TWO HUNDRED more homes a day needed JUST for immigrants

The Citizen — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:04:35 +0000

It’s official, but swept under the carpet: 36% of new households will be a result of immigration so we will have to build, on average, 200 homes a day for the next 25 years just to house the extra population arising from immigration.

Even if house building were to increase by 25% over the current [...]

Tories privatise the nation, as planned. British people take the hit.

The Citizen — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:28:49 +0000

The effects of Tories privatising Britain are starting to hit home, and it’s the people who take the hit, not the rich or the bankers who created the problems.

Well, what did people expect when they voted Tory last year? Were they taken in by the nice green tree in their new logo? No [...]

Multiculturalism isn’t working: the immigration debate goes on

The Citizen — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 11:20:44 +0000

Multiculturalism isn’t working because we haven’t created the right conditions for it to succeed.

I wish all ethnicities and religions peace and prosperity, but if people come to live here they must fit into our way of life, not we into theirs. I integrate with immigrants every day: in my job, on the bus, in [...]

If you’re not religious, say ‘NO’

The Citizen — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 11:37:15 +0000

The census data on religion produced by the 2001 census gave a wholly misleading picture of the religiosity of the UK, cutting the number of non-religious people in half.

If you say you’re religious on the census and don’t really mean it, then you are treated by some sections of the media, churches, and even [...]

In one sense I can see what the Tories want to do: end the nonsense of giving taxpayer money to scroungers who are too work-shy to get a job.

In thousands of cases we subsidise, with obscene amounts of our money, those who have arrived in the [...]

Sinister school rules, official cover ups and a society that doesn't trust adults to be parents

1984 arrives in 2009: the State knows best, not its citizens

The world gone mad: No. 2378…

As if politicians and monarchy weren’t bonkers enough, what are we doing to parents and children these days?

This week a dinner lady at a village primary school was sacked for telling parents she was sorry their [...]

Another pay rise for the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-von Battenbergs

The Citizen — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:27:38 +0000

"Ooh look, everyone, it's raining taxpayer money again. Isn't one lucky?"

The Royal Family is to be exempt from any cuts in public spending next year when its civil list funding is settled for the next 10 years, says The Guardian.

MPs will be powerless to reduce the £7.9m a year paid under the [...]
