Are there many illegals there?

There's quite a few who should be paying a bit more tax than they should I'd wager, but that isn't the message they want to send out is it?

I also reckon they'd be employing a fair few maids, cooks & skivvies too

I wouldn't want them to be driving the stupid billboard around Chelsea and Mayfair.

I'd want them to be setting up task forces to hammer everybody in these areas who is employing illegal immigrants with the maximum fines they can.

I have no issue with people here illegally to try and make a better life for themselves. But I do have issues with people who are rich enough to have multi million pound properties but don't feel they can afford to pay legal wages to people who serve them.

It's ok though because big Dave says it is working! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23489925 Like IDS, he doesn't need statistics to prove it because it's "clear that this is already working". I mean, you'd be an idiot to think that those pesky illegal immigrants wouldn't leave on their own without reading an advert on the side of a van, in English!

So, basically, you're a bit of a hypocrite then with double standards based on nothing more than relative wealth.

It didn't read like that to me.
He was comparing people who come here to work and make a life for themselves against very rich people who take advantage of illegal immigrants to pay less than the going rate.
The former can deserve sympathy, the latter can't.
