that's odd, it comes up as current news on the BBC web site, yet obviously isn't before someone says, i have just looked at the date of the piece, 2012,

To bring it more 'up to date' and significant to this country, we have too many, and it would be refreshing to hear any of our politicians voice these four words.

"Britain Has Too Many"

strange that it was in the news section of the BBC, as current, its not,
i wondered if he was angling for another job - perhaps not

Of course it does, it's a foreign country, it's full of 'em.

the last time i was in France those new arrivals had come from former French colonies. I recall Angela Merkel say that their immigration workers, mostly Turkish people hadn't integrated well, strange that

The boring Answer is that to get elected he needs to get voters to vote for him and not Le Pen's far Right Party. He is just trying to appeal to the AOGs in Grance.

// Far-right voters may decide who becomes France′s next president after anti-immigration crusader Marine Le Pen′s record first-round election score jolted the race between Socialist frontrunner Francois Hollande and incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy.

The centre-left Hollande narrowly beat the conservative Sarkozy in Sunday′s 10-candidate first round by 28.6 percent to 27.1 percent, the Interior Ministry said with 99 percent of votes counted, but Le Pen stole the show by surging to 18.0 percent, the biggest result for a far-right candidate. //

"foreigner" is a very emotive word, and may not mean quite the same to one person, as it does to another.

For instance, I have a sister-in-law, admittedly not the brightest firework in the box, who went to Spain on holiday once but didn't really like it, because "there were too many foreigners there"

I gently pointed out that maybe on that occasion, she was the foreigner, but I'm not sure she quite understood.

Where the hell is 'GRANCE'?

More to the point, where are you AOG. With respect to the other people here, there's a gaping hole in this site when you don't bother posting. Get off the deckchair, remove the knotted hanky and give our muesli-munchers something to whinge about. ;-)
