Simplistic rubbish that says nothing about what these people who should 'go home' :mad: contribute to the economy of this country.

Please quote any post of mind that says anyone SHOULD go home (except odd references to murders / rapist / criminals)

If 3 million people go home

The one you've just made! Clearly you are saying this country would have all the benefits you list if they were not here....so from that we can assume you think they should go home? Or am I mistaken in coming to that conclusion. Perhaps you meant the exact opposite. Perhaps you actually want them to stay here to give you a purpose in life perhaps?

Wheezy_2

I'm Belgian (no jokes please;)) and I'll be 'going home' in around 3 hours time.
'Home' being our house near the Middlesex/Surrey borders, 'Home' as the UK where I've been living, working and paying (quite a lot) of taxes for the last 17 years.
But apologies anyway for driving on 'your' roads, stealing 'your' jobs and burdening 'your' NHS.
Cheers.

Good on you. I apologise to you and squirm with embarrassment at some of the xenophobic rubbish people write. There are a lot of decent people in this country who do not think the same way as some of the 'types' on this site. Hopefully that will be confirmed tomorrow morning;)

Cells posed the question what would happen IF 3 million went home

I replied to the question of what would happen IF 3 million went home
I made no suggestion that they SHOULD go home.

Read my edited reply above because I predicted your response. Usual dog whistle politics from you.

you came here is good faith and I hope you have been made very welcome and I hope you choose to stay.

every country in the world, including Belgium have immigration rules and none allow unlimited immigration.

what exactly is your point?

No, I don't think they should go home and nowhere have I said it did.

So what was the point of your post then?

I was answering a hypothetical post by Cells about what would happen if 3 million migrants went home. He predicted a disaster, I disagreed.

Why did you bother to post if you aren't interested in that debate?
