This nonsense, a waiter in London is no more productive that a waiter any else and anyway totally irrelevant.
We already have a massive current account deficit; sending money to foreign countries does us further harm as the pound will have to fall both to fund the extra imports the immigrants require and the money they send abroad.
We have absolutley no requirement for a large number of immigrants: they reduce our quality of life and add no benefits.
I know you don't really believe the nonsense you post but I will accept it is inventive even if economic rubbish.
I used to think that too but its not the case, productivity isnt how many sandwiches you can produce in an hour its how much stuff you can buy with an hour of your labor and the waiter in Poland on that metric is less productive than the waiter in London0 -
I know plenty of people living with parents or living in shared houses when they don't want to.
By living with parents or living in shared houses they should save enough to put a deposit on their first modest home.0 -

Actually, you may find the pound being weak against other currencies prompts more Eastern Europeans to consider whether living here is worth their loss when sending money home, and could start considering other eu countries to land in. After all would you bring your family to a country that may ultimately kick you out or reduce your rights? The mere thought may be enough to start reducing eu migration.0 -

let me guess
when you used to think something different ; nevertheless that proved that unlimited population growth was fantastic even if people lived in rabbit hutches
and then you learned better, that still proved unlimited population growth was fantastic even though people lived in ever smaller hutches.....................
and all the people were happy and carefree0 -
If you want your rabbit to have a bigger hutch why don't you just build one instead of blaming everything on non-native rabbits?0

indeed, that is being done
however, other bunnies are constantly arriving and need hutches too.
the resulting overcrowding is an inevitable consequence and nothing to do with blame.
the result is obvious to anyone that cares to see.0 -
One could argue that if people stopped pumping out bunnies, things would be better overall.0

I think pre-arrival is probably going to be the requirement. The NHS isn't made of money.0 -

When do the reruns of Love They Neighbour start?
Immigrants? No, I'm talking about everyone.0
