I find much of the negative reaction to Mr. Cameron's comments to be perplexing. I wonder why there is not more vocal opposition to the large influx of foreign immigration to Britain. After all, have the English lost all pride in being English? With the growing numbers of people there whose cultures are so alien, even inimical, to Western values, it seems to me England will soon lose much of its Englishness. I can't understand why people tolerate this (partly, I suppose I mean, by voting Labour). Also, as a Canadian of British extraction, why would I want to vacation in an England that increasingly looks like Toronto or New York?

The Tory Immigration minister admitted that immigration is higher than forcasted. They now admit that something has to be done to curb the influx of migrants...
They are careful that such a policy is a delicate subject in case support grows for the BNP. Now.... Didn't the BNP realise this all along.. But the BNP are "extremists" according to the Tory immigration minister... Extreme measures are now needed to solve this problem, I'm afraid...

Basil, maybe "economic growth" is not the most important thing in people's lives?

I think the "government" would do well to learn this too.

Matt ODonnell, London,

Imagine the UK with no immigrants!
Who is going to serve us delicious authentic Indian, Chinese, Italian, Lebanese..etc.
Who is going to man the petrol stations, who will operate the food chains, burger bars.
Doctors (3 out of 7 are from a multicultural background), nurses (I don't know when was it last I saw an English nurse in hospital).
Nannies, Maids, home helps, cab and bus drivers, hotel and airport staff, IT staff from India and other highly skilled staff (needless to say more).
If we close our doors how are we deal with the shortages we have, perhaps outsource everything overseas like the call centres!!

It's not before time someone spoke up about this.

Why should Britain be turned into a concrete jungle to accomodate millions of non British people?

Sorry, i'm not supporting that.

Richard Drayton, Bromley,

Whether it's good for the UK or not, if the majority of the public don't want such high levels of immigration (which, I suspect is the case), then the Government should work to support that desire - it's called democracy.
By denying this, you create a hostile environment of disenfranchised citizens - as happened in Germany in the 1930s.

"Fri 26th Oct LONDON (Reuters) - Government house-building targets are insufficient to stave off a housing crisis, an independent body says."

Perhaps stopping the influx of migrants might help stave off this crisis?

W Smith, Oldham,

I believe the solution is simple:

No Benefits + No Free-Housing = Better Education * No Job Stability = Better Services & Living Standards

Claire, Cambridge, UK

Basil of Cambridge, Immigrants benefit UK economy £6BN, Immigrants COST economy £8.8BN extra police/NHS/Education. Get real man we are full, like the planet, too many people not enough space or services.

Rob Wright, Nottm,

It is amazing how the British public is slowing turning against immigration when immigration and foreign workers in UK is what sustains the high levels of productivity and economic growth. The British political leaders know this but they have no guts to say it aloud. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS UK CANNOT SUSTAIN THE STANDARD OF LIVING WE ALL ENJOY TODAY.

Basil, Cambridge,

Immigration is whats making our NHS, Education and Economy suffer. If it continues the problems will get far worse and unimaginable. Then again, who is going to believe that Immigration is whats causing the problems in our Health service etc.

The UK should simply close its doors! who is going to stop us? lol honestly, who can tell us British what to do? * forgot, everyone already does * The most simplest things to solve all our problems are the hardest.
