O/T boston crime stats

[amberarmy]

this topic may as well be locked as clearly the people who seem not to be bothered by mass immigration seem to be constantly missing the point

its about our public services who do not receive extra funding from the EU or anywhere else in the world and yet are expected to find extra jobs,extra school places,extra hospital beds,extra places at GP surgeries etc.

it is indeed admirable that people are willing to move hundreds and thousands of miles from home to establish a better life for themselves - i know i couldn't do it

stop trying to turn this into a racist 'them and us' discussion and address the real issue of how this country can provide the extra services needed for the ever increasing population

I think most of us agree with amberarmy on the funding issue .
As a supporter (now EX ) of the tories we at boston have been served appallingly by our MP Mark Simmonds .  Sitting in a safe Tory  seat he has took advantage of this and settled  for the comfort zone of being a yes man to the tory chiefs rather than fight to serve all locals whatever race .
His policy has left Boston grossly underfunded but has got Simmonds made up to foriegn office minister . A good payoff for a poor MP with a easy seat .
Intead of propoesed march through Boston a successful lobby to de-select Simmonds before the next election would be of more benifit to the town .

With Simmonds in the foriegn office and Blair middle east Peace Envoy prepare for World war 3 .

Agreed. Shall we say anyone who has more than 2 is deported? Or what about the elderly, can't we pack them off somewhere once they retire let's say anyone over 70. How about the disabled, or overweight or smokers? If it's only about public services then there are lot's of people who we'd be much better getting rid of who are just a drain on resources and never put anything back in.

I can see your point Woad and frustration.  I think smokers are worth helping afterall they pay a lot of tax on their fags and then save us all a lot of cash by not hanging around very long to collect pensions.  The overweight have presumably eaten a lot of food and are effectively economically active consumers. They frequent supermarkets and pay VAT.  I would limit reproduction based on IQ.   Mind you there are a lot of smarty-poohs out there who are also feckless and lazy. Editor.

Any ideas?
