But hey, if immigrants from the east are an easier scapegoat … |

It's interesting that unemployment in the UK is now at its highest since 1996 (the end of the last 17 year Tory government).  Seeing as a lot of people blame immigration for unemployment and unemployment was higher through the 1980s and 1990s and lower during the Labour government then why do the Tories have an open door policy on immigration surely Labour's policy on immigration was better for jobs? |

I personally would vote for Villepin if I were living there, but that's because I'm an old-fashioned Gaullist. Sarkozy has has achieved nothing, NF isn't for me, the PS...well, at least they didn't pick a headcase or Royal, and the Trots no chance. |

But hey, if immigrants from the east are an easier scapegoat … France has also had the intriguing spectacle of a prime minister who rejected Gaullism, and neoliberalism (as instituted by her own party in the preceding 5 years after the Mauroy experiment), and combined this with blaming it all on foreigners! |
