UKIP voters? Nasty homophobic manure eating creatures.
shame on the 50 people who say they wont vote
I think the UK needs a points based system same as Australia and I think the Republic should examine this too although the EU stifles that. Being realistic is more sensible than being idealistic. Realism is a means to an end, idealism...... well, we know, it needs to be tempered with realism otherwise the fight will be eternal. Chip away, a little at a time and the idealism and realism become one - the objective achieved. Infrastructure can only take so much and the UK infrastructure was built by the Victorians (mainly by our ancestors on their behalf) when the population of the UK was about 20 millions. Additionally unlimited immigration is detrimental to the welfare state and when saturation point is reached the mathematics prove that you can have one or the other - not both. If immigration to the UK continues at its present rate then the welfare state will cease to exist. Idealism sows the seeds but then realism must take over. If we look at the Republic in its present form the Irish identity is being maintained. My ancestors came over during the Great Migration when, using the Great Famine, the English tried to exterminate the Irish as a race but my great grandparents, my grandparents and parents still brought our family up to be Irish and I was educated in the Irish Catholic system. So although part of the Great Migration diaspora I still do not forget my ancestry (County Clare). But the UK is so saturated even the identity of the countries that make up the so-called Union are losing their identities. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the English and especially the Tories, but whilst Labour did much good for the Irish, if Labour keeps its present course England will suffer from the uncontrolled immigration which in turn may well be indirectly, or even directly, detrimental to the Irish. Whilst the EU was initially a remedy for many ills, it is starting to be the cause of many problems.
Sadly seems likes some IP readers, have a belief that some immigrant diasporas are more worthy than others. What makes them think in their wildest dreams, that the Irish are somehow safe and immune from Ukip's bigotry and racism?
Agree with Micheál. Shocked with such a high poll for UKIP. We need to be showing support for fellow EU citizens. If we don't, how long will it be before we go back to being in that boat as being the underbelly of British society again for just being here and being Irish. Where does the line stop?
I think both the tories and ukip are racist and could never consider voting for either,sadly too many of us are believing whats being written in the right wing press.
I am shocked to see the high number voting UKIP when as Irish emigrants we are the very people that UKIP seek to remove from Britain (regardless of what individual UKIPers say in front of the media). Plus as an emigrant group who have been on the wrong side of tabloid sensationalism we should surely be showing solidarity with other migrants rather than trying to close the door behind us?
