ALThat is folksy common sense but it doesn't mesh with the real world.It assumes an economy is static with a fixed amount of work to go round. That ain't how the real world works. Study after study after study have shown that hard working immigrants grow economies faster than they take out. So there's more work available. And wages don't get depressed.I've just heard Philip Hammond on the radio bumbling through an interview about why wages haven't risen for ordinary workers over the past decade. He and Osborne are the problem. They were the ones who took growth out of the economy through their insane Austerity policies. And then the far Right moves in and says "Them f**king immigrants are what's keeping your living standards down".It's the oldest story in politics. Goes back centuries. And have a guess who was the most successful exponent of that game (for a decade or so).
Billy lad. Instead of searching endlessly on the internet for figures that support your argument, why don't you do a bit of your own research and walk round Doncaster town centre?When you've done that get back to me.I was going to suggest walking through Hexthorpe but somehow I don't think you've got that Kate Adie instinct.
Why so you can play your usual racist card? Go and find out for yourself. Take Billy with you.
BST. This is far too serious a subject to be funny. Have you walked through Donny town centre with Suicidal Syd yet?
This is funny BB and a bit sad.''Elton John: 'I am a European – not a stupid, imperialist English idiot''''The singer says Brexit has made him ashamed to be British, while performing in Verona during his final world tour''https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/31/elton-john-brexit-not-imperialist-english-idiot-verona
AL2) How many idle scrounging immigrants are there?3) How much do they cost us?
NNK. What is racist about wanting a points-based system based on migrants from all over the world?

He'll just have to check with the Mail and the Express to answer those questions BST. But I'm feeling generous, so I'll help him out The worrying thing to me is that people like AL not only believe these lies, they propagate them. No wonder we're in the mess we are!
NNW. So you're not suggesting that the Mail and Express front pages you show are racist?
This country is vastly overpopulated. FACTGetting rid of people who shouldn't be here should the first step in putting this right and returning this country into a green and pleasant land it once was, rather than the grey, concrete, scum ridden, shithole it has become thanks to the likes of Tony Blair teaching us all a lesson.
So they're not racist then, sorted.Now then, back to the points-based system. Let's reword it for you. What is wrong about wanting a points-based system based on migrants from all over the world, instead of one where European's get preference?
