   Redwood: a) keep terrorists out.

   Rather depends on your defination of ‘terrorism’.

   If you cannot walk the streets without being set upon and beaten to death, I think that is a more pervasive sort of terror, than the sort of occasional terror that Al Quaeda or the IRA or our other ‘home’ grown terrorists have yet managed to create.

   Redwood: b)can tackle serious crime rings and rackets

   Not much point tackling serious crime if the judiciary is going to let the criminal off scot free.

   Oh! and by the way, Cameron wants us to hug a hoodie, more of his inane drivel. Some hoodies are just not huggable.

   Redwood: “..he told us they are going to spend the extra revenue on improving controls at our borders.”

   Then he is unfamiliar with the truth (see I am trying to be polite). The European union guarantees free passage within its borders, as an organisation it is not too bothered about guarding those borders though. The UK on the other hand is an island, guarding the borders ought to be relitively simple!

   Now, I for one, often wondered why, given that the point of entry into the EU was often far far away, why they all seemed to make for Sangatte?

   Then why our ‘partners’ did not return the illegals to the country of origin, rather than giving them free passage to the UK? I am compelled to ask, how this freedom of movement and our dependency on our partners border controls is consistent with the first of your first objectives?

   When will the Home Office stop trying to persecute law abiding citizens, and stop giving out passports to convicted criminals?

   Perhaps now we know why John Reid admits the Home office is unfit for purpose. Some think that John Reid is u…., but then so was his predecessor. By the way, has Blunket been jemmied out of his grace and favour accomodation yet, or is he still there sponging off the tax payer?

   Now here is my opinion of immigration, we don’t need it! I’ve heard enought of that nonsense that we need it to survive, in Wales something like 20% of the working population are ‘economically inactive’! If that is representitive of the population throught the UK, lets get that fifth of the population back to work. If we are going to have immigration, then we should only admit people who are going to work for a living, no welfare for the first ten years of their life in the UK, immigrants must have no criminal record during the first ten years, or they will be subject to deportation. At the end of the ten years they can apply for British citizenship, which will be granted if they have no criminal record nor extended period of unemployment. Hard, perhaps, but the UK is not a charity, well it is at the moment, but it shouldn’t be. We will get immigrants who have a commitment to the UK, not people who treat us with contempt.

   By the way, we can do none of these things even if the british population wanted to, because we are in the EU.

   Hitchens did a great job on Cameron tonight.

   Increased Fees will hit the responsible, not the irresponsible and impaired
   Fees for immigration are not targeting the right people. I am born British, my father fought as an airman in the RAF but when I married a South African lady and I decided to return to the UK some 3 years ago, I had to pay more than
