nickycheese Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 1. There's no such thing as the indigenous English - There is, they're white, born into the Christian faith. So you think, Ian Wright isn't English? And Richard Dawkins' children can't be English? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It depends what you class as full there is still 'space left' but if there are no jobs available, the NHS is already pushed to its limit along with the police and many other public servant sectors. So allowing more and more people into the country with out solving the problem that we already have things are just going to get worse and worse Do you know how immigration policy works or is supposed to work? Potential immigrants have to satisfy a pre-defined set of criteria-known as 'points'. This is in order to identify their reasons for coming here and whether they are required to do a job, study or fill skills shortages that will benefit UK plc. The other criteria is a family connection, and even this has to be well established-if you had an Australian fiancée would you be happy if she was refused entry to the UK to marry you because she wasn't a British citizen? Even under these circumstances you would have to prove that you were able to support her or she was able to support herself by working in one of the sectors that has a shortage (see above). Contrary to popular belief foreigners don't just turn up at Dover with only scurvy and ship's biscuits to their name and walk into the UK unchallenged.

Ok, you're right about the Scurvy, but I worked in Immigration / Naturalization for a lonnnng time and the system just doesn't work. That's right. I actually *worked directly in this area* and for every person the system catches. Loopholes and mistakes miss ten others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Sidney Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What you really mean is: I believe us to be full. Can you tell us what "full" would mean then. Now that Chris has failed miserably.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you've totally lost me truman...I haven't branded or implied anyone is racist, so perhaps you're reading things into my post that aren't there. I was pointing out the mechanics of immigration policy, there was no particular significance to mentioning 'Australian', the 'fiancée' could be any non European.

It's the same with the UK as it is after you've had a really HUGE meal. You can't even scoff that last delicious wafer thin mint! The UK is, at best, let's use the word overcrowded.
