Most illegal migrants likely to be white

If there is uncontrolled immigration, it is because the immigration authorities know that the people wants it. And it's not because of cheap labour, or silly conspiracy theories about undermining British culture. It is because of racial solidarity among white people.

Birmingham Anti-Election Campaign

As is the tradition in Birmingham, every election is met with opposition. With all three main parties offering us cuts in services, privatisation, job losses and wage cuts the message that 'Voting Changes Nothing' was even more self evident.

Responses from the public as they went up were all positive and with the exception of one set of boards they all stayed up....and might be left up ready for the next election after the Con-Lib pact falls to pieces.
