We waited for a council house for 3 years 1945 to 1948 . You got preference if you were a displaced person, today a more modern term would be an illegal immigrant. How do you think Mr,. Corbyn will view the allocation of these soon to be ghettoes he hopes to emulate. JWS.

john we already have no go areas is every city in this country since the grooming gangs came to light that by the way the police had known about for years before any action was taken it would have been bad publicity for home grown and immigrants if it reached the press so it was kept quiet I did notice none of their own race was raped or proper justice would have been handed out? the problem is they will not mix my nephew has a Indian girl in his class she was 14 at the time she was terrified the family had planed a holiday back in India and she may have been the reason she was scared she would be married off now this is the 21st century. if she was to fall for a British born white boy the family could have murdered her like is done often here? so you want to be a British person born here but India takes preference over your life surly you cant have both they want to live here but don't want to belong here? jp

Re: Corbyn V May Channel 4 8.30 pm tonight.
I've been saying much the same for quite a while now John I'm under no false illusions about Brexit, it will without doubt
cause more austerity and maybe for longer than we think, a lot of people only think of today, I voted Brexit for our tomorrows,
I'm convinced the country will be far better off once we are free from the EU and the dust has settled, whether I'm here or not
to see the benefits who knows but I am sure todays kid will reap the benefits in a few years time. The negotiations haven't
even started yet and already we have Macron banging his drum vowing to fight for French fishermen's right to fish in UK waters, and then the Italians ranting about us holding them to ransom, this is all because we will not be pouring money into
the EU kitty, as corporal Jones famously said, "they don't like it up em", we can only hope our negotiating team will put up a
strong resistance to their demands and not make concessions we will regret later, I don't trust any politicians whoever they
are, over the years I've seen far too many lies and broken promises none tell the truth only what they want you to believe
and that is usually to their advantage, for instance TM is insisting that she called the snap election for Brexit reasons, we all
know full well she did it for the party and herself as they all thought Labour would be a walkover and she would increase her
majority tenfold, there's nothing wrong with that but why lie about it?, my dad used to say "you know where you are with a thief but you never know where you are with a liar, in my view all politicians are liars, some more clever than others. John F

The apparent reversal comes after Theresa May was forced to U-turn on the “dementia tax” care policy – introducing a cap at the last minute as her Tory poll trickled away amid the backlash.
Oh yes, the dementia task? I'd forgotten about that one.!!!

Ian Duncan Smith on BBC news this morning said, 'what we are trying to get away with in our manifesto' Freudian slip of gargantuan proportions.

Re: Corbyn V May Channel 4 8.30 pm tonight.
just a thought how many people die before pension age people who have paid in for years and never lived to benefit from an old age pension the money just goes into the coffers of the government same as road tax vat excise duty and many others I was in an industry were pensions were more or less non existent construction when the job finished then you did so you had work from job to job no long term employment I worked all over the country for different firms and jobs so getting a stable pension system did not work I get a state pension I paid in out of my wages but I am not worried if anything happens? no one is thrown out on the streets we made the state in our years of tax and NI ..jp

J.P.
Are you referring to the young Indian girl who was raped by her cousin? and when she reported the rape to her village council in the Indian village where she lived, she was sentenced to death by that council for having sex out of marriage.
And we have millions of them with the same views living amongst us here!!!!!!
