Whilst the main political parties squabble and score points from each other, a press release was issued today on immigration. Not from any of the party leaders, but from the Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration, headed by Frank Field and Nicholas Soames. Here is an extract:
"Poll after poll shows the public to be deeply concerned about immigration and its impact on our population. Yet, as we enter the General Election campaign, neither party has promised the British people that they will prevent our population hitting 70 million. It is time the parties turned their rhetoric into reality by making manifesto commitments to prevent our population reaching 70 million by 2029."
Immigration is a subject being talked about in pubs, workplaces and homes throughout the country. Hopefully this press release will jolt Messrs Brown, Cameron and Clegg into action. We need to have a balanced and adult debate about this issue. This is what the voters want. More HERE.

Considering the land area we're capable of farming, plus the yields, 70 million is around about 30 million too many.
It is about time the main political parties woke up to the fact that people arefrightened about mass immigration.
For far,far too long this running sore of a problem has simply been airbrushed out.
I may not agree with Frank Field on much but he is addressing this issue in an honorable way. He is showing the leadership on this issue that is sadly lacking elsewhere in the British political system
