just spotted this topic, so sorry for the bump, but jim mate, anywhere down in the southwest (countryside ish area) like taunton, or barnstable or even devon, dont really have many immigrants or asylam seekers around here (only the rough area) the jobs side of things, it isnt that bad down here, and just for advertisement, where my mum works in homebase, have recently had alot of people leaving.. i mean... no advertising or nout!! this way, just moving to a less densly populated part fo the country it becomes better... and not stuck in the midlands
