It's not racist to call a politician a tosser

'Electioneering'

What kind of language

would you like

your firing squad to speak?

Whether New Labour[TM],

Liberal or Tory,

it's the same old story.

Enter BNP, UKIP or Liberal,

we never think

the situation is that critical.

Don the blindfold,

cast your vote;

until you learn and lobby,

you won't have a hope.


Manifesto, my ass! Immigration raises its evil hide again, as it did in previous elections, like the one in 1979. The Tories have a poster campaign with the line suggesting it 'Isn't racist' to put limits on immigration. Who said that it was racist? Nobody, but it would appear that the Tory manifesto is targeted at the kind of f*ckwit who begins their frothing monologue with 'I'm no racist, but...'.

Immigration has cultural and economic benefits and is humane & compassionate (think Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Yugoslavia). It does however, need to be fairer and be seen to be fair, both in terms of processing times and the half-arsed 'dispersal' policy.

If the 'developing world' let you invade their country and ransack their oil and minerals, then you should at least let them flee here.

The statistics tell an interesting story. According to The Economist, in 2003, Britain accepted 140,000 settlers from outside the EU. That is 0.3% of Britains adult population. By contrast, Canada lets in 1% of its total population in new settlers every year.

(Remember Canada for a moment)

Only 5% of the British population were born abroad, compared with 9% of Germans, and a whopping 23% of Australians.

(Remember Australia - and don't forget Canada)

Is it a flood? No, not at all. It is an increase, but lets face it, some pretty mad sh*t kicked off around the world and people naturally learnt athletics and got the hell out - would you stick around to get your goolies cut off and stuck down your throat? Thought not...

Much of the problem with immigration is sheer ignorance on the part of the electorate, making them gullible targets for politicians. So ask yourself some serious questions
, find the answers for yourself, and then use your vote. You'd be pretty hacked off if it was taken away from you.

And if you don't like my views on immigration, then please bugger off to Australia or Canada.
