Now don't twist my words,I have never said that,I outline heavily that a sensible and reasoned debate needs to be had as to immigration and a fair and solid policy as to it that will have stability and continuity.
Of course people are concerned as to numbers coming into the Country but you don't deal with that by scaremongering and throwing out figures of ridiculous size as to the problem.
I feel immigration has been made an issue in the UK in part by the manipulation of those in UKIP and the Conservatives presenting it as a likely large part of the UKs ills.
I prefer to look at plus and minus on everything and there are many positives to immigration to the UK,although from UKIP all we get are the negatives.
I am surprised at your cheaper point at me that you tried to make however LT, as to indicate I thought immigration was not an issue in the UK.
You do me a great disservice there trying that one.
I would not be advocating any immigration policy at all if I thought immigration was not an issue in the UK, so that blows your cheap attempt to 'try' to make me look daft right out the window.
I just believe no one party has the right answer and it is an issue that needs careful consideration and planning from all the main parties particularly.
My view is that immigration does not need to be gone about in the hostile and negative way that UKIP deal with it and also the way the other 2 main parties are now joining the 'bandwagon'.
So the answer to your question that was answered anyway by my wanting a reasoned well planned immigration policy, is 'not so, yes,I do think it is an issue'.
However I would like to see a policy as to it that includes more sensitivity and good reasoning behind any policy as to it.
