Immigration vital to the Nation's finances...

The responses on this thread have exposed an interesting parallel ...
Charities don't really want to solve the problems that they have been set up solve. Otherwise they would be out of a job.
Hamish doesn't really care about immigrants, he just wants house prices to go up.
In both cases, there is a conundrum at the heart of their thinking which they cannot reconcile.
Hence the bull5h1t that they come out with in their defence.0 -

Seems quite clear that ordinary people are seeing right through Farage.
Now shouting out in public that he's a "xenophobe" and full of "rubbish".
Excellent news.
Ha ha - you can't help tying yourself up in knots can you.
Ordinary people?
I think not. Labour Hecklers is what they were.0 -
There was a tv program discussed at length which aired a week or so back.
It featured one of our A-roads which runs the length of England; I think it was the A5 (not sure though).
For some unusual reason it attracts a lot of immigrant familes who live alongside it.
When asked about how they feel about their situation in UK, a common view coming back was "in limbo". It turns out that coming here didn't prove to be the promised land expected, and they felt unable to go back due to finances and other reasons.
It makes you wonder who really gains. It's obviously businesses who win, with the cheap resource on offer. I suspect there are plenty of other middle men who cash on bringing people over too.
It's clearly more complex than "all immigrants are bad" or "immigrants are wonderful".0 -
Not much support on here either

Excellent thread.
The ONS is of course correct, immigration is vital to the nations finances and indeed, wider economic health.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Amusing.
You've claimed that a cross party pro immigration group have proved immigration is vital.
And then gone on to call a thread you created as an excellent thread.
You should write your own book. You could them nominate yourself as the best author there ever was as you'd never connected quite so much with the content of a single book.0 -

Of course, you never mention it then.....:rotfl:
I never post anti-immigration group stuff. I'm an immigration lawyer.
I still think the data is pretty meaningless, though....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
