I think the real strain on the NHS is due to unhealthy lifestyles.
I also think that 'the country in tatters' cannot be blamed on a political party, but on ourselves and our actions as a collective.
I think there is more money being filtered out of Britain through corporate tax dodging than immigration issues. Billions upon billions that should be circling in the system.
That's some of what I think anyway. I like to take responsibility for my actions and be the best person I can be for myself, my family and the place I live.

Brilliant post Iain,
I'm ashamed to admit that a UKIP clown (Roger Helmer)has just been re-elected as MEP in my region and will contest the Newark parliamentary by-election next week in abid to become UKIP's first MP, now that Nigel Farrage has lost interest in using the region as a political stepping stone.
Helmer publicly claimed that there is nothing wrong with disliking people because they are gay.
I find it difficult to believe that so many people are duped by Farrage et al, whose entire raison d'etre is to mess up the UK then disappear, and are prepared to put their faith in this type of pillock.
Do what you like, like what you do
What about them? Are you suggesting the positions had to be given to immigrants through lack of UK candidates? To be clear i'm not in favour of UK staff being given unfair advantages, just proposing a hypothetical situation where immigrant applicants never applied.
Just on your point regarding fear inducing nonsense, do you believe immigration poses none of the risks i have suggested?
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
Stewert Lee has a nice take on 'the UKIPs'.
Short version:
And a longer version which gets a bit surreal to make the point. He also drops the C-bomb if you're easily offended.
and the thread is developing along those lines.
Turnout is down, voting has become a choice between the same ie Hobsons choice.
UKIP is merely a chance to put one up the mainstream and quite a few people have taken the chance.
I'm actually more surprised that anyone can find a reason to vote for Tory, Labour or Libdem at the moment in a national election. It seems to me a no vote or a none of the above vote is a fair enough decision.
