Mmm. I an no fan of mass immigration as the existence of a generous

But have you actually seen any figures which support it?

Sometime spersonal experience is more important that whether or not
someone is allowed to publish the stats.


The ones I've seen suggest removing benefits entirely from all
immigrants would make only the tiniest of dents in the immigration
figures.

I'd agree with that to a certain point.

There is no point in Cameron upsetting other EU countries then bragging
about some 'concession' or other he's got as regards benefits if it has no
significant effect on the numbers wanting to come here. It's simply a
smokescreen - something politicians are very good at - and may win a vote
or two amoung the dribbling readers of the Mail, and other rancid fascists
that we seem to attract on here.

you still have to believe what is said.


But unless you can show me why
there isn;t mass immigration to saudia arabia then maybe you're missing
something.

Would you like to live in Saudi? You'd need a new name. ;-)

I'm not muslim, so no I wouldn't I wouldn;t even go there on holiday.
Now why muslims or any other religion would want to come to the UK and not Saudi I wouldn't know must be the weather as I can;t think of any other reason can you ?
If I were an asylum seeker I'd want asylum in a country who religious can cultiural beliefs were similar to my own.
If I believed that women should remain covered I wouldn't want my wife moving to a country where most of the women walked around half naked, were allowed to drive cars, drink alchol and work and get an education.



You didn;t see the program about saudia last night where they
are building a new city of 2 million people, but NOT for immigrants even
muslim ones.

I'd hope there aren't many on here who hold up Saudi as a shining example
to us all.

they can create a city for 2+ million people with $86 billion but haven't offered any to asylum seekers, I wonder why.
