You gotta laugh aint ya.

I don't think it does Sid, it's just one thing on top of another.

i hope that this is not going to get filthy terry, having checked with my neighbours no-one seems to know what the juxta position is, let alone trying it out.

Thought that many times...not the most cheering message for the poor detainees... "abandon hope all ye
who enter here"...
Getting back to important issues, isn't the juxta position the one where proximity=levity? I put my back out with that when I was younger.

Getting back to the point, the car park should be made short stay to fall in with the message below.
I'd be happy then.

But the point is Ian, we don't have any short stay illegal immigrants, so maybe the sign is accurate.
On the subject of immigration, I watched a terrific documentary last night about the rise of Maggie Thatcher. In the programme, made in th e1980's I think, there were interviews with a few Joe Public's, presented as typical Labour voters who were switching to Tory because of her tough message on immigration. What was interesting is the things they were saying back in the 1970's are still being said now.
Begs the question, "When are we going to get politician's who will actually listen to the voters"?
Also, Maggie was very unpopular in the Tory party because of her firm views on immigration.
Begs the question, "What went wrong"?

The trouble is that because the major parties, but mainly the Conservatives, don't listen to the public on immigration, it helps creates fringe parties like UKIP, who then get enough votes to stop the Conservatives from forming a majority Government.
I'm as right of centre as the next Conservative, but we must be all-embracing on what really matters to the majority of people, especially with regard to Europe and immigration.

I don't think I want an all embracing government Roger (welcome back by the way). I just want them, whoever is in power, to get rid of those who shouldn't be here, by whatever means, and not allow any more in until we have a sensible quota system in place. I'd even support helping repatriate those who want to go back for personal or family reasons.

Sid, please wake up and realise that we are not in the seventies any more, and that since then immigration has pumped millions more people into our Country, over the past few years alone! To make a paragony about what people thought then in Britain and now concerning immigration is somewhat out of place. Now, immigration is such a Plague, that it has to stop! Cheap labour marching through and grabbing almost any job going! Sid, how can Dover's councillors allow that almost any job in Dover district can be taken by anyone one of eastern Europe's over hundred million citizens eligable to work? Not to mention the millions of Asian asyslo-seekers!
Alexander sometimes I think you can be such an ignoramus. My post reflected the views of voters in th 1970's not being any different to today's when it came to immigration and posed the question "what went wrong".
Let me help by making it even simpler for you.
For 30 years the people of the UK have been telling their politicians to stop immigration but have not been listened to.
All your babble about local jobs is just that, babble with no hard evidence to support it and once again clearly demostrates your racist agenda.

Roger, how can you say "the major parties , but mainly the Conservatives, don't listen to the public on immigration".
The general perception is that the Conservatives lost in 2001 and 2005 because they devoted too much policy time on immigration. I know, I was on the end of those results.
This time we made a firm commitment to limiting immigration numbers.
