Illegal immigrants or undocumented, or those making false asylum claims (approximately 33%).

This. Their argument has been hijacked. If they rid themselves of these violent muppets, have a strong and coherent argument then I'll listen a second time. Until then, it's off the table.
That rule would make half the rioters stateless.

No, because as always, it’s the loud minority who make the headlines not the quiet unhappy workers in Blackburn, Rochdale, Oldham, The Ridings, Clacton and Southend

Why is it that any simple question you don't like, and can't fault, must therefor have been written in a 'condescending' manner ? It's a simple question FFS.
But if you're going to totally ignore all evidence to the contrary 'I don't agree that there is a desire to come to the UK because of family or language' and instead just going to roll off your 'theories' then I don't think this 'discussion' is getting very far.
Probably condescending again

A citizenship test for all present and future citizens - I knew we would eventually agree on something this disappointing morning
I'm not going to name it because no doubt you will have been to a bigger, better, cooler, more expensive restaurant than me and everyone else....yawn yawn yawn I'm a 'grandpa' who knows nothing about music remember.
Let’s start with educating those morons on the street….they clearly have zero respect for our laws.

So Illegal refugees wasn't the right term?
those that are denied asylum are usually deported so it is unlikely to be them.
Who are the illegal immigrants you are referring to?
people usually call those claiming asylum illegal immigrants (although its not illegal to claim asylum from within a country - part of the language used to vilify them). I am unsure what the difference between these and the undocumented people you refer to. But neither of these groups are usually in the community as they are housed in hotels or centres while their claims are being processed.

Silly old bat
I was made redundant aged 52 after 25 years in the electricity supply industry. NPower took over, and what was an accounts office, was transferred from where I worked to the NE where instead of paying us £18K a year, the workers were paid £10K a year to just answering the phone in a call centre sticking to a script, and not helping anyone.
So moving work to employ people on cheaper wages can happen within the country, and nothing to do with foreign labour.
All in the name of profits.

There are more empty properties than homeless people, so enough flats and homes to give everyone a roof over their heads.
But the rights of investors who buy several properties and then leave them empty (for investment or tax purposes), and the rights of second-homers, are always vigorously defended.
There were several letters in The Sunday Times yesterday bitterly condemning local councils who tried to keep out people (often wealthy Londoners) who bought a second/holiday home which was empty 50 weeks of the year, and so depleted the stock of (affordable) housing for local/young people.
As always, the problems caused by the uncontrolled free-market, the rights of property-owners, and simple greed, are then blamed on immigrants; it's as tiresome as it is lazy.
