In 1990 the UK had 55m people today it has 62-63m a massive increase because of uncontrolled mass immigration. The UK is one of the only countries in the world to not have controls on Immigration. It cannot control the numbers that come nor can it control where they come from. The number one issue amongst British voters is the economy and how it relates to immigration yet this thread is full of horse race punditry and final seat total BS. The reason nobody on this thread is talking about immigration is because you haven't seen what it has done to UK first hand or are too PC to confront it. That is why 70% of voters in a daily mail poll said no to more migrants. The UK is not the US it cannot intake and retain these high numbers of immigrants. But continue on with your prognostications and insights while The nation goes down the tubes.
its only people from within the EU that can come here without having a VISA approved. EU population is 500M. Take the 64M UK population away from that and you are left with 436M. Thats just 6% of the world that can come here without a VISA.
(63-50)/25 = 0.52 million increase a year. (63-50)/50 = 0.26% increase (I always forget which number goes in the denominator, is this right?). That's barely population replacement growth. For those of you who have short memories, Britain has always found unique ways to reduce its population if there were agricultural problems (no, we won't forget). In fact, most economists would agree that Britain needs more immigrants, not fewer. All this talk from Wally about immigration being the death of Britain runs counter to macro 101.
Yes seen it in Luton, Leicester, Bradford and London. When British soldiers are being murduered in the street in cold blood with machetes by extremists with immigrant orgins then their is a problem. But why would a German care about the UK........
And why is that? It's because they are imported them for lower wages that they would pay British workers.
EU migrants, non-EU migrants they all have have had a net negative impact for the UK since 1948 the EU has just made matters 100 times worse. and what's wrong with a DM poll? Would you rather I quote from the guardian or telegraph?
Segregation, non-assimilation, extremism, welfare dependency, alienation, ethnic enclaves and overall hostility to local culture. Part of it is a reaction to discrimination and newness to the country I suppose.
Well Im sure you can see this in every major city in the US and it is called Chinatown. As for the welfare dependency - UKs own fault not to regulate who's a citizen and who should be allowed to get benefits. Nothing to write home about rly what you come up with here.
His post reminded me of my wife's Lithuanian relatives, who disapproved of a Lithuanian marrying a Hong Kong woman. My wife's response - "She's marrying down. A lot."
No. The NHS operates with clear salary bands - this isn't the dodgy private sector. They are needed because successive governments have failed to get enough people trained to fill the needs of the service.

Could the conservatives and SNP work together of the conservatives offer them another referendum (say if UK votes on the EU and vote to leave, the Scotland would have the right to leave the UK or at least vote on it).
