Brian My experience is that the hospitals are badly managed rather than over-drained - I think funding goes onto the wrong things. To my knowledge (but I may be wrong about this) the crime problems in this area are pretty bad, especially within the town but to my understanding the problems lie with the laws themselves and the powerlessness of the police in many situations - big over-simplification I know but I'm just going out:)

juliana it said on G.M.T.V today that all the immigrants that are in the country could fill the whole of peterborough.a city.that is alarming.my husband works for heathrow airport and he has been told that in total thousands are coming in each month into the detention centres which just shows that labour are covering upxxxx(:

Please dont' take offence to this anyone, but do you believe everything you see on GMTV? We seem to be confusing lots of issues - immigration is different to being a refugee or an asylum seeker. There are a great deal of people who do take the p**s out of the system, but as Roxanne has said its not just people from other countries, its people from all walks of society. The only reason people get away with this is because NO government has put a stop to it. Im sick and tired of paying my taxes and struggling to pay bills at the same time, while there are other driving around in brand new cars, going on 5 hols a year etc and never doing a days work - but these feelings are towards anyone and everyone who doesnt contribute to our society. I have never experienced (and hope I never do) pain and torture in the way many refugees and asylum seekers have done and I would no begrudge any genuine person a penny. As has been said before, I think a lot of the bad feeling is created by anecdotal (?) evidence than hard facts. ju xxxxx
