They did spout the same old propaganda regarding the health service, what they forgot to mention was that thousands of our newly trained doctors and nurses cannot get jobs here and have had to seek employment abroad. Also the rubbish about British people being too lazy to work, the truth is they cannot afford to take these low paid jobs as the wages wouldn't cover basic living costs, the foreigners that take these jobs live ten or more to a house so their living costs are greatly reduced and because of our strong pound the monies they send to their home countries is worth a hell of a lot more so of course those Poles are eager to work. And the Pakistani youth saying it was due to racism that he couldn't get a job, funny how the Indians don't have the same problem finding employment!

I felt very sorry for those school children having their education stunted by having to accommodate non English speaking immigrant children and also for those people on housing waiting lists, oooh that made my blood boil!

General election soon...

Tara, it was reasonable and it did speak a lot of truth.

The Portugese part suprised me, I live in the North Bradford/Halifax/Keighley and they are not a problem.

The Bradord part was underplayed but accurate with the selection of people they interviewed.

The Somalians are the lowest of the low, they come from a war torn country and are just gangsters.

All in all, apart from NOT discussing criminality brought in by immgrants and asylum seekers it raised some good points.

The Nigerian part was 'glossed over'. They are smart but responsible for worldwide fraud and drugs.
