Out with old Digby on a shoot the other day. He was carping on about the new housing estate being proposed for the edge of town as per usual. “5 million new homes the UK needs!”, he said. “5 million! And do you know why?! Immigrants.”
He was right of course. Housing need has nothing to do with the simple arithmetic of the UK's biggest ever generation being born post WW2 pairing off, and having 2.4 children each with each generation expecting its own house thus creating scarcity, pushing up land values and by extension rents so the average renter is paying 28% more than they would if they had a mortgage not that they can get a mortgage now that the average deposit required is £66,000 and is simply the fault of immigrants.
If they would only send the immigrants home, then old Digby could spend less time defending the natural world from the developers and more time shooting pheasants with me. It was with this in mind that my Assistants helped me to ‘log on’ to the UK Government epetitions website to see if we couldn’t force a debate on the issue in Parliament, when all of a sudden I got a pleasant surprise!
Right there were literally dozens of like-minded souls, ahead of the curve, getting support and changing the policy landscape from the bottom up. I include a small selection below, which I do hope you will vote for - after all, if they attract 100,000 signatures, they will have to debate the petition in the Commons and the days of the foreign worker will be numbered!
Steve Burton starts us off with his vision for the future of refugee care:
AsylumTherefore he also talks about reform of EU law:
Mainland Europe is not at war, therefore asylum cannot apply to the UK, it's not our problem. Therefore all applications should be treated as bogus.

The United Kingdom to have its own version of the Human Rights ActLiam wants it hard and fast:
The current Act stops us from handling our own internal affairs. We are being stifled by adhering to laws that the majority of British people would vote against. Agreeing our own set of Human Rights would help us regain control of the following: Police being allowed to use reasonable force to regain control of our streets .Teachers being able to take control of classes .Immigrants /illegal immigrants using the current Act to avoid deportation. Travellers not being "moved on" or taking up permanent residence on other peoples property. Prisoners using the Act to improve their "stay" behind bars. People being prosecuted when taking reasonable action to protect themselves and their property. Parents being threatened by their children when using reasonable chastisement when trying to teach them right from wrong. The above is just a taste of why we should put together our own Human Rights guidelines.

Age of ConsentSteve’s been learning from history:
The age at which a person is able to give consent to sexual intercourse should be firmly protected by legislation. Judges should have no leaway in interpreting consent if one of the persons involved is under 16. If either person is below 16 then there should be no more than 2 (two) years or 730 (seven hundred and thirty) days, age difference between the them, whichever is the greater. Anything contrary to this should be a hard-and-fast ruling.

A MESSAGE FROM HISTORY - BRING BACK TRANSPORTATION AND THE GULAGAnd Ian’s back for another go with his analysis of the causes of the riots:
Throughout history, criminals have been transported or sent to gulag work camps to pay their debt to society. Soft, "big society" rehabilitative justice does not work. Make convicts work for a living by making them contribute to society, paying by blood, sweat, tears and elbow grease. The government should pick underdeveloped rural and deprived inner-city areas to be rejuvenated at no cost to the tax payer, without paying lip service and dividends to the private sector. Such an undertaking would foster a sense of David Cameron's big society, kick-start the local economy, and provide much-needed local services, thus reducing the local carbon footprint.

Ban Slayer albums outright.You may also enjoy:
American thrash metal band Slayer have been responsible for some of the most depraved songs to ever have been written and, as the recent riots in England demonstrated, our children are in desperate need of better role models. This petition seeks to encourage the government to ban this outrageous filth once and for all, to give the next generation the chance to develop in a more positive cultural environment.
