they can have our jobs, it is the houses they take that are the problem

Have 'they' taken your job or your house or a house from anyone you know ? Genuine question

It is simple logic that if you allow in more immigrants than you build houses then you somebody is going to have problems getting a house. I'm quite comfortable and am not one of those people. In general, this debate seems to be unable to distinguish between the aggregate effect and situations of individuals.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

So you're worried for others (us Irish with the great bloodline that will hopefully never get diluted by the bad foreigner's bloodline).. Helping out other folk who need our help isn't the issue, they are not your enemy. Why not worry and look out for those less fortunate than us?
The real enemy here looks very like you and me, not the unfortunate on the boats, not trans etc...

JOG2 I have a lot of respect for you and clicking on this page I looked at the colour coded quotes and I thought it was you that was being racist and I was disappointed....

But looking back I see it was you that was not and you were being what I always thought about you....

And my faith in you restored!!!

A fish supper yesterday cost me £12.20. This is ridiculous. Costs nothing to catch a fish apart from the rod.
