• The British government

  by Linz on May 30, 2006

  Is it just me or is everyone else getting sick and tired of the media slagging off the government? :o I know they've done stupid things...like John Prescott (the deputy prime minister) having an affair with one of his secretaries. But do we even have a right to know? :o I know they're running our country, but they're also like everyone else, private lives should be kept private. And the media seem absolutely hell-bent on bringing down the entire government :?
  Like, when the guy in charge of illegal immigrants said that he had no idea how many illegal immigrants there are in the country, the media went berserk! 8O of course he's not going to know how many illegal ones are in the country, that's why they're illegal :roll: They aren't going to come forward and register themselves as illegal! :lol:
  So why all of a sudden are they trying to find every little thing wrong with the government that they possibly can? It's driving me mad! :o
  Tony Blair's not a bad PM, he's just made to look bad :|
  
  Does anyone else think this too?

  [color=#00008B]lmao, well. we have had many a discussion about the media in this country :P
  
  but in this instance i support them. Not at all with the Prescott affair stories, they simply were not justified, it's his private life he has not commited a crime, its not the business of the press to reveal what does. :o
  
  but as for the illegal workers, well. I think that is the story which the media should be persuing and reporting on. because it's a mess. i don't believe they should have scaked the bloke they did (i think he was the Home Secretary, but i am not fully sure) because it was his mess and I believe that only he knew EXACTLY what he had done wrong, so he should know how to put it right.
  
  But, as you know, I do support Tony Blair and i do think the Media are blaming the wrong man for all the problems in the Government :o [/color]

  You can blame them for not knowing about illegal immigrants tho, that's impossible, but that guy (I have no idea who he is lol :lol: ) shouldn't have let all those criminal people free to roam our country! 8O but without them, our economy would be crap so you can't exactly blame them either :o

  [color=#00008B]damn you. i was oging to say something about the economy :( :lol:
  
  but the point that the media are making, is that when people come into our country in order to work, they need to have legal documents, but many illegal's simply didn't have them. and yet, still found work. i think the main problem is that it was so easy for them to illegally work here. :o And also, many illegal people were released from Prison who should have been deported, and that is where the number's game got involved. because the Government SHOULD know how many people released from prisons should have been deported.
  
  It's all really complicated though :o
  
  But i want to take this opportunity to say how wonderful our Country is, that people are desperate to come here. People are desperate to make a life for themselves in this country because it is so well run. 8) [/color]

  Oh I know, the people in prison should have been deported, totally agree! :o but the fact is, we need illegal immigrants, and it just goes to show how hard it is for people to come legally here :o
  
  ditto 8) I love this country 8)

  [color=#00008B]hmm, "we need illegal immigrents" :o there's a debate in itself! :o i agree to a point though, we do need these people. but i think our laws are rightly strict on who gets asylum and who doesn't :o
  
  It's hard not to :D [/color]

  [color=#00008B] :lol: without trying to make the thread too chatty, i had the image there of you with a clipboard and a little prober with every immigrent all lined up. with you probing them and saying "ok. this one will do" :lol:
  
  We really do need them though. So long as they are willing to work and live peacefully in our country, then they shouldn't be too much of a problem :o [/color]

  They don't really cause much of a problem. They're just desperate to come here and work :o which is fair enough, if I were in their situation I'd probably try anything I could to get here too :D It tends to be the Brits that cause the trouble lol :lol:
