Two passports a minute are given to foreigners as 1.5m issued since Labour elected

Officials approved a record 203,865 citizenship applications, 58 per cent more than in 2008 and in the final three months of 2009, 61,715 student visas were issued – an astonishing rise of 92 per cent on the same period in 2008.

Another 190,000 immigrants were given the right to settle in the UK in 2009 – a rise of 30 per cent on the year before.

Home Office figures show that 1.5million foreigners have become UK citizens since Labour came to power.

Jeweller told to remove 'racially offensive' sign from shop

Jeweller, Michael Plant has been given a police warning for ‘racially offensive’ conduct after placing a sign in his shop window reading 'Sorry, we do not serve Eastern Europeans or Gypsies.’

Mr Plant of Altrincham in Cheshire, who has run the3 shop for the [past 22 years has been told to take the sign down or face prosecution for race hate crime. Mr Plant who has been targeted by foreign thieves, reported to be Romanian travellers, said:

I'm not racist, but the fact is I have been targeted repeatedly by Eastern European criminals and I should have a right to say which people come into my shop and not face allegations of racial discrimination.

I should be able to choose who I serve. That's not just Eastern Europeans - if someone comes in drunk they will not be served either.

All I want is some common sense approach to what we have. The police are reactive rather than proactive to crime, they wait for it to happen before they solve it rather than the other way round.

I think these Romanians and Eastern European criminals are letting their fellow countrymen down. Obviously I don't think all of them are bad, but how can I distinguish who is good and who is bad?

I've got a foreign wife and we have foreign friends. But some people coming in to this country illegally seem to have more rights than me.

He went on to say:

They always say they're Spanish, but they aren't. I speak more Spanish than them!

They use distraction techniques like a child running around, and they get away with your stock. One morning I lost nine bracelets, worth well into four figures.

I think they must pass our name around because about every five to six weeks I get another group of people, two or three to four, sometimes with or without children.

Their English is very poor. They always have gold teeth.
The men always dress very flamboyant with suits, they look as if they are trying to fit in with pointy shoes on, but unfortunately they go over the top and fail.

They come in and ask for something and we usually haven't got it. Last Saturday we got a visit from another 'disadvantaged' pair from a 'disadvantaged' group and the result was that we lost some jewellery to them.

I've reported incidents to the police in the past. I've had several robberies over the years and the capture of criminals is very low.

I'm sick and tired of a country where if I put a sign on the door, I'm told I'm in flagrant disregard of the discrimination act, which would result in me going to high court being given a fine and a slap on the wrist and end up with a criminal record.

I bet if these people are caught for stealing, they probably wouldn't even go into a magistrates court. They would just get a fixed penalty fine and that would be paid by one of the human rights organisations. The tax-payer pays for it all.

I've spoken to various people, including foreign friends of mine, and they seem to agree that the whole country is belly-up.

They're quicker than Paul Daniels. It's a couple of hundred pounds (each time) and that's under my insurance excess.

Police said the Mr Plant had fallen foul of the Race Relations Act which recognises gypsies and travellers as ethnic groups.

Well, Mr Plant, your words speak for us all. Stick to your guns and keep that sign flying high!

70% OF NEW JOBS TAKEN BY FOREIGNERS

It’s official!

70% of new jobs are taken by foreigners.

According to today’s Guardian, when referring to a factory in Llanelli, Wales:

‘Agency workers are said to make up 30% of the factory workforce, and to be paid less than local permanent staff, employed on poorer terms with no guarantee of work, even though some of them are semi-permanent. Agency workers are on so called "zero hours contracts" which means they can be required to work from 5pm to 3am and, they allege, be made to stay on for overtime until 6am at the same basic minimum wage rate one day, but laid off without notice the next. Permanent workers have guaranteed work and are paid a premium for overtime.’

But this is just a drop in the ocean according to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s figures which were taken between March 1997 and March 2007. The OECD revealed that 70% of jobs created under the Labour Government have been taken by foreign-born workers. 1.5million of the 2million jobs created in the first ten years of Labour rule were taken by people born abroad; work permits to non-EU nationals have been handed out in record numbers ever since.

The OECD states that ‘around a third of the migrant workers arrived here on controversial intracompany transfers’. This system allows international companies to transfer their staff to the UK for ‘limited periods’. The truth is that staff can stay for up to three years, followed by a two-year extension, and finally an application for settlement. The offending companies do not have to advertise the posts in the UK first.

When Labour came into power in 1997, 42,800 permits were handed out; 2007 saw 129,700 approvals and in 2008, a further 151, 653 issued despite hundreds of thousands of British workers losing their jobs. Don't forget these are non-EU permits. There are currently nearly 4million migrant workers in the UK

There are now 2.26million people unemployed in the UK, compared with 2.03 in January 2009. Economists predict that number will rise to over 3million next spring. So WHY is the government encouraging even more foreigners to come here? We know we are not benefiting from mass immigration.

You only have to look around our hospitals to see that!
