dhs1   10 #37 Posted September 2, 2013 The rivers of blood,it seems he was.  Powell was referring to an ancient Roman superstition that when the river Tiber ran red it presaged ill fortune. One possibility raised is that the colour, thought by the ignorant to be blood, was caused by an algal bloom.  ---------- Post added 02-09-2013 at 20:22 ----------  Probably more interesting that we both have a similar view to Powell's problems as health minister..there was going to be trouble at t'mill if he didn't find a ready supply of labour to satisfy the demands British people were placing on the NHS. It was all rosy cheeked mums in gingham aprons, and dads who worked and read the bible to their children before bedtime  You're taking the Michael again. My father read Das Kapital to me.  I know what you mean, the Don's frothing like the Tiber isn't it?  See my post above ---------- Post added 02-09-2013 at 17:43 ----------   I'll have to get my head round this, am I a first generation immigrant if my folks came here or a second generation one? Having a low blood sugar moment  If you're confused what do you think I am? You described yourself as second generation on this thread.

retired   10 #40 Posted September 2, 2013 As said above, we don't need any unskilled low educated imported people we have an abundance of our own. As for immigrants doing low paid jobs well I don't beleive it. I put an ad in the Job centre for a labourer starting on NMW and I had a lot of what appeared on the phone to be English people applying for the job. I just do not believe we need to import people we have more than enough willing British people.  What we do need is educated and skilled people not baby breeders!

mafya   246 #41 Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) i live on city rd where i dont see any filth or crowds gathering outside shops i dont see any people causing anti social behaviour the state that page hall is in is disgusting not to mention the environment.  My reply was about dettoling the area as the posters I quoted said, do you think my parents are not sick of what the area has become? It doesn't give people the right to insult everyone that lives there and that was the point I was making.

boyfriday   21 #42 Posted September 2, 2013 What we do need is educated and skilled people not baby breeders!  The House of Lords paper on the economic impact of immigration, concluded thus:  The submission from the Bank of England showed that, although employed across all occupations, immigrants are concentrated at the high and low skill end of the occupation distribution (p 401). The City of London illustrates this range of occupations, where immigrants are widely found among the staff of the restaurants serving financial executives, many of whom are also immigrants. Overall, more foreign-born workers are in highly-skilled jobs than the UK-born (49% vs 42%), with similar levels for elementary occupations (12% vs 11%). But A8 immigrants are more concentrated in low-skilled jobs, with 38% in elementary occupations and only 13% in higher skilled occupations (ONS p 51).  Dr Drinkwater of Surrey University and Professor Blanchflower told us that, for recent A8 immigrants, there is a significant mismatch between their education/skills and their employment in the UK (Q 235; Q 319)  http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldselect/ldeconaf/82/82.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Just Sarah   10 #43 Posted September 2, 2013 I've seen anti social behaviour of varying degrees amongst blacks, whites, Asian, Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Protestants..it isn't a 'race or immigrant' thing.  Start a thread about it then. This ones about page hall and its problems. Its problems are 99% imported. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Just Sarah   10 #44 Posted September 2, 2013 I totally agree, perhaps with a little help and counselling you'll come to admit you're a man in ladies clothes.  You're over stepping the mark now. Stop getting personal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
