Thanks legal... I'll take that as some sort of agreement?

You are right I did leave out important factors - I completely underestimated the amount of building required to cope with our increased population after rampant immigration comes to fruition:-

As previously stated we will need hundreds of thousands new homes, schools, GP surgeries and hospitals.

What I omitted was new factories, offices, supermarkets, distribution centres, warehouses, car parks, train stations, places of entertainment and presumably bigger and bigger mosques?

After all these new arrivals will have to work, eat, be entertained and pray to Allah.

I ask you, or anyone else advocating wholesale immigration to the UK........ where is all the space to accommodate these people and the infrastructure needed to allow them to go about living their new daily lives?

I've already discounted the suggestion made by Serial Thriller who mistakenly believed we had 97% of UK land to build on - can anyone answer this simple question?

Thanks for replying.... appreciate it.

I wasn't specifically labelling you as "advocating wholesale immigration".... I think most of your posts are sensible and quite reasonable.

Your first point about religion.... I guess you mean the Poles? Currently we can do nothing about them and they do not pose a threat to our security. Also their religion "jives" in with ours, so they have no need to build places of worship!

I have no doubts that immigration can and has created economic growth. However... that is no comfort to communities that have been swamped with immigrants, eg Lincolnshire where they cannot get their kids in local schools and see a doctor immediately.

London has changed dramatically since 1939. Less houses and more offices have been built I would guess? Similar theme in Bristol. Both areas have seen people pushed out to the suburbs, so both London and Bristol are probably twice the size they were pre war geographically.

Woodlands are being re-instated.... due to erosion and the effect on watercourses. None of them are from housing developments being demolished, but instead replacing hill farming (sheep grazing predominantly).

Your last collection of points revolve around the economic effects of immigrants and whether or not they enrich or diversify our culture.

To counter your claims I would re-state that in some areas their presence causes problems (schools GP's).
Some areas their presence has divided communities. Here in Bristol St Pauls and Easton are virtually at war with each other as Yardies take on pakistani gangs for drugs distribution/turf war. Bradford has different but greater problems along with Rochdale and Rotherham where Asians have got away with raping young girls because the police felt it un-PC to even investigate these crimes let alone make arrests.

I also worry about our security. How many of those trying to get in from Calais or elsewhere are fundamentalists?

I've seen a great change in the UK since I was born in 1954 and for me, not for the better. A lot of things like seeing a maypole, village cricket teams, country pubs, carnivals have all but gone.

I'm not blaming the immigrants for this loss of our heritage, but it a sign that our country has changed due to pressures of living, squeezing of space and people not having time to enjoy life.You mentioned London in 1939... I expect it was a nicer place to live then than now even with WWII looming.

Seriously legal, in terms of space (ignoring economics) enough is enough - I don't want to be as crowded as Singapore thank you.

My solution to this problem is to send the SAS in and machine gun all the 'I come England, lots of money' brigade. Machine gun the vermin, burn their camps to the ground and deny all knowledge.
When another lot rock up, do exactly the same, then they'll soon realise that the only thing they'll be getting is a bullet or two. Drastic measures. And I'd be more than happy to volunteer.
