Wait a minute, would that make me an illegal immigrant? If we were not in the EU we would not be able to go work in other European countries with such ease. The two world wars were a hated time in our history by all those involved and our united Europe is supposed to stop wars like this from happening again. All this talk about immigrants coming to this country, (UK), what was the Brittish Empire?, how many countries did the BE invade?, how many Brits remained as illegal immigrants in those countries? The only reason I believe that the number of people coming to this country should be curtailed is because this is a small island, a tiny speck on the map, and we really don't have enough room for our own population never mind having an influx from elsewhere. In the UK there are terrible housing shortages and to buy a house is well outside what many can afford. Also counsil housing, housing from associations and from private landlords is severely lacking, so people of this country have a hard time finding somewhere to live never mind folk coming here from abroad. When the poodle first appeared I thought it was a breath of fresh air but now he has us dangling from a noose, has endangered the lives of everyone here, and distanced us from those closest to us. The world is not a safe place but we do not need politicians making things more dangerous, and I would really like to see all heads of state that we have at present removed from office. Ok rant over, if anyone can make any sense of this please let me know so I can find my bearings again. 8) Catlin
