all i seem to see in this thread is finger pointing and people trying to blame other people, minority's, forgeners and people of other races for their problems. granted the government does seem to give alot of liberties to an out of state person alot of liberties when it comes to handouts and i'm not saying that's right but to be honest would you rather see them having to resort to stealing to get this stuff as to be fair it's alot harder to get a job when you do not have an address or transportation to get to work, so i can see where the government is coming from handing out all of this stuff. maybe they could do it in a different manner maybe give them as a loan or make them pay them off over time.
as for stealing , begging Etc. there are bad people in every culture, just so happens that it's alot more noticeable when it's a groupe of out of towns people to be doing it as they are being watched already. i guarantee there are more nationals scamming and stealing at this very moment, it's all down to numbers. granted if someone is coming for that reason alone then they should be drop kicked home.
their buy British policy and cutting down on foreign goods, that is good for certain produce like food etc but for other goods (electronics Etc. ) it's simply infeasible, the same people that are complaining about the foreigners are garrenteed at this very moment to be wearing some sort of clothing and jewellery that were made abroad, and more than likely using a foreign manufactured or contain foreign manufactured goods piece of equipment this very moment to reply to this very thread. as soon as you have a ban/restriction on imports it makes a closed economy with monopoly's and rising prices and i guarantee you that every person in here will complain about the price. another factor would be that the same countries that are not allowed to sell good in your country will no doubt return the favour.
it is very easy indeed to jump on the band wagon of any party with a different ways of thinking in times of hardship, way too easy in fact. almost all of the major what would be considered " bad " parties and dictations in history have in fact used this exact fact to take power, the Nazi's when Germany was chrippeled by world war 1, Napoleon Bonaparte after the French revolution crippled France, Ba'ath Party in Iraq after the country turned into a country controlled by the oil company's and people were not getting a cent out of it just to name a few, it's all too easy to fall into the radical way of thinking is better frame of mind but it usually all ends in tears.
Another resipreicating though in this thread seems to be, I don't agree with all of their policy's but i agree with some, i'm going voting for them. why in the hell would you vote a party into power if you do not agree with their core policies. it's like saying i hate the potholes in the road, but the local counsellor said he'll fix them all at any cost, just because no one else said it you think i'll vote for them, next thing you know they are knocking your house and your mothers who lives next door to build a new motorway. all of this because you didn't read into it and find out what exactly they had planned and because they said they would do something no one else would.
what alot of people don't realise there is a very fine juggling act that any government has to do to deal with other countries and what them countries think of yours. the fact is if every country hates yours then they are going to hike up prices to exports to yours, hike up prices for imports from your country, tell people not to go there ad you'll be too afraid to leave the country because you will not be accepted anywhere. all of that comes to a deep deep recession that's alot harder to get out of than it was to get into, your economy crashes and you are all complaining because there are no jobs in the country and you can't leave the country because no matter where you go you'll see a " NO ( insert your country name here ) "
as for their plans for Ireland, i'm afraid that is beyond laughable.
