Or get tough re our illegal immigrant problem.. £200 million it has cost the NHS on treatment for people not entitled to it, plus £100 million spent on flights home for the illegals.. I can see a way to save a few pounds straight away!

Zee.. I think if you were PM, I could be your deputy and we could have this country sorted in a few months!

We'd sort them out in no time! I think the leaders of this country need to swallow their pride and admit they're wrong when it comes to the war(s) and immigration policies - seems to me like they're refusing to do so and therefore cutting money elsewhere because they don't want to back down from those policies!

Christ, thats like a quote by quote of the Daily Mail. I think it is far to easy to generalise and blame all our problems on 'them immigrants'. So how would you 'save a few pounds' straight away? How would you stop 'illegals' coming over - which is SUCH a small minority. Immigration does alot of good aswell...

I've never read the Daily Mail in my life, in fact I no longer read newspapers. I do however have a family memeber who works for the Home Office in immigration so I know that it is a big problem and IS costing the country a LOT of money..

I'm not blaming all our problems on "them immigrants", not at all. I was merely coming up with one money saving idea in the same way Zee did.

And re stopping them coming over.. I need to have a meeting with PM Zee regarding that!

But that is just a tiny pebble in an ocean; it would help save money but the problem is regarded worse that it is; my sceptical self believes it's a ploy to detract from bigger problems.

And it's easy to say how we can save money but it's hard to work how to implement this; I could say I want to start mining millions of gallons of oil from Cornwall to sell, turn Essex into clothes sweat shops and cut and sell all Northerners hair to sell abroad as wigs to get a better economy - but I can't do this can I?

I agree it's a pebble in an ocean, but disagree that it is regarded a bigger problem than it actually is, in fact I think it is a bigger problem economically than we think! I did however use this just as one example where the gov could save a bob or two!

Join Zee and me, we'll make you chancellor and we can discuss your ideas.. (I'm kinda liking the idea of cutting Northerners hair!)
