Sounds like a reasonable arguement to me.

It is important to remember just what the Tories did to the ordinary working people of this country and how we are still living with Thatcher's legacy and will be for years. So many people were consigned to the scrapheap by her policies.

All those privatisations mean that gas, electricty and phone companies put profit first, they are more interested in making money for their shareholders than charging fair prices.

But the Tories haven't been in power for the last eleven years. So would you care to tell us when this present Labour administration are going to unveil their plans to take those companies back into state ownership?

Re: Which party do you support?

Can I just say I LOVE immigrants whether legal or not, and there is no chance in hell that I'd vote for BNP even if I didn't.

Some of my closest friends have immigrated here, or their parents/grandparents have in the past and they've been born here. There was a programme on a while ago that struggled to find anyone 100% british, there was blood in most people from all over the globe, and chances are there isn't a 100% british person on this forum.

Its ok to say send away the immigrants blah blah blah, but most of you will have at least one friend who isn't british born or at least their families aren't. I think the idea of wanting to deport immigrants is an idea of the older generation, not mine, and its horrible.

Do you deport their children with them aswell? Or do the british born children of them get to say. Do you set an age limit on that? What age do you decide a child doesnt need their mother or father if you allow them to stay if they've reached a certain age? Would it be 18? I still need my mum... 21? I reckon I'll still need her then. I reckon there are people on here alot older who will say they still need their mum.

We have foreign friends on this forum, and if I was them I'd be a bit offended by those people who are supporters of BNP, because your basically saying we dont need them as our friends, in fact we dont want them in the country at all. That labels you two faced, and it also makes accyweb look bad that there are as many BNP supporters on it as Labour.

I thought the first was a joke, but 7? i hope thats just a case of following the sheep and not what you really believe, because its disgusting.

Wouldn't that become irrelevant if a party withdrew us from the EU?

Possibly, but that isn't going to happen. I wouldn't vote for the two parties who want to take us out of the EU anyway, because one (BNP) I wouldn't support in a million years, especially with a non-white, immigrant wife, and the other (UKIP) seems to have a lot of policies that are dangerously old-style Tory. So all I've got left are the Loonies!

knowone is telling you to vote bnp, and im not a supporter myself
Some of my closest friends have immigrated here, or their parents/grandparents have in the past and they've been born here. There was a programme on a while ago that struggled to find anyone 100% british, there was blood in most people from all over the globe, and chances are there isn't a 100% british person on this forum.

my family tree is still ongoing , as my surname will tell you my clan go back along way, but you may be right on this, as i dont know for sure
Its ok to say send away the immigrants blah blah blah, but most of you will have at least one friend who isn't british born or at least their families aren't. I think the idea of wanting to deport immigrants is an idea of the older generation, not mine, and its horrible.

i do have good friends from all walks of life, and i would never change them, foreign or not, makes no difference,
Do you deport their children with them aswell? Or do the british born children of them get to say. Do you set an age limit on that? What age do you decide a child doesnt need their mother or father if you allow them to stay if they've reached a certain age? Would it be 18? I still need my mum... 21? I reckon I'll still need her then. I reckon there are people on here alot older who will say they still need their mum.

thousands of foreign kids come here on their own and are put up by social services, usually they are 26yr old have ditched their passports(which in itself is illegal) and claim to be under 18, where are their parents who care so much for them. oh yes i have never needed my mum nor will i ever
We have foreign friends on this forum, and if I was them I'd be a bit offended by those people who are supporters of BNP, because your basically saying we dont need them as our friends, in fact we dont want them in the country at all. That labels you two faced, and it also makes accyweb look bad that there are as many BNP supporters on it as Labour.

i have no problem with immigrants, as long as its through the proper chanels and they really are in danger, but people who use and abuse the system are not welcome, (most of the human trafficers are foreign, you support this cruelty blazey as you have said you love all immigrants well shame on you for thinking young girls should be locked up and used as prostitutes).
I thought the first was a joke, but 7? i hope thats just a case of following the sheep and not what you really believe, because its disgusting.
why do you seem to think its just bnp supporters that dislike immigrants, you can vote labour or tories or whoever doesnt mean you like immigrants, its peoples personal choice and its their beliefs,
