It was not the Tories that threw our borders open to the world and his wife. Integration and mutual tolerance cannot be enforced, it must evolve organically over time with the help of fair and evenhanded legislation, and clear and consistent rules applied to new immigrants - that they learn to speak English and agree to obey the laws of this country and do nothing to violate or abuse the freedoms we enjoy. I have no idea why some on here dispute the need for immigrants to respect our culture and integrate with society. FGS, what is the alternative?

I don't really disagree with what you say at all,I am no sympathiser for Labour but I just feel this is a vocal rather than practical thing from David Cameron and also I am afraid I have little trust in politicians anyway no matter what party.
They seem to,once in power, just make things worse, over political history since the 1930s, there has only been a succession of mostly Conservative and lesser so Labour govts each seeming to seek to dismantle most of what the previous govt did rather than build on successes and also look for compromises.
Immigration is such an issue where I just feel its a political game and no one has the answers but will not wprk together to get the answers either.
I am very weak on political matters, I would admit that, but from what I have read I feel politicians from all parties once in power fail very badly most of the time the people who put them there.
