Never have voted for the BNP and never will.

Rose, how's that family tree coming along??? lol ;-)

I think it's immaterial how many of us would be here because of where our ancestors were born.

Surely the whole point here is humanity. I honestly cannot believe that anyone would advocate sinking boats of 'would be' immigrants.

I think it is now time for our immigration laws to be tightened up.
As a country we are now 'running on empty' and the enormous drain on our National Health and Education cannot be sustained for much longer.

I can see no point in letting more and more people into this country if we cannot give them and us a half way decent life.
It just seems pointless to me for an immigrant to leave one ghetto for another even if it is in a different country.

In answer to your question Rose... I would never vote for the BNP and am puzzled by people who can and do.

Thank you to all for answered, especially those who did so (and didn't in fact!) after I went to bed, I was going to delete in case it 'turned' but forgot.

Btw, Anyone else having a look at the Griffin tree ? I found his birth as per Maggie's info ( I had to didn't I ?! lol) but couln't yet see a marriage for mum and dad.

there cannot be any British person who is "pure" bred - no way - I was digging back into my paternal grandmother's line - Harman - and was horrified to find out it was German - [apologies to our German members] but I did live through WW2!!!] - I had always thought it was Welsh as there are so many Welsh Harmans

I do wish they would put him on WDYTYA but I bet he wouldn;t go on there

Maggie - just love your story of the ball crushing platforms!!!! I have a Jarret in my tree - my Dad's sister married a Jarret

Horrible Evil Man!!

Maggie I am also 100% English (apart from William the Conqueror - allegedly!). I'd be very lonely without all you lot tho and all my real life friends who have non-English ancestry, however recent. In fact my kids would have no friends at all! Thankfully neither of them 'see' skin colour or racial difference. their friends are just their friends :-)

you would think that him saying that would make people realise what the BNP are really like, but the problem is that there are a surprising amount of people who would actually agree.

I don't think there is a simple solution, every country wants the best for their citizens and every individual wants the best for themselves and their family and will cross continents and risk their lives to get to it. until there is real freedom and equality across the world, there will always be refugees, ex-pats and migrating workers.

cruel but true
when i lived in Kent
some refugees came across from France on a lilo
paddling away for merry hell they were
and some of the local kids
got a air rifle and took pot shots at the lilo
the lifeboat had to go out and rescue them

Afternoon all ;o)

It's Edgar Vincent Griffin, not Edwin. He married Jean Thomas Q4 1950, Hendon, Middlesex.....

Not that I've been looking it up, obviously... ;op

He's an idiot. He has nothing to say that I want to hear.

Yes we have immigration problems, and yes, it's not perfect, but humanity is the thing that should shine through in all of this. All that man spews is nothing short of vile, vicious hatred.

I'm off, I'm going to see The Human League in Thetford Forest tonight, so I've lots to do! have a great day everyone :o))

oooh well done Heidi , thats why I couldn't find it :) Edwin was my dad's name

Rose, I suppose that we should be pleased in that every time he looks in a mirror he sees a utter and complete "Rear Orifice" ( Being Polite ) and that s what he is ,and his Ilk.**M**.

Sorry about the misinformation - just shows how wrong the internet can be!!!
Maz - you've reminded me of an argument between my 2 daughters, when they were 12 and 14.
The younger couldn't understand why X was being called names and racially abused.
'It's because he's black' said her sister.
'No he's not' replied the younger. This went on for quite a while. Elder daughter was getting quite frustrated. Younger daughter wouldn't have it.

He was black - and I was sooo proud that, aged 12, my younger daughter never noticed - to her, he was just a sweet boy who was picked on.

slightly off the subject but a friend of mine was desperately ill in hospital, no one could find out what was wrong with him and he was deteriorating by the day - fortunately a foreign doctor - African I think - recognised the symptoms immediately as it was endemic where she had come from and he was treated and made a complete recovery - that's a plus side of having foreigners in this country

To tie in with your 'green' thread Rose - could Nick Griffin not be recycled, and made into something more useful.

hi Rose
As far as sinking immigant boats goe's well that is beyond belief
but i must (and sorry about this , agree that we are now inundated with universal undesireables ).
We are a dumping ground for the rest of Europes (we don't want them )
come to Britain .
Now we have Albanian gangsters, somali drug smugglers and a whole host of other pillars of the community.
We are now even in the throws of building hi tech prisons in Nigeria to house 4,00 nigerian criminals holed up in British jails because we can't send them back to hellhole prisons in Nigeria .
Beggars belief oh by the way 3,00 of the 4,00 are here illigally
igor

LOL Fiona aka Ruby...that is the best line I have seen for ages :)))

Hi Igor, all....

now who watched Torchwood? !! ok I know it's hokum ...but actually it had something to say I thought about how we choose who is 'useful' .

10% of the worlds children requested by aliens or the elimination of all mankind.... by what criteria do you choose.....? ( obviously if you didn't watch you won't know what the hell I am talking about lol)

a friend of mine employs asylum seekers in the NHS as volunteers - some of the stories she has heard are horrendous - not all asylum seekers are on the scrounge - all hers are mostly professional people who would very much like to work and contribute something to this country but are happy just to be volunteers whilst they wait for admission - happy to just get meal allowance

"In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Beautifully put, Rose
