Easy to get into Britain

Has anyone reading this letter ever tried or thought about emigrating to Australia? I have, and just looking at the forms you have to fill in I automatically knew my chance of starting a new life in Oz were zero.

The questions went along the lines: Do you have a skill or trade? Do you have a considerable amount in your bank account? Do you have relations living in Australia who, if need be, would support you? Do you have a criminal record? Plus a lot more in-depth questions. I knew from not having a trade and a good bank balance I had no chance.

Then there's Britain. What do you need to come and start a new life here? Just turn up or get smuggled into the country and plead asylum - job done, no questions asked. This Labour government will look after you better than its own people.

According to Blair and Co, when Europe opened its borders two years ago, they said between 13,000 and 15,000 would come here to work each year. The figures out recently said 500,000, and that's not counting the 250,000 self-employed people who have come here.

They said they got their estimates wrong. I tell you what - I would hate one of Blair's mob to come and estimate by gas bill.

Labour won't admit that asylum and immigration is out over control over the past ten years they have been in power.

They are still blaming the Tories for this backlog in asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, and they haven't been in power for ten years.

Mr Blair, I am sick of your fairytales. These are like the ones I tell my daughters just before I put them to bed. I know they aren't real, but I just hope my kids believe them to keep them happy and quiet, but you can't keep the British public quiet anymore, Mr Blair. We are sick of you and your ten years of disastrous government.
