Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
I cannot understand Nigel making that statement and he did not give a figure of how many we should allow in.If it was decided to let the Syrians in there would be many fake passports made purporting to be Syrian.My son is visiting at the moment he lives down South.He works for this outfit where they go into different business premises.A Romanian works with them who never takes a tea break or lunch hour.Some months ago they were working in an office and the head of security found a lap top in the Romanians bag as nobody was there at the time it was decided that it could not be proved that the Romanian had put it in there so he got a walk over and all the lads stood behind him.Blow me some months later they were on another job and the Romanian was seen on cctv robbing gear, the company could've lost the contract and all hands would've been out of work.The Romanian was earning about £800.pw but they still have to thieve it's part of their make up.I'm wondering when he did'nt take tea breaks or a lunch hour he was probably around the building doing a bit of theiving.
Regards.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
As anyone who reads what I post knows , I don't trust Nigel Farage , he is a bit of a chancer in my opinion , I think he reckons that we will as a nation admit Syrians , then he will claim that David Cameron does what Nigel tells him to do , I think he is slipier than a oiled Panamanian bar girl

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
Rob to be honest UKIP could never form a government and run the country but what they are doing is causing mischief and keeping the two main parties on their toes as to what the electorate want.I think that the Lib/Dems will finish a bad fourth in the next election.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
I exercise my vote as a privilege , the late aged parent was very strong on votes being a privileged grant not a right . He was from a Derbyshire Mining Industry background and had inbuilt Trades Union Principles , I have got to the stage where I don't like what Milliband represents , and feel Brown / Blair were not good for the UK , my pension pot lost 1/3rd of its value because of some of their economic stunts , I feel Cameron / Osborne are good for the economy , despite feeling the chill wind personally , I regard the lib Dems as a waste of space , Clegg has already said he will change sides if that gives him some power , why vote for the middleman , I see no point . and Lord Such is dead , I shall vote in 2015 , but beggered if I knoow which idiot will get my approval . Our local MP ( Meon Valley ) is a good local MP , so he favourite , I will vote for any of them that will reduce the numbers in both houses to less than 1000

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.

I don't see why we need so many MP's lets face it over 70% of the rules are made by the EU. In any other industry they would have down sized by now.
