Action needs to be taken now but no government has the nerve to tackle the problem, they just kick it down the road for future generations to deal with later.

Same the world over of course. What should we do? Restrict the number of kids people have? Very strict immigration laws? Get ruthless with the benefits system? The usual handwringing cupcakes will whinge no doubt, but something needs to be done.

I fear for my kids and when they have kids...If nothing happens, where will it end? Jeez, where I live the amount of housing popping up is startling. Too many cars on the road as one result, it takes twice as long to drive to the shops than even 3 years ago. A whole estate like a village has been built where my sister lives not far away, she is trapped at some times of day whether she turns left or right, it can take her 20-30 mins to get to the main road (300 metres) after a queue. Whoever thought that would be a good idea is looking quite a tw*t now nobody can move about by car!
Gone into hiding I guess, cos I'd love to have an open debate with those bellends, living in their big detached homes away from the mess.
We need a huge immigration reduction just for a start, which will make me a 'phobe' of some sort no doubt.

I worked all my days with no gaps and paid for my pension through NI contributions. There would be a massive surplus which is probably used to pay immigrants benefits.

New opinion polls, published today, show the Home Secretary is clearly out of touch with the public. Last week Alan Johnson told a House of Commons Committee that ‘he does not lie awake at night’ worrying that the population of the UK will reach 70 million and that he would not put a cap on the number of immigrants settling in the UK.

Little has changed since then.
Don't just blame Labour, they're only telling the truth.
Until we see a real fall in the numbers you can assume the Tories are as much in favour of unlimited immigration as Labour.
