[i]The Management
If you think everyone that comes here is a terrorist, murderer, stab crazy criminal - are you not in the least interested in the fact that we have no police any more?[/i] Absolute nonsense. Double the number of police officers and it wouldn't make any difference to what's going on in London. But that aside to just dismiss the mass immigration we've suffered is, at best, naïve. That and that alone is the reason for the increased violence. |

Not sure where I have dismissed "the mass immigration we have suffered" - I just keep saying that while you obsess totally, solely and only on that to the absolute exclusion of everything else - (You have actually written "That and that alone is the reason for the increased violence.") that is how obsessed you are! - you are being thoroughly and repeatedly shafted by people that are very happy for you to be focused solely on that while they shaft you again and again.
But fair play to you - obviously it's not as complex as I thought - all the issues with education, health, police, transport, etc, etc, etc. can all be solved with a three word slogan printed on the front of an EDL t-shirt. It's all clear to me now. No need for any further discussion. Sleep well. |

So many words and yet apart from insulting people you actually say nothing substantial.
Quite an achievement fella, you are to be congratulated. |

By:
Sorry it was too many words for you. I will come up with a three word chant so you can understand.

The management - I'm not sure I see a connection between transport and knife crime . Please elaborate .

It would appear to me as usual there is some confusion about knife crime. So Asda is to stop selling kitchen knives.
“We know single knives are the most common knife products to be stolen and that is why we have chosen to remove these items from our stores. Captains of Industry! I hear in the USA the NRA have finally made a concession on Gun Control. They have backed a ban on selling spud guns to under 11's! |

The management - I'm not sure I see a connection between transport and knife crime . Please elaborate . If you can't understand what i have said already I am afraid I probably can't help you further! For akabula and co. - Fiddle Rome Burns is my 3 word slogan. If you can't see that for every hour of "air time" immigration ("savages with knives") gets 58 minutes - I give up! The government is laughing at you - because only 2 minutes remain to hold them to account for: Our roads resembling those of a 3rd world country Classrooms with 30+ pupils (6 of whom have special needs) because all the special needs schools are being closed (pretend your policy is diversity and inclusion rather than austerity). Bins collected once per month Health service that's so under resourced it needs you to "come back when you are felling better" Street-lighting that goes off when it gets dark Police numbers decimated No parents at home as both now need to work to afford just the basics (claim this is about feminism/equality). Also allows you to boast that there are more people in work than ever before. It's true, because nobody can afford to be a parent anymore. No real jobs for our young people etc, etc, etc. Sorry if that's too many words for the slogan chanters. It's probably better if we all get back to "discussing" immigration and Brexit ad infinitum and allow the govt of the day to get on (unchallenged) with decimating all of the above. Fiddle Rome Burns. |

Hands up those of us prepared to pay a lot more tax to pay for your list.

Plenty of people around who do not pay their fair share injera. Lets start with them.
Google, Amazon, Cafe Nero and Starbucks just to start with! Off shore trust funds, education and maintenance trust funds, Off shore Companies. Maybe we can reduce the burden of taxation on Companies who pay fair and square if the Double Dutchers play fair! |

Tax is the price you pay for living in a civilised society.
Got a situation currently (under a party supposedly believing in low tax & small government) where the average voter is paying more in direct/indirect taxation than ever before - but unfortunately corporation tax is now optional. |

WD - Some captain of industry will be along in a minute to explain that it's ok for Google, Amazon, Starbucks, etc to "avoid" all of their obligations to society - because of all the "new" jobs they have created and that all of those employees pay tax.
But you have to work a lot of hours at £7.38 per hour to reach the tax threshold. |

Agreed too many big boys avoid tax. I'd also like to see Govt do better at not wasting zillions on everything they touch!
The Garden Bridge for example!! Forking out millions on a project that never happened  The Garden Bridge Trust, which managed the project since November 2015, was accused of “squandering public money” on the ill-fated venture, after Transport for London admitted that the project racked up costs of £53m. Taxpayers will foot a £43m bill after the bulk of the money was underwritten by TfL and the Department for Transport. Documents released today revealed that the Trust spent £400,000 on a gala dinner and £160,000 on its website. http://www.cityam.com/273188/revealed-final-cost-boris-botched-garden-bridge-project |
