Well you are entitled to your view and you can have a view because we live in a democracy thank god.

Should the motley crew get elected a few months down the line ........................god help us. And he can,t or couldn,t for obvious reasons if you think about it.

First they came for the Trades Unionists for goodness sake.....................

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.:

14.2% was what about 40 people max, have you seen how few vote at these elections and that is why parties like the BNP get seats.

Its everyones apathy that allows minorities to dictate,always has and always will until people realize what is important and make the effort to try and change things for the better, theirs plenty who want to make things worse.

The greed of Brown in taxing the Pension schemes started it all,as the more affluent started investing in property instead of putting it into their pension pot.As a result we have a glut of property in Leigh bought by out of towners as an investment and so we now have loads of terraces being rented out to non UK residents, and the land lords being paid every month a lovely cheque that has no risk as its coming from us the tax payer.

I think I can safely say that we don't want them in our town - 14.2%? That's nowt.

I bet I could round up 14.2% to vote for Darren Abrams as coach of the decade! icon_eek.gif

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



If you live where my mum and dad live (Edale Road off Manchester Road near Butts Bridge) it's classed as Worsley icon_eek.gif

I told them when I lived at my mum and dads that I wouldn't vote until they changed the boundaries.

I'll assume you're excluding BNP voters on the same grounds?

Ok, im going to have a little rant over immigration, not because im racist, but because this country just cannot support the people we currently have living here.

A couple of months ago, I was going to the Miners on a Sunday to watch football and meet some of the lads. I was walking past the skips and came across a couple of 'immigrants' with their children in the skips looking for things(obviously after the car boot that morning). Are these people doing us a favour by recycling or is their a deeper issue of if these people can't afford to live in this country then what are they doing here.
Secondly, driving through Leigh at the moment and you cant fail to notice all these 'immigrants' walking around, durng normal working hours (I work continentals before anyone asks) with shopping bags and occasionaly letting their children urinate in the streets. If these people haven't got jobs then what are they doing here?

Thirdly. I have a ongoing knee problem which is causing so much pain that I have already taken time off work. Ive been to see my GP, a consultant, had X-rays, MRI scans(which were sent to S. Africa to be assessed btw) seen the consultant agin and then referred to the specialist knee unit at Wrightington. My last appointment with my consultant was at the beginning of Feb. I phoned last week to see if I had an appointment with the surgeon and was told that theyare fully booked for the next 6 weeks and have had no referral yet anyway!!! This has now been ongoing since the beginning of December. My question is this: Can we support more migrants when our services, that I and many of you on here pay for with extortionate amount of taxes, are so heavily stretched as we speak? The answer is most certainly NO. We need to start sorting out our own problems before we look at everybody elses. We are no longer the imperial heavy weights of centuries gone by. This country is skint. Don't make it worse by inviting more people over here. Gordon Brown needs to go. Cameron will be no better. That is why people are now starting to listen to other political parties.
