Have to say, on the whole I agree with a lot of your points though. People are frightened to brinig up the subject of immigration for fear of being labelled a racist. Good post.

Thanks Livia, Bananarama

Politicians tend to be Career orientated, and Politics HAS to be about Serving the People or it just does not work. May as well have a Monarchy as keeping your eye on 1 curruptable King is easier than 250 curruptable Politician's

But for balance of course there have been some great Politicians. Mo Mowlem's part in N.Irelands Peace talks, Claire Short in her defience of the Whip, over the Invasion of Iraq.
