It isn't going to be pleasant and it isn't going to be easy but it's got to be done the situation in some areas is already creating issue's and it's spreading to more areas.

We have had a period of austerity we have crumbling public services and communities that have had their entire balance interfered with creating unnecessary social tension. All because one group of cretinous politicians wanted to play a big social experiment thank you new labour and gutless politicians afterwards thank you conservatives that did nothing beyond rhetoric to correct it.
Some of us have been saying that for years. It's quite evident from around the globe that this scale of uncontrolled migration creates serious pressures and tensions. These were masked during the so called 'boom' years but now things have been much tougher economically, the problems are becoming much more apparent and they're only going to get worse. There's not only the tensions with the host population but between the myriad of nationalities who've been allowed to come here in large numbers bringing their rivalries with them. Not exactly a recipe for quiet co-existence...

It's quite evident that there's been no foresight applied to this problem and migration has been used by successive governments to suit themselves - Labour in terms of social engineering but both parties in their blind pursuit of increased GDP the 'easy' way. Forget the difficult stuff like productivity, lets just expand the population to make the number grow. If we thought we had an age/pensions time bomb a decade ago, well it's going to get a lot worse and the answer is to have controlled migration but to restrict those who are allowed to remain and gain citizenship rights. That's the unpalatable reality and the longer we leave it the harder it will be to tackle these problems.

The same applies to the mass migration we are seeing in Europe and elsewhere. It can't be allowed to continue because there are countless millions around the globe who'd like a new life somewhere else and the more who're taken in, the more will come, the more desperate they will be and the harder they will fight to be accepted. What we have now is chaos which is being exploited by people traffickers and causing many economic migrants to take their chances. We can't accept them all but where are our leaders in deciding at what point enough has to be enough?
