We're losing grip of our very own country.

I for one, proud to be a British citizen, there's only 3 other places I'd have rather grown up in than in Britain. The country's interesting and very long stretch of history. I could go on, and on.

But in recent times, the country's been going down hill. Fighting a losing battle to reclaim national identity, to claim jobs, to claim housing and so on because of Labour's 'YO! COME HERE, WE GOT FREE HOUSES, FREE MONEY AND FREE HEALTHCARE!'. So we had a huge influx of migrants from around the world. Some with skills that can be used, but far too many with no English skills, who have absolutely no interest in learning the language, and just want our money.

I'm not opposed to immigration, I believe it should be heavily capped. And have a regional point-based system to make sure skilled migrants are going to areas that need them. I don't appreciate the migrants who come over with no English skills, and just sit about all day doing fuck all whilst claiming benefits that could be going towards a British born family who need them most. I see anyone who was born in this country, a native to this country. As it's their homeland, regardless of their background. I'm not going to go all Nick Griffin on the subject, I believe if you've been born here. You're British, therefore should come before the Pakistani family in terms of housing, benefits and healthcare. But this isn't the case, it's apparently racist to think you should put your own people before those who are not born here. How incredibly bigot of me to think that.

Labour and the Political correctness brigade went all out to make sure migrants, and non nationals get everything before us, and anyone speaking out against it is instantly a Nazi, a racist and a bigot. They've stretched everything to their limits, mostly the NHS. The NHS which is in a lot of debt, because it has to spend so much on treatment. If we were to cut down the number of migrants, you'll see that the NHS's debt will begin to decrease, and over time go away.

Cutting immigration will save jobs. They're not entitled to minimum wage, so employers feel the best way to save money is cheap labour, through migrants who'll work their asses off. Because if you were an employer, and if a British born worker came up to you, and said I'll work for £10 an hour, 9-5, Monday to Friday, and a migrant comes up and says he'll work for £5, 9-6, Monday to Saturday. You'd choose the migrant because he'll do more for less. Making the British born citizen without a job due to the fact that an migrant would be preferred because they're not entitled to the rights we are.

Trade unions are similar, they demand pay rises and changes that cost the employer, which means the money that could be used to employ more staff is used up in order to satisfy those already working for the company. Threats of industrial action which result in huge company loses not only prevent employment, they also cost the country severely. Other businesses suffer due to industrial action, so a chain reaction happens, and even more money is lost. The less money companies have, the less they have to spend on employment. If the industrial action is really bad, the company's profits may drop so much, they cannot afford to keep 10 extra staff, and even more job cuts happen in order to keep the company alive. Trade Unions do not work, whilst the idea of them protecting worker's rights and interests, they do not benefit anyone but themselves. Not only that, they're incredibly left-wing. So when they expect migrants to work for them, they have an influx of employees and members. The company would need to dish out even more money in order to satisfy them, making profits fall dramatically that could be used to improve service, and or employ more people.

Immigration not only destroys a lot of the economy, they can have a devastating affect on our environment. Consider I live in Britain, an Island. There's really not that much room, so an influx of migrants require more housing, which needs to be built. And where would it be built? In our lovely countryside, the national parks would be the only green zones in the UK if we continue like this, animal habitats will be destroyed, there'd be more pollution, which will affect people's health. Which will cost the NHS dearly if the country is not generating enough wealth. And if we have a high unemployment rate, and high employment rate in the public sector, the ratio of national expenditure/state income will dramatically alter.

Privatisation would need to happen, and the easiest target for privatisation is the NHS. The NHS which in my opinion is the life line of this country, a system we should be very proud of. But, it will go if we continue to rely on the state rather than private trading. Thatcher privatised many nationalised companies, which helped reduce the budget deficit, which she did! Whilst many agree what she did was brutal, it was completely necessary at the time. It was either Thatcher, or Michael Foot - leader of the opposition party, who's manifesto was dubbed the world's longest suicide note. Foot wanted to nationalise many industries, and what does nationalisation mean?

It means that people have no choice but to pay for it, resulting in higher taxes, even if you don't use the service, you're still paying for it. This is when private companies come into play, because they're not state funded, it's not the people's money who pay for it even if they don't use it. Companies can then start up, creating jobs, and more importantly. Creating wealth, the companies have a tax, and the more there are. The more money goes into the treasury, without having to rely on taxing the people's income. Not only do taxes remain lower than nationalised, people have the option of paying for the service, or not. This is the beauty of capitalism. You can choose whether you use the service or not, and you're not losing out as there's many other options to choose from which could save you money, or give you more for the money. This allows people to spend more on leisure and activities, which generates more wealth because they're going to buy these from private companies who profit from it, taxed themselves, and the VAT. The profited money can improve conditions for staff, can open more branches creating more jobs and many other things.

But unfortunately, with Trade unions, a lot of this is prevented, and when you have a Socialist 'democratic' party in power, people suffer. The gap between the poor, and the rich got wider under Labour, because labour concentrated on making the rich less rich, at the expense of making the poor, poorer. Why should people be punished for being successful and making money? I don't know, but with the trade unions being given more power, this country will see a huge decrease in economic growth because of industrial action taken by trade unions which many are unlawful.

We're losing grip of this once powerful nation, because of the left wingers.
