admit that UKIP have heightened the tension by wording certain ideas in a scary way, but that is the only way to draw peoples' attention to this. Well done UKIP I say. ย
The actual number of Bulgarians and Romanians who eventually come is not relevant. If I were from Romania and Bulgaria, I would be trying to get into the UK. What is relevant is that the UK's door is open because the UK is signed up to EU laws that oblige Britain to keep the door open. UKIP might heighten the tension, but they are right in principle to draw our attention to the fact that the UK government does not have control over its own national borders. And it is just not practical to give up sovereign control of your borders. ย
