Are you ok?

soyad:
Benin is always taking all forms of crime to the extreme ,70% of love-peddlers in Nigeria are from Benin , kidnapping which started from the creeks has now being hyjacked by Benin and so on and so forth . It only shows that moral values in that place has completely collapsed in the family and the society . The elders of the land should be ashamed .
Whats the source of your statistics? Dont manufacture figures here in a bid to make a point.

The most retrogessive city in Nigeria is Benin. If you want to be a failure in life, just go and stay in Benin. They will finish you with JUJU.

I am sure labs and tories are counting their losses at the moment after their shabby display at the debate. Personally i am disappointed in camerons showing. He had always been so impressive at PMs question throwing back anything GB shoots at him.

Yesterday he looked so pensive, like a scared little boy. GB was GB; he did not disappoint as people expected him to perform poorly. Cameron had been the one shouting for a debate, now he got it and it has hit him straight at the pace. Well he may not worry that much as the polls have shown that most of the leap in the lib derm support has come from labour voters rather than the tories.

This may well be the last PM debate as we know it. The big two parties would rather prefer to debate against each other than involve the lib derms who are capitalising on a rare oppotunity for airtime. The next format may well be tories /vs/ lab alone.

Foreign AffairsRe: Uk Election On May 6; With Polls by snowdrops(op): 11:07pm On Apr 15, 2010
1. From polls since the debate it justifies my observation during and after the debate that nick clegg came out tops. The polls showed he won hands down followed by cameron with gb a distance 3rd. YOUGOV POLL LIB DERMS >50%, CONS. 26%, LAB 21%.


2.Remember those carribeans and indians continue to remain in the west midlands. They bought houses when they arrived. They had full time jobs which meant their base was effectively restricted to that region. They are not forced to stay but are left with no choice but to remain in that region because they have got houses there, their children are in schools and their family registered with GPs.

That is what obtains in Australia and Canada like i said. Migrants are granted working visas to work in economically deprived areas. That begins the cycle spelt out above. Some may leave but majority would remain there especially under the right working conditions. You cannot tell me the system in canada failed. That is too generic. Did it fail all over the country or in particular regions? What are your sources? Was there an inquiry which declared the system a failure?

Remember that for this system to work it involves work permit visas, and not holiday or student visas. There would be conditions stipulated for people to remain in that employment. If they are to change jobs then they would have to leave the country and reapply from their home countries.


2 Univeristy is one institution. A hospital is only a building. Even if they attempt to set caps on their services, there are bound to be loop holes. A whole country is far too complicated for that to work. Remember that we are only talking about non-eu migrants. What about people from the eu? Not forgetting asylum seekers and illegal immigration. A cap is like using a hammer to kill a fly. It is unnecessary and retrogressive. Many business leaders have kicked against it.


3. NO NO NO. Many a persons would disagree on improvement in education and health. Yes waiting times have come down and there have been improvement in cancer services and cardiology, but the uk is still way behind the rest of western europe in these services.
Beaurocracy has increased under labour, too many managers and chief executives, hospitals are shutting down over the country, front line services are been cut. Same applies to education. UK has one of the highest illiteracy rate in western europe. There is complete lack of discipline in schools. Foundation schools have led to more paper work for teachers and less time to spend with their students.
Foreign AffairsRe: Uk Election On May 6; With Polls by snowdrops(op): 9:58pm On Apr 15, 2010
But then if people are forced to settle by virtue of their visa status in a particular area of the country we all know that a good majority of them end up living the rest of their lives there. Such happened with the first generation migrants to the uk. Many areas in the west midlands like birmingham, dudley, wolverhampton attracted a lot of migrants from india and the carribeans because there where industrial jobs, till date you find a good number of such people and their generations in these areas. Very few drifted to other parts of the country as you believe.

A cap remains unworkable. Like Nick joked, what if the cap has been reached, and man united needed to buy a player from say burkina faso? Will they have to wait till next year to do that? Talk is cheap. Cameron wants to be pm desperately. He would say anything to get in there. emember Blair in 1997? Education, education education!!! Tough on crimes tough on the causes on crime?? 13 yrs later and its been failed promises.

Besides, i say again with the prospects of a hung parliament, many of the tory policies would be greatly diluted if they are to pass through parliament.
Foreign AffairsRe: Uk Election On May 6; With Polls by snowdrops(op): 9:21pm On Apr 15, 2010
I think Nicks policies on immigration are the most sensible. The focus should be on regional migration rather than national. Afterall the ill effects of immigration ie competition for schools, hospitals and other public infracstructes are more far reaching in typical white working class areas. As practised in canada and australia, would be migrants are evenly distributed around the country.

cameron wants a cap? How many? What would determine the figure per yr. Its impractical and ridiculous and would be thrown out by the lib derms in a combined government.

@ snowdrops

The issue here is not simply who becomes PM, it's who has enough votes to either dominate or influence decisions. If the Conservatives win but have a hung parliament, they will need the Lib Dems to have a majority, and that will bring in the Lib's good ideas and dilute some of the ridiculous policies of the Conservatives.
Agreed. I had same discussion at work today. Thats the beauty of a hung parliament. So many proposed policies but no decisions would be reached. I dont think the tories would like that.

Nigerian Dictator Stops Return to Civilian Rule

y CompiledCynthia Hanson / June 24, 1993

NIGERIA'S military dictator voided the June 12 presidential elections yesterday, again blocking the country's return to civilian rule.

"These steps were taken to save our judiciary from being ridiculed and politicized locally and internationally," said a military decree signed by the ruler, President Ibrahim Babangida.

The results of the elections, which apparently were won by business tycoon Moshood Abiola, had been ordered suppressed by the Abuja High Court on June 15 after supporters of General Babangida claimed they were rigged. Yesterday's ruling did not say whether new elections would be held.

Babangida had promised to end the military's decade-long grip on power on Aug. 27, but was suspected of planning to derail the transition. He has ruled since 1985, when he toppled another military regime.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, has been under military rule for 23 of its 33 years of independence.

The elections were widely criticized. Mr. Abiola and his rival, Bashir Tofa, another wealthy industrialist, were close friends of the general, who created their political parties and banned other factions. Despite his friendship with Babangida, Abiola had declared himself the winner. He drew broad-based support even though turnout was estimated at only 30 percent.
