It is a disgrace. The saucy socialists should be EXTENDING the policy to allow immediate detention of ALL single adults and while we're at it ALL childless couples as well REMEMBER MADDY

It's only funny until you get to "When Labour forced through its disastrous policy of mass immigration, what respect did it show to the millions of indigenous working-class voters whose communities would come under serious strain as a result? Did anyone explain the true consequences, rather than just the bogus benefits?" and then it's like WTF.

May I congratulate the liberal intelligentsia for the direction they have taken this country in the past forty-odd years. Society? Hardly, or not as I understand the word anyway. This is monitored anarchy! Law and Order has been made redundant. It's all 'Rights' before retribution. Send in the social worker.Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls! But for Mr Hall, they would have succeeded. A ray of hope.Would you rather live in my world, or what we have clearly got today?I have the telephone number of our local Funeral director written down, for when it's needed. The saddest thing is that I won't be sad to leave. 21st century Britain? I hope you enjoy it.

It's a shambles how Britons are being denied the right to kick a ball in the street. That said, I bet if there were a ball to kick, it would be the immigrants getting first dibs while good honest working Brits would have to fill out a form.

there was a time when a man could order a food in a place and be assured of proper health and decency. now you are liable only to receive a hummus, which consists of little but mashed expectations and inexpensive cow seasonings. there was a time when a decent man could not look upon a hummus without weeping.

Education education education was Blair's mantra as he stood on the doorstep of No. 10 and yet, after 50 years of Labour government, we are a nation of under-educated feral thugs, who grunt an incomprehensible argot learned from the latest "rap" 45, in between "downloading" pornography to our mobile phones and "happy slapping" old age pensioners dozing fitfully at bus stops while waiting to board crime-ridden bendy buses to take them to their lives of terror on sink council estates
