But look at the opposition he faced
The credibility issue I was referring to was his promise in 2010 which he failed for 5 years to deliver on.
Do you have no problem with this? Isn't this the type of thing which puts people off politicians?
If you can't deliver, don't promise it

Now you're asking a different question. Do I have a problem with it? Yes. Does it therefore follow that David Cameron is not credible? No, obviously not. There is no necessary link between the two.

Interesting .. so if a politician promises to do something and then 5 years later, the opposite is true then his "quality of being trusted and believed in" is surely diminished, at least in this policy area? There is a very necessary link between promising something for 5 years and delivering the exact opposite of what was promised.

Now you're re-defining yourself.
"surely diminished, at least in this policy area" is much more specific, and IMO rather narrower, than "credibility issue" as you said earlier.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
I know that people will say l am whinging about David Cameron - There is no chance of him or the coalition stopping Migration problems - Unless they close the gates. It will continue.
You only have to look at Tv Doc's and the way the migrants get across to these shores.
When l live in Hounslow, there is a Immigration Centre there. And its always a queue outside.
To Migrants, this country is a 'free' come in and bingo. And sad to say, this is happening each day. And this country, doesn't know where the migrants go.
We have to put in place the system they have in Australia
DC has no chance of stopping it

It was obvious that I was talking about immigration policy. I even spelled it out:

Re: Unstoppable migration?
If failing to deliver on 'promises' and honesty were any measure of anything meaningful in politics, Bliar would be in prison and not a multi-millionaire 'peace envoy' swanning around the world getting richer.

Just proves that Arthur never checks what he posts.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
For the pool of highly skilled people the coalition has made recruiting very difficult. I do not expect a solo Tory government (under the UKIP pressure) will improve the situation.
We have jobs, that we are allowed to only hire British/EU people, that lived at least 3-4 years in the UK. And we cannot fill them with good people, we hire monkeys because they lived here for at least 3-4 years.
On the other hand, we have few jobs that we are allowed to hire from OS/EU without the residency restriction, he have top candidates, 100 applicants for 1 job.
Why can't they do that for all skills? EU allows them to put restrictions on football clubs that a certain number of footballers have be home grown? I would love the FA's ratio of homegrown/others.
Or do I miss something like the tampon tax (0% in Ireland but 5% in the UK and we are not allowed to reduce it!)

Re: Unstoppable migration?
Sadly, l believe that most 'cheap' jobs will go to migrants, as the money they earn will probably be double as to what they will earn in there native country.
I believe that Migrants should only be allowed into this country - if they have a job and can prove it
If you watch Docs on Tv, on Immigration officers, if someone comes from abroad, and they say they are here to work - the officers check those details. If proved right they are allowed in on Visa's otherwise they are put on the first flight back home
This what should happen - IF THEY HAVE WORK, THEN FINE

If there is a skill shortage, people from outside the EU can apply for a employer-sponsored Tier 2 Visa.
