im a bit confused about the labour/snp thing...miliband ruled out a formal deal, but does this mean they are unlikely to be a coalition if seats allowed it??

In case you hadn't noticed, we live in a multicultural country.

We are built on immigration.
Pre Middle Ages it was Celts, Picts, Romans (including Black African Legionnaires). Jutes, Angles, Saxons (all Germanic) Vikings & Normans.

With the Normans came Jews, invited here to develop commerce, trade and finance. Trade routes opened and the New World was conquered, We saw an influx of Portuguese and Spanish, more Africans (often through the slave trade) and Arabs.

By the 1800s we were trading all across the globe seeing influxes of Chinese and Indians in particular. The Irish came in droves.

The Empire saw immigrants arriving from pretty much everywhere on the globe.

After the war we looked to foreigners to help rebuild. The Polish came in numbers even back then. We also saw a lot of Italians and Afro Carribeans. A little later those from the Indian subcontinent and later still Europe.

Did I mention those coming in from all across the commonwealth?

Where was the threat when all these people arrived? In the minds of the people already here. The perception and the reality were a long way apart.

Farage is stirring up racial tensions and if he said the things he says in Europen parliament in the streets of this country he should be held to account. Dangerous man.

What are you talking about. He's referring to potential terrorists coming from the war torn countries posing as genuine migrants. And how the EU has no way to filter them out. That is clearly a threat.

We should just turn the boats around like Australia. It worked for them.

He's trying to spread fear where there shouldn't be any. Obviously working on you.

I'm not living in fear. This is common sense, how can you say that isn't a threat? Their policy has no way of filtering out terrorists. Why wouldn't they come on boats?

what evidence/intelligence is there of terrorists arriving here on boats?

There will 100% be a coalition if, on the day, it meant Miliband would get to number 10. Hell, let's be honest, if I was in his position I'd do the exact same thing. If the SNP and Labour get enough seats, they'll work together and that's why they're dangerous.
