That I believe was a coalition Government for the duration of the hostilities.
The Countries back was to the wall and we we're skint, the only thing we had to offer was British Citizenship, they just didn't realise how many would take up this chance, just about every Government post-war has mishandled it since then.

Re: Go Home signs
I didn't understand the approach to write the advert in English?
A proportion of illegal immigrants cannot read English and are only able to speak a basic broken English.

Irrelevant, Davo. A large proportion of potential Tory voters can read English!

Re: Go Home signs
'The Labour Party of 1945 was pretty Left-wing. But it was patriotic, Christian and genuinely working-class. It hated cheats and it loathed crime. Several members of the Labour Cabinet of 1948 voted to keep the death penalty. It did not support immigration. It set up the NHS to care for hard-working people whose illnesses were in many cases caused by that hard work. It was (rightly) deeply suspicious of the first steps towards creating what is now the EU. It supported grammar schools, seeing that they gave the children of the poor a ladder out of that poverty. It favoured strong national defences.

Re: Go Home signs
Wynonie,
I think we are making the same point or at least coming to the same conclusion.
The adverts in a practical sense where pointless.
In a political sense, they where effective.

You might be right, that remains to be seen at the next election. Personally, I would think that most people saw right through them!

Doubt if it will make any difference seeing that 0nly 2 out of 10 Labour voters think Mr. Ed. is the right person to leads Labour into the next election, UKIP could well be second in the poll at that rate

Re: Go Home signs
Ed is a bad leader a very bad leader, if Labour had anyone else (well not anyone, certainly not ed balls or harriet Harman) they would be in a stronger position going into the 2015 election.

I do not believe for one moment that you have formulated this post...for a kick off, it is punctuated, makes sense and is readable.......so C'mon...where did you cut and paste it from?(The Daily Mail is my guess)....And how come it isn't just another one of your posts with just a link?
Are these your ideologies...you give us no clue from this post.

Re: Go Home signs
I've seen a simple solution to this problem.
During foot and mouth and mad cow, government decreed that all cattle should be computer tagged and traceable. Therefore all the border agency needs to do is give each illegal imigrant a cow to look after, trace the cow et voila!!
