Yes, your point about housing is valid. I was commenting on the premise that the Government’s judgement and position was likely based on the potential prospect of 2 million immigrants arriving on the 2nd July 1997, rather than over 13 years.

I totally agree with your observations about immigration and the debates in this country. They are, all too often, stifled by political correctness and over-sensitivity, where talking about immigration becomes a debate about race, and they really do not serve as useful debates at all. It is sad to see our politicians are afraid to have a sensible debate on this issue, and instead, they often adopt a circumlocutory position when questioned about these issues.

On a separate issue, Hoon’s treachery strikes again!!!!

Today’s Scotsman newspaper reports that all the other Scots regiments in Iraq are to be placed on standby to replace the Black Watch when they leave the nest of vipers before Christmas. This is a day after it emerges that the Scottish regiment amalgamation is to be brought forward to lessen the impact of the regiments’ supporters’ campaign while they are serving in a dangerous situation.

That’s just bloody great isn’t it? Yeah – let’s use all the Scots as cannon fodder, and then disband their regiments when they get home! That is the true definition of adding insult to injury.
