I agree entirely; we need migrants across the country. Some Scottish Ilses have even run advertising campaigns.



There is none, because our government are incompetent. I've never said otherwise.
But why not address the problem (government incompetence) instead of the symptom (migrants driving up population faster than infrastructure can handle)?





The SNP have been trying pretty hard to mitigate the worst of the Tory cuts, but we've seen a degradation in almost everything up here too.

So all we need to do is to tell the Shetland Isles that they can expect 1million migrants and all the other Scottish Isles the same and there is an end to the problem?

Aye.

When it's so blindingly obvious that all these 'problems' they try to blame on immigrants are in fact either non-existent or entirely of our own making, the true motive behind such posting is clear...

A resident of an area of the U.K. with minimal inward migration and who’s public services are handsomely subsidised by England, lectures on immigration again.
The lack of political self awareness is staggering.

A degradation nothing on the scale of England it has to be said.
By SNP mitigation, you mean running a multi- billion pound budget deficit of course.
You and your fellow 6 million Scots are now ‘responsible’ for 30% of the total U.K. deficit.

Can you explain to me how this Marakesh Declaration, which is about "defending the rights of religious minorities in predominantly Muslim Countries" can turn all migrants into refugees with almost certain asylum status?
I just can't see the link. I guess you're saying they can claim to be a persecuted minority and then claim asylum, but that's the opposite of what the declaration is stated to do, so presumably it closes off that loophole?

Perhaps it’s this one? http://www.un.org/en/conf/migration/

True, you guys are getting it a lot worse than we are. You should elect politicians that don't screw you at every opportunity.

I personally have always championed the idea that improving productivity through technology is the best way to raise living standards, whilst maintaining a place worth living in.

Why not do both? Improve productivity AND infrastructure?

I can show you a company here which doesn't need to invest in tech, because it can get cheap labour basically....so why bother?

I'm off to see an automated plant in a couple of weeks...in Poland of all places ! :rotfl:

It should be interesting. I've nothing against skilled and motivated migrants.

From the sky? We do live in a country with quite a bit of precipitation if you hadn't noticed yet, busy as you are analyzing your local Polish community.
But thanks for the chuckle.
'The furreners are stealing our water!' :rotfl:

So how are you going to increase the rainfall?

And I said nothing about foreigners stealing our water, I simply stated that, in a country that already has frequent water shortages, increasing the population by such a large percentage is not going to help matters.

As fod analyzing the local Polish community, it would be a bit tricky as they do not like outsiders.

I think that Schengen is an excellent idea.
Jiuning the Euro at the right rate would be a good move
A European army sounds a better and better idea with Trump in the Whitehouse rocking the NATO boat.

So asked and answered. Now onwards to discuss Britains future outside the EU and less discussion here about the EU.

Britians only concern about the EU from now on surely is as the EU as Britains customer.
What is Britain going to sell to the EU? That seems an interesting question.
