Pressure by the west to have these people paid more can result in hyper inflation. Just look what's happened to house prices because couple's disposable incomes have increased so much in the past 10 years.

But we could pay them a decent wage comarable to the west and enable their goverements to get sufficent tax revenue to build up their countries like we have.

Or more accurately why the tories were voted out 
Tho I bet the tories (that's the real tories, not new labour) have learnt their lesson and once they get back in after the next election, we can get back to fixing the country. .

I don't think they have learnt a thing, they have similar policies to when they were thrown out of power, the latest idea is to take the countrie back to the 50's

It's interesting how labour on one hand can talk about increasing the security checks of immigrants, yet let in huge numbers without checks on their validity etc just to fudge the figures.

Really though it wasn't a government official that approved their applications (for what ever it was) it was a civil servant. I agree it shouldn't have happened, but the MP's in charge of these departments don;t actually work down the immigration processing office standing over the workers. They are told by the management what's happening and let the managers do the running of the offices, just as it has been done for years.
You can't hold the cabinet minister for the Benefits agency responsible for every tom dick or harry that starts giving out free money to people can you?
