We've always had homeless people, and people starving, yet those on the right refuse to increase taxes to pay for things, and continue to strip away the social safety nets that are left.

I saw Cameron on TV the other day after the election, saying that what he learned, was that he needed to do welfare "reform". Now what do people think that actually means? It means taking more money from those that need it the most. I can't take any argument on immigration seriously while the government are doing their best to completely divide and conquer the country by increasing the gap between rich and poor.

So I don't think immigration is perfect, and there are lots of issues to deal with, but the government (this one and the last) are so scared of standing up to their corporate masters, they continue to demonise, attack, and take from the poorest people in the country.

Why not march them through the streets in stocks and let all the Anglo-Saxons throw tomatoes at them?

we have to use a term to describe them and immigrant is what we use. I have already posted about the "we are all immigrants line" I think most know the difference between a Pole, Estonian, Lithuanian in his/her twenties who arrived off the last boat and someones Granny who 20 generations ago came from Riga!

As for rich and poor that wont change, look at the numbers who do the lottery. people want to be rich and when they are are rich they tend to buy things for themselves and try to keep their money - we are a selfish bunch
