I'm not surprised by this.

I was told of a large chicken processor in who bussed large amounts of foreign workers into their factories and put them up in houses that were bought by the factory. All the other local staff that were left in the factory had to get their own way to the factory.

These people out numbered local workers, as the factory preferred to have them, as they didn't have to pay them the minimum wage, brought in by the Labour government in April 1999.

I was told another story by a young man who had worked on a farm from a young age and could carry out all the tasks needed to operate on a farm.

A job on another farm was advertised and he applied for it. He ticked all the boxes and was probably the best applicant for the position. However the job was given to a foreign national.

The young lad was told by a friend who worked on the farm that the foreign national had no experience whatsoever. He didn't even know how to drive a tractor, however the farmer was able to pay him less, which made the farmer more money.

I also read another processing company that had to shut some of it's operations down due to "cheap foreign competition", which is giving them a taste of their own medicine.

I would just like to reply to; "point 2), the request as to how many people on the waiting list were British or born in the United Kingdom, according to a certain Mark Slater (head of the housing information unit) they do not hold this information".

If you download form HCTB1 05/06 from the directgov website in the "questionaire" part of the form it clearly asks: Please indicate which background you think you belong to
Mixed ethnic background
please indicate your nationality

It's really not hard to know by their surname and christian name to deter whether they belong to an ethnic minority. Although BBC1's Eastenders has a supposed muslin character called syed masood, real name, Marc Elliott.

So just more cover up from Manchester City Council. They cannot even adhere to the freedom of information act properly.

They seem to think they can use it the way they want, which is an abuse of a system that has already exposed our shameful politicians to the core.

It's time to stand up to these people. At least President Sarkozy has the bottle to say it, even if he doesn't really mean it.

It will not be long before Mr Shahid Malik gets his dream of being or having the first Muslim Prime Minister, which would be a disaster for the UK in general.

Look what the British government did in N.Ireland. They have terrorists sitting in Westminster (although they don't actually take their seat, due to their hatred of all things British). Mr Gerry Adams MP and IRA LEADER. Mr Martin McGuinness, MP for the Mid Ulster constituency, former IRA LEADER.

Mr Martin McGuinness, a self-confessed IRA Commander, is also Duputy First Minister.

The Northern Ireland policing board has a former Republican prisoner, Martina Anderson, who was arrested on 24 June 1985 at a flat in Glasgow with four other IRA members including Brighton bomber Patrick Magee.

On 11 June 1986 all five were convicted of conspiring to cause explosions in England. Martina Anderson, Northern Ireland Policing Board Member served 13½ years in jail and is a member of Sinn Féin.

Bobby Sands the IRA Hunger Striker was elected MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone in 1981.

Sands, 27, had served four years of a 14-year sentence for possessing firearms.

These people got these positions because the republican people of Northern Ireland put them there with the help of the British Government.

How long do you think it will take until Mr Shahid Malik's dream comes true. How long will it be before Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada takes his seat as an MP.

Will radical extremists ever sit in Parliament, who knows!

I'm glad this was brought up. I was told by a resident from East Belfast of new houses that were built not far from where she lived in a terrace two up two down council house.

Some of the residents were quite excited at the possiblity of escaping from their concrete gardens and cramped living conditions, as this new social housing development had small gardens and a bit more room in them.

Sadly their expectations were quickly quashed, as a gang of foreign nationals were moved into the houses because they, like everywhere else in the UK, were put to the top of the housing list. The area had a long waiting list for working class locals and therefore had no chance of getting a nice new house at all.

However the recession meant that most of the foreign nationals could not afford to live in the UK anymore and moved on.

The houses were then made available to the locals. However, when they entered the houses they refused point blank to live in them, due to the mess that was left by these ungrateful people with some of them being smeared with excrement.

It just goes to show how much respect and gratitude they have for this country. The houses had to be fumigated before the residants could move in.

I totally belive in being stopped and searched if it makes our country safer from terrorists. However to stop people just to even the scores in ridiculous.

So if they stop five coloured people they have to stop five white people. So when innocent civilians are being searched for suspicious items someone could be walking down the street with anything tucked in their body.

It's up to the white community to play the game that everyone is playing. If they are stopped and searched get a receipt and get it logged. These people complain about everything to these waste of spaces that are set up to defend them. It's time we had someone to tell these politically correct idiots, who of course would be nothing without this PC nonsense, go away and let us live our own lives.

The people that they know that are creating racial tension in the communities are sitting in their houses getting benefits paid by you and me. These people hate us that much that they want to kill us and will do so given the opportunity.

If I was in the supermarket looking for some fresh fruit, I wouldn't go to the wines and beers section to get it. They need to target those that are a potential threat to the law abiding citizens.

The more I hear about life in the UK the more I want to leave.

I live not far from where the roma gypsies were living and I'm pesonally glad that they are leaving. They beg in the streets with babies in their arms, they steal and make a general nuisance of themselves.

I was quite surprised how the alleged house that was attacked with supposedly 17 occupants inside turned into over 100 victims. It's just like the bus that's involved in an accident, which has 3 passengers initially and when the police arrive there is maybe 25 people onboard and subsequently 25 personal injury claims submitted from solicitors.

I was told a story about an area where students live and there was five students living in the house and to try reduce their rent they applied to have another friend move in and they were told that this would be against health and safety rules. However the house beside them had foreigners in it, which exceeded more than 12 occupants. The students complained to the local authorities but low and behold, this was not a problem.

Another story I saw on the tv is when loyalists had a feud on the lower shankill rd and around 200 people living in the area had to leave. They were not supplied with private police buses to ferry them to nice new accommadation. They had to arrange their own transport and they were under a lot more pressure to leave the area than these gypsies.

A neighbour of mine who's son applied for emergency accommadation didn't receive it as quick as our roma gyspy 'neighbours' got it.

I have been in different countries within europe and these roma gypsies are on the streets begging, mugging people and prostituting themselves. I read somewhere that a woman in Benidorm had tried to pick a man's pocket in the early hours and the man grabbed her by the hair and the police arrived and told the man to go on his way. If that was here she would have been given money for her pain and the man would have been jailed.

The best bit for me is when Martin McGuinness is seen on TV condemning these attacks. Our so called Duputy First Minister, who is a self-confessed IRA Leader, responsible for the countless suffering of the protestant people of N.Ireland and UK Mainland. Would Mr McGuinness been so vocal if it had of been happening in is republican strongholds. I think not. Even the Roma Gypsies wouldn't want to live in their areas.

The very same people who talk with IRA/Sinn Fein and put them in charge of our schools and finances are critising the BNP for their alleged racist oppinions. Enough is enough.
