Firstly dem bold bits are noise. You have a little key that says 'del' right?
Secondly, You're quoting Le Pen and Front National. You realise they're borderline neo-nazis right? When I lived in france there was this craze for collecting little pins with stuff on them. The joke was, what's Le Pen's Front National Pin look like? An arab with a sword through his chest.
Think Pauline Hanson, but loonier and far more dangerous. I'd be ashamed to quote her, let alone something far far worse.
Firstly:-The paste was from the mail.com homepage and I did delete the noise except the

What you highlighted after the main article, I intended to be included to show other topics that people in the broader than this forum world are reading about.
Secondly:- I am not quoting Le Pen, Le Pencil or the Frontal Lobe. I am quoting a news article from another web page to highlight that many people on the other side of the world feel that their culture is being buried under a wave of illegal immigration and muslimisation.
Here is another interesting article from today's Brisbane Courier Mail.
THERE are enough illegal immigrants living in Australia to populate a large regional city.
Together, the 58,400 foreign citizens hiding illegally in the community could rival the population of Bundaberg or Hervey Bay.
More than half have called Australia home for five or more years, 20,000 have lived here a decade or more and two in three "illegals" have evaded immigration authorities for more than two years.

Documents released to The Courier-Mail under Freedom of Information also reveal the biggest groups of illegals are Chinese, American, Malaysian, British and South Korean.
More than one in every 390 people is now an illegal alien. The figures, which do not include visitors who overstay visas by less than a fortnight, dwarf the 4700 asylum seekers currently in detention or in the community waiting for their claims to be assessed and the 4695 boat arrivals in 2010-11.
Jailed terrorist cell leader Abdul Benbrika lived in Australia illegally for years after arriving on a visitor's visa in 1989.
Three months after marrying in 1992, while still an illegal, he successfully applied to stay in the country and then lived on welfare with his wife and seven children until his arrest in 2005.
Illegal immigrants have also been involved in drug cartels, sex slavery, frauds and card-skimming scams.
Australian Human Rights Commission president Catherine Branson, QC, said it was important to remember many more non-citizens living in Australia had overstayed their visa or arrived by plane and sought asylum, than had arrived by boat.
"Another misconception is that people who arrive by boat are illegal immigrants. This is not the case," Ms Branson said. "Australia, as a signatory to the Refugee Convention, is obliged to assess asylum seekers' claims."
Ethnic Communities' Council of Queensland executive manager Ian Muil said he was not surprised by the figures.
"There are a large number of people who do overstay their visas and want to settle here and haven't got permanent residency," he said.
"It's not of great concern to Australia, if you compared it to the number of people who arrived by plane."
The documents released to The Courier-Mail show three in four illegals came here on tourist or work visas; one in seven arrived as students and one in 15 disappeared after being granted temporary residency.
Monash University migration expert Bob Birrell said tens of thousands of foreign students expecting to live here once their courses were finished were now scrambling to find other ways to stay after immigration laws were tightened last year.
"A surge in the number of students who have overstayed without any form of bridging visa is a reflection of their desire to extend their stay by hook or by crook," he said.
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said less than 0.1 per cent of visitors overstayed their visas, many leaving soon after and before immigration involvement.
