Germany, France and Italy all signed up to an agreement which stopped all immigrants from working and claiming state benefits, did the UK sign up? Nope Blair and Brown cocked it up royally, now we can't get out of it because heaven forbid we'll breach their human rights.
I was a Labour supporter but now I don't know who to vote for.

He could be getting crossed wires when the former eastern block countries joined the EU Germany and france at least i think there were more, put an moritorium on anybody coming there to work for 2 years he may have been meaning this.
We of course accepted all who came from day 1 for good or bad,i personally think Blair did wrong on this and should have followed France and Germany.
Just my opinion though.

I would not, i have listened to many speeches by Nigel Farage and he derides racism at every opportunity he often also is on James Whales LBC drive show if there was any hint of racism James Whale would not have him on as he holds no truck with racist views he appears on Question time as well.
The BNP though well they are in a league of their own and i would not wish to associate anybody with them.

Don't be fooled into thinking we are paying less tax than previously. Each government increases the tax burden, then never reduce it.

I never said as a whole we paying less tax.
I said proportionally less is falling onto companies.

No, you weren't (you may have intended to, but that is not what you did, and we can only go on what you state, not what you thought you meant you thought you stated).
You used the past tense about Chavez ("when Chavez was in power") as a comparator for a statement in the present tense ("life is better for them").
btw, if you were in "high management", who wrote your reports* for you?
*unless, of course, the "high management" was at TJ Hughes, Habitat, Oddbins, or in the Greek Government....
