      It’s a pretty blatant lie, but it’s also an obvious lie when the Tories say the same thing.

      I’m all for it provided we prioritise skilled immigrants which are culturally similar to better aid and increase social adhesion.

      Something that the tories, despite their mantra, have 14 years to figure out and still fumbled.

      It’s insultingly obvious at this point that the same people are pulling the strings whoever’s in government. Crack pot, I know.

      I’d rather have Labour – but none of them are really working for us.

      So that’s legal immigration sorted, what about the illegal sort.

      Can’t trust a thing he says. Picking between Labour and Tories really is a case of lesser of two evils. So bleak

      The coalition technically cut immigration, but it didn’t matter did it? We CATEGORICALLY do ***not*** have the houses or infrastructure to keep gaining anything more than a few thousand a year, it simply is not physically possible without damaging what little remains of public services.

      Why not, should be pretty easy to do if the record immigration party leaves power.

      Can’t wait to deface my ballot and sleep well knowing I wasn’t forced to pick between Coke and Pepsi.

      I’ve just come back from Belgium. They have a lot of immigrants too. But many aim to come to the UK purely because we have no ID card system than limits access to healthcare, work, benefits etc.

      The common knowledge amongst immigrants is that they can disappear in to the crowd once they are here.

      Why put so much emphasis on it when he knows it’s bollocks and the opposition will spend the next four years using it to attack him?

      He won’t. Reeve’s whole economic platform is based around deregulation and chasing economic growth at any cost – supply side reform neoliberalism – immigration and cheap labour is essential for that. Love or hate immigration it does increase GDP and the size of the economy – which is all these people really care about.

      Problem is they mostly dont integrate. Come here and learn the language and the British way or go home
