I would rather control migration sensibly and plow the money into services that are already struggling under the current population numbers0 -

That's not going to happen. There is no space here in the south east. And there are no jobs in the north.
After 20 years of mass migration can't you see that?
Or would you rather carry on deluding yourself?
A million people every 3 years is 4 Newcastles. How do you fit that into the SE? That ain't going to happen. Stop deluding yourself.
Do we even want to keep building four Newcastles every 3 years? Why would we do that?
Even Tony Blair has finally decided that the days of mass migration are over.0 -
Just out of interest all your who believe in unrestricted mass migration - at what point would you have see it as a problem?
You clearly think a million every 3 years is acceptable. 2 million every 3 years? 3 million every three years?
You don't actually care about British people being homeless? They should move to another country? Poland maybe? Lithuania?0 -

Hamish and many pro-EU and/or pro-remain advocates in these threads have a habit of being rather lax with their wording, facts and definitions.
So let's hear the disagreement for the facts contained in this:

Successive governments have chosen not to reduce immigration because no matter what they may say, in reality they know full well we need more immigration.
They've always had mechanisms to further control it.
They've just chosen not to use those mechanisms.
They've chosen not to reduce immigration and created a housing crisis and static wages. And now they are feeling the full wrath of the English voter if they don't act.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -
Come on Hamish - tell us where you're building your 4 Newcastles every 3 years?
The anticipation is killing me.
I wager we will never get an answer......Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

Can you summarise, so I don't need to click a link towards a radio show presented by a far-right despot? Cheers.0 -

I wager we will never get an answer......this means that the proportion of England's landscape which is built on is…… 2.27%.
