I'm surprised it's not more...

Seems that 75% of us want to see immigration slashed, though what slashed means to various people is yet to0 be defined. To me slashed means a moratorium on all but necessary immigration to say two or three thousand a year for jobs we can't train our own to do quickly enough. To others it might simply be to stop Muslims coming in or even EU immigration...
Either way, a lot of people aren't happy about Labour's decision to open the floodgates and rub the right's (whoever they are) nose in multiculturalism.
Express.
STRONG public support for cutting immigration and a hardening attitude to benefit spongers are revealed in a major new survey today.
Three-quarters of those questioned wanted immigration reduced.
More than half said it was bad for the economy and 48 per cent thought it undermined Britain’s cultural life.
But people drew a distinction between different types of incomers.
Highly skilled workers and students with good qualifications were widely welcomed as being good for Britain but support plunged in the case of unskilled labourers.
Alp Mehmet, vice chairman of MigrationWatch UK said: “This survey confirms that when they are told exactly what’s going on and are asked the question, the British ­people will come up with the common sense answer.
“Any advanced economy is going to have an element of migration. We don’t say there should be no immigration but there is no question that it has to come down.”
Pretty much my position as well, I want integration not separation and I don't want unskilled labourers coming here when we have enough unskilled of our own who ought to be doing those jobs (or lose benefits) though sadly until we leave the EU we don't have much choice on the unskilled workers front.
The awful thing is though is that I suspect the damage has been done and our society has been fractured from a basically homogeneous one to one that is dangerously (and becoming ever more so) unstable with the indigenous population feeling discriminated against, in places under siege and displaced by alien cultures who are protected by laws which are virulently and heavily discriminatory against the native populace all in the name of equality, anti-racism, tolerance and multiculturalism of course, where only the indigenous it appears can be racist.
So the survey shows that up too 75% feel that immigration is too high, I suspect that amongst those of us who have lived here all our lives and watched as the work, sacrifice and love for country of generations of Englishmen and women which has been systematically destroyed by the liberal left it's probably much, much, higher.

My best friend at school was born in London of an English mother, his only living relatives are in England, he had a national insurance number; he gained degree level qualifications that led to a job as sports coach in a school for children with physical and mental disabilities, a position that the school had had great difficulty in filling.

He returned from holiday in France and was interned at Dover (temporarily released following pleas by his employer) but subsequently deported as an illegal alien.

Go figure (clue, he is entirely Caucasian).

Why should I be in favour of ANY immigration, AT ALL?

I don't see how anyone holding the (75%) "majority view" can be a "bigot". When three out of four people want something that's being inflicted on their country to be stopped, isn't it time the gummint actually obeyed the electorate? But I won't hold my breath.

Not a doubt of it - designer chaos.
