Brian if our own people could be bothered to get up off their ass and go out and vote no foreign people would have a chance of getting their way.

Re: Invasion
Should be compulsary voting,. But the Party that brings in that law will not get the votes,
.
. I have just got my Council Tax Bill for this coming financial year, It has gone up a lot. more than my pension increase. So that has been wiped out.
My house has been reduced 50% in value due to my neighbours. My neighbours are all on Benefits so they do not pay Council tax. [ and all recieved free Gas Boilers, I cannot have one.]
They have turned lovely houses and gardens into Slums.
I once lived in a lovely Des Res area, now it is a ghetto slum.
I complain to my town Councillors, they are from the same country as my neighbours so are not impressed with my complaints.
Next,
I pay Income Tax on my miserable Pension, When I pay Council Tax, State Tax has already been deducted from my income,
So I am paying Tax on my Council Tax. That is double taxation, tax on tax.
So why can we not claim Council Tax as a Deductable allowance against State Tax.??
A not so happy Brian.

In the main it is about choice, I would like to decide for myself what I am eating, After consuming a meal, overheard a conversation at the counter as I was leaving, chap ask if the meat was Halal. He was answered with "All our meat is Halal sir"

Re: Invasion
If you go to the KFC website , some KFCs are Halal outlets . It is a lot more widespread than I thought , and I had understood that EU regulations , even for Halal required Pre stunning , apparently not so . Bolt stunned beef is not allowed , and there is at present no other stunning method for cattle . I would and do eat Halal meat , as in NZ Lamb , but I do like to Know , and have the choice

Re: Invasion
Why do these refugees from Turkey and Syria want to come here?
They are Mu Slims, I would have thought they would have gone to Saudi Arabia , They are the ones who started the revolution in Syria. Saudi is a very rich Nation and can afford to take them , They have the same language, they have the same customs, they have the same religion, they have plenty of Mo sques, so what is their problem???
Why should we have to take them in.? All the refugees I see are young men. Never see babies or very old ladies.
I believe the young men who are all of a fighting age, teens, 20s to 30s are the foot soldiers of Is lam awaiting the call for the ji had. maybe our stupid polies cannot see that.
Yesterday four people arrested near me on terrorists charges and making bomb equipment for Syria one is a Science Teacher. They are amongst us, why do we need to import more of them.??

Because Brian if they go there they will have to abide by the rules of the land. In UK they can make their own.
