$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')s for wanting to kick all foreigners out, I think you really need to view their manifeso as you are wrong again - manifesto
Hm I read the manifesto ... in page 15/54 I found the following paragraph:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hose illegal immigrants who truthfully declare their illegal status to the authorities
during the registration period will be able to claim, in the case of skilled and key
workers, extended leave to remain in the United Kingdom as long as they are
benefiting the UK economy and stay as residents until such time as we have had time
to train British personnel to replace them.
During this period we would also strive to provide these regularized illegal key
workers with extra training intended to increase their value to their home countries on
their return.
So unless they are kicked out, how are they going to return?
I am surprised, that it is mentioned that sometimes these damned foreigners do jobs that no Briit is yet qualified to do.
Let's see:
Case A: The foreigner holds valuable expertise and no Brit with similar experience is out there. So how is the experience going to be transferred? At gun point?
Case B: A foreigner fills the burger flipping jobs at McDonald's. So he is going to train his Brit successor in the high tech job of burger flipping?
Obviously Case B Immigrants are going to be expelled immediately; Case A will be forced to train the Brits and then kicked out.
Another (totally infounded in modern pharmacogenomics research ) crap
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his must not be taken to mean or imply that we believe that any particular ethnic
group or race is ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’; we simply recognise that – as any biologist
would be able to predict, and the new medical science of pharmacogenetics is now
confirming – human populations which have undergone micro-evolutionary changes
while being separated for many thousands of years have developed differences in
many fields of endeavour, susceptibility to health problems, behavioural tendencies
and such like.
No such research has uncovered behavioural tendencies or differences in other fields of endeavour. It has uncovered differences in response to medications; in fact here in the States the medical profession became involved in a lengthy argument on labeling a medication as for African Americans only. This has been the only real outcome of "racial" pharmacogenomics as applied to race (and disputed btw, due to the fact that the African American population has a lot of substructures (the correct technical term btw) that makes medicine by colour an inefficient exercise. Actually what pharmacogenomics has shown is that the differences among individuals of the same race is larger than the difference among races, hence an individualized approach is necessary.
Anyone with a college level understanding of statistics and ANOVA models in particular can see how this is possible, no need for rocket science
Even the term pharmacogenetics is suspect when used in such context (i.e. differences can be attributed to specific genes only). The correct scientific term is "genomics" a wider concept incorporating the interaction of epigenetic and genetic phenomena.
No BNP is nothing more than Hittler/Stalin/Mussoline in disguise.
Shame on them, them do not honour the thousands of brave Brittish citizens and soldiers who died in WWII.
BTW the EU comments are inaccurate. There is no reason for the rest of the EU to sign a free trade argument if UK walks out. If UK decides to unilaterally revoke the right to move and professional rights granted under the Maastricth Treaty, then the rest of the EU countries will do the same. Given the amount of foreign investment in UK this will lead in a massive efflux of money from the litl island. In addition your pensioners in Spain, Italy, Portugal, South France, Greece (all countries with laws that limit the amount of proporty that a non EU foreigner can hold) will send Brit oldfolks back. Both UK and EU will suffer ... chances is that UK (being the smaller) will be hit worse
It is chilling that people believe the amount of crap in the Manifesto. It is even more chilling that PO might lead to a rise of such ideas across the globe. After reading this I became a doomer and I want my Mammy to hold me
