No I didn't, I said they send their kids back for holidays in their home country. The parents stay behind for whatever reason. Which social housing estate do you live on in order to have first hand knowledge of who gets them?

Well for one thing they get priority for social housing. If a property becomes vacant around here it will go immediately to a family of newly arrived immigrants rather than one of the 14,000 families already on the waiting list. I suggest you apply yourself and see how far you get, not very far...

I haven't accused anyone of 'benefit fraud'.

Pretty much, yes. You would think they were still living in the middle of a desert. I don't think it applies to people who were born here?

Visit Spon End some days and you'll think you're living in the middle-east!

Boris has never said he wanted it banned, just that he thought it looked ridiculous.

There are 150 family sized units in my part of the estate and about half of those are occupied by newly arrived immigrants/asylum seekers/economic migrants, whatever you want to call them. The same way they can afford to run new 4x4s I expect and as far as I know passports aren't issued to...

The families I live with on the Whitefriars estate in Spon End. The countries they send the kids back to include (but is not limited to) Somalia and Burundi. What percentage of so-called asylum-seekers do you live with, approximately? It's about 50% around here.

Don Revie?

There are families around here who every year send their kids back to holiday in the country they were supposedly fleeing. They'll be back just before the schools reopen.

It's possible he enroled for a single term just so he could write on his CV "studied accountancy at Coventry University".

I worded that badly. I meant "Who would be left to be governed?" (by all those government types previously sheltering in the bunkers)

What would be left to come out for and who would be left to govern?

Not really I'm afraid. Ginster's aren't genuine Cornish Pasties but they're the nearest I'm likely to find outside of Cornwall.

You should visit the forum more often, you'll see a lot weirder threads than this! ;)

I do my bit for Cornwall too by eating as many Ginsters Pasties and as much Cornish Ice Cream as I can.

Donald Trump's future: Why eight years of rule is quite possible Image: Supporters of Donald Trump in the Mid West town of Elkhart, Indiana ...you can't sit in Elitesville, USA and gauge where Mr Trump is as midterm elections loom. You need to go to Trumpsville. You need to go to the Mid West...

When the Tories destroyed the traditional industries in the 1980s, they also destroyed the strong work ethic that previously existed in the communites that worked in those industries and that attitude has remained to this day. They even encouraged people who weren't seriously looking for work to...
