Makes me wonder what the solution to all of this actually is?

I've repeatedly stated my belief that Cameron's long term intentions are to take us back to a Victorian like society and all the social injustices and inequalities that go with it.

For what? I was on your side and you bit my head off!
If you don't want to be taken seriously then that's fine, your doing a good job of it.
you are something else you realy are. How dare you..learn to read if your going to read between the lines. The people who tried to save those poor little girls,some as young as 11,were subjected to people like you,calling them racist. You are a slanderer and you do not care.

Really? Because I have agreed with you on your points. I think that on that front you think quite similarly to me... Until you said I was like one of the people who didn't accuse asian men of pedophilia... The fact that you read that paper is also a pretty bad sign... You haven't really given me a lot to go on showing that your a cultured man who doesn't judge people on race, also you seem like a very angry man which is also negative points. Which takes me back to my original statement, you don't do a good job at not appearing racist, I offered you some advise to rectify that since you seem mega offended at being called prejudice and you threw it back in my face.edit on 20-12-2013 by iRoyalty because: (no reason given)

Hmm ok.. I'm going to leave to it, I only offered you some advice, I can't believe you blew it out the water like this.
Peace.

The findings from the Institute for Fiscal Studies conclude that those born in the 60’s and 70’s ‘are facing a triple whammy of meagre pay rises, inadequate pensions and soaring property prices’. All of which means that they will have less financial security in their old age, than their parents or those born in the decades before them.
There is a very simple reason for that.
Rather than extending the benefits, rights and freedoms won by UK citizens in the post WWII period, subsequent generations sold them away instead.
UK Moving Backwards: Half a Century of Social Progress Reversed in Last Decade
An interesting article - it concentrates on eth role of unions as a check against the power of large companies, and points out that they have been pretty much the only way "the ordinary people" have had of effectively conducting any oversight of large corporations.
I know a lot of people on ATS are anti union - however they still remain (IMO) the only practical means "ordinary folk" have of influencing corporations - clearly Govt's these days are more interested in appeasing corporations than reigning them in!!
And the "conspiracy movement" (for want of a better term) might do well identifying many of the excesses of corporations, but it fails to effectively oppose them, and also often muddies the waters with a vast amount of BS concealing the real issues.

I see...and the burdensome cost of entitlement programs has nothing to do with it? The same type of entitlement programs that are dragging the rest of the euros down.....
Sooner or later you have to pay the piper....nothing is free.

Across OECD countries is one thing.
In the UK is another, as the Financial Times shows.
The thing is, The British people who had lost their jobs to immigrants would have paid more tax than the immigrants who took their jobs....because they would have been paid more.
Its just spin that people are falling for.
If a tradesman here has a living standard and mortgage based on his earnings, what do you think happens when immigrants come here and compete and work for half of what that tradesman earns ???
This is not normal/natural immigration, this is mass economic immigration which can only lead to decreased wages and living standards, and where people will lose their homes, which will lead to higher rents (supply and demand) making matters even worse.

where did l state it was the cause of all problems?

All the ills on this thread just happen to occur with the influx of immigrants.
You remind me of the people invoved in this case..
Why? Because I'm telling you that if you say things to empower white people and knock down immigrants you might sound racist??

The British had enough of the unions after what went on the seventies. It abused the system, and some big companies went under due to strike action. British Leyland, for example. The whole system was being messed up by a few power crazed union leaders whipping up trouble.
