Casper Slides says " As long as they (foreigners) are working and paying taxes I don't see that this is a problem".
Think about what you're saying, man. How MANY - in your humble opinion - aren't a "problem"? ...A million? Two million? Ten million? Fifty million? Don't you recognise that we live in a finite world?
We're FULL UP.
Also, what about little matters like the preservation of our culture and way of life, social cohesion, and security?

Ciro, of London. Still some way to go until you get your spelling correct, old boy.

Ghetto's 'R' us

What is not made clear here is that immigrants moving in caused many Londoners to vote with their feet.
It is not a case (as reported in much of the media) of Londoners moving out and the void being replaced by immigrants.

Crash Gordon has failed to help local people. He has done everything to win votes through foreigners and taxes from local people. He will never win an election here. Communism will not survive here in Britain I think.

Ciro - lighten up! It is true that few people speak English in London. Perhaps they can speak English, but they don't do so. It is wrong that English is not spoken by foreigners in London.

Hey, I've got a great idea: instead of concreting over even more of our open spaces for the housing that we supposedly "need" in London, how about sending back a million-odd foreigners? ...Or at the very least the 400,000 or so illegals calculated to be in the capital. Result? Housing problem solved, looming energy crisis reduced or eliminated, more room on the roads, and less crowded public transport. Win, win, and win, as far as I can see.
Bring it on!

As long as they are working and paying taxes I don't see that this is a problem. Sadly I fear that a great majority of them will be living on benefits.

Nu Labor has made so many mistakes but getting these people here and all the costs it brings to us taxpayers... it was stupid!

As a foreigner living in London I disagree with Steve when he says that so few people speak English in London.

Being a foreigner who has lived in London for 26 years, I can say that in my experience I find his comment incorrect and a little sad too. Poor Steve, he must be feeling rather isolated if he thinks that not many of us can read his comment and that he is waisting his time expressing his view. Unlike him, I am confident that many foreigners are able to read his comment. So, thank you Steve for expressing your opinion as this gives us an opportunity for discussion and talk.

Also, I hope that the City workers who will head abroad to find jobs during the recession will find people who are more open and accepting than Steve.

Well isn't that just wonderful! I note that the same number moved out, probably ethnic English wanting to live with their own kind. Meanwhile all our beautiful countryside will disappear by the end of the century to provide room for this lot.

And there are no jobs for Uni graduates, trains and tube/buses are overflowing. Roads gridlocked and we are going to have to build (many)more schools. Ahh the benefit of uncontrolled mass immigration. Its going to get (a lot) worse.

So that's why all the people on the BBC's silly property shows are foreign.

So what do we do with them now?

That will explain why so few people speak English in London these days.In fact I'd be surprised if any of you can read this comment?Actually I'm probably wasting my time typing this.
