UK net migration hits record high

[BigGully]

Actually when i say young in this context its people who are of working age. And yes that is a horrendous number. We need to do more to give people the right skills to land jobs in todays economy. To let people leave school with little english or maths skills is totlally unacceptable (and i point at both parties here). Without a growing capable workforce then we will accelerate our long economic and political descent

But my point was why do you feel we need more immigration ?

At present there are no specific skills, qualification or visas required from someone within the EU to enter, non at all, but you still say we need more.

More for what ??

And we're off, the first unfounded smear of the thread , anyone wanting to talk about immigration or even take control of our own borders is a ''right wing extremist''.

No. I'm not suggesting that everyone with concerns about immigration is a right wing extremist. But, undoubtedly, among the folk who are most loquacious about the subject are some people who are right wing extremists. And they are deluded if they think it is obvious that an EU referendum will result in the UK leaving the EU.

What a load of drivel, you really let yourself down.

Rubbish, most of the people that are most loquacious are neither a member of a fascist organisation nor a right wing extremist.

Any views being called 'right wing' is reasonable enough, but calling them extremist or a likely member of your above list is absolutely not accurate and not fair.

With the world population predicted to rise from 7.2 to 11 billion by 2100 , it doesn't look as if the UK will be suffering from a shortage of immigrants .

Here we have it, a discussion on immigration, not to your liking, throw in the the normal candidates.
Has it not crossed your mind that most are NOT against immigration but want it controlled, has it not crossed your mind that MANY who do not support your usual list are also against the uncontrolled immigration and the figures....thought not.

 

[lawros left foot]

Of course they're not, you know they're not, I havent forgotten where i've come from though .

So you migrated from some urban hell hole to the leafy Paradise that is Haywards Heath, to improve your quality of life? And yet, you would condemn foreign migrants who are fleeing real possibility of death,for wanting a better quality of life in Britain.



A solution to the housing problem maybe to build thousands and thousands of new low cost houses on Brown field sites.
We could get East European brickies, plumbers, plastered, and sparkies to move to this country to build them

 

[alfredmizen]

Sure but why?

Because certain trades and skills have been massively affected by immigration, i wanted to find out whether your livelihood has been, i think its relevant to the thread.

 

[alfredmizen]

Yeah agree the country is very divided and a lot of these cultures tend to be the highly religious types...Many Eastern Europeans do integrate to be honest and do like a few shandy's and a giggle,but of course all towns and cities can be different.
Mostly it's the pakistani,Indians and blacks that don't integrate and prefer their own patch...this should certainly not be happening,but it has for decades.
Problem is "religion" here as most dislike our culture and way of life...yet feel the need to disrespect us and even though we gave them a new life and a fresh start.
Religion more than anything is causing divide by certain ethic groups.

i disagree there ,i find indians integrate the best out of the 3 groups , but so do some blacks as well.

Ok, understand and disagree that it is relevant
