YES.
Here's the beginning of a serious outbreak of commonsense.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans."

We too have a problem with so-called immigrants, or asylum seekers. Some are very genuine, it is obvious the majority are economic refugees though. Most fall into a certain category though, whose basic doctrine is to conquer or convert the infidels and the world.

I thought the asylum rules were quite simple, you seek asylum in the first safe haven; now why would these people cross all the developed European countries to come to England?

We're not a "soft touch" since Mr Blair and his entourage keep telling us we are not.

Let me tell you a story, more as an on-topic illustration perhaps.

We have just received a 20 page gummint booklet,
http://www.preparingforemergencies.gov.uk/
a publication well advertised on all the terrestial channels and the 900 odd satelite ones too, which together with the printing and postage to EVERY household in the kingdom must have cost me a pretty penny.

It is an obvious scare-mongering tactic but cleverly takes the pubilc eye off the other balls that were causing so much consternation, it tells anyone with 5 or more brain cells absolutely NOTHING.

But the back page is informative, in the context of this thread:
"To obtain more copies of this booklet, translations or alternative formats, fill out this form. . . . . . . . ."
Her you may have up to 5 more copies, in:
Audio tape
Bengali
French
Large print
Chinese
Urdu
Braille
Arabic
Punjabi
English
Welsh
Somali
Gujarati
or
Greek
Kurdish
Farsi
Turkish
Vietnamese
and Hindi via the website.

To me this back page carries a message.
