Not all immigration is equal.


So Amber Rudd has resigned. Is it even her fault though ?
The immigration dept hasn't been fit for purpose for years. I don't think for one moment that was happened to the unfortunate people of the wind rush generation is racially motivated. That's usually the go to stance of the left-racists.They do love that word. I tend to go with the most obvious answer; our government -be it Labour or Tory- isn't fit for purpose.

The incompetence of our politicians never fails to surprise me. The British parliamentary system appears to put parliamentary procedure and the 'status quo' before policy and thinking.
What we really need in the UK is a character a little bit like Trump- but with brains. I'm no fan of his, he is bad for the environment among other things. But in his defense he doesn't do politics the political and bureaucratic way, and no matter what you say about the man, he is getting things done. Okay not all good but at least he is shaking things up. We could do with a character like that over here-only more aware and thoughtful.

Mind you I cant be the only one who would love to see intelligent people running the country. Scientists,engineers, entrepreneurs and business minded geniuses- not politicians.
Imagine if immigration was run by people who had a basic grasp of statistics and facts and could decide which immigrants -if any- a certain area needs. Someone who could look at immigration who doesn't have to worry about party loyalties and can just use cold hard facts.
Someone who can see that mass immigration does push down wages and raise rents and therefore house prices.
Its not rocket science, but left to our politicians who are so concerned about public perceptions the media and elections that they just end up going round and round in circles.

I recently heard about a local authority that is now ran by a guy who used to be very senior in the private sector. He is actually running it like a business. Trying to get value for money, rather than just concentrating on how to spend the money they get in from Council tax and local government.

On the immigration debate. The wind rush generation were needed and very welcome. They and their descendants are as British as myself, and what they are enduring is ridiculous incompetence from government, not racism,just incompetence. 

Successive governments always look for the easy answer. They did it with the Child Support Agency. They went after the guys who worked and paid maintenance. The people in the system who were easy to persecute and therefore hit targets and they left the negligent and useless fathers alone.
You cant open a paper now without reading about some easy target getting deported, just to hit a target or to fool the British people that the government is taking our concerns about immigration seriously.

Well they still ain't listening to us. We don't want innocent and deserving people kicked out. Just the ones who are abusing the system or trying to bring our country down. And we want people brought in that are a genuine benefit for the country. Professionals. For example we already have enough people to work in retail we don't need any more.
It really isn't rocket science.
