Baby boomers retiring, ageing workforce. We need 3 million more over the next 5-10 years according to a hugely remain-focused think tank ;)
Its not TB's fault that you don't like them.
That view, of course, is based on the rather iffy premise that constant increase in population is a good or a necessary thing. It isn't. Also, since immigration constituted a net cost to the country of £100 billion between 2004 and 2014 according to the UCL study, please tell me how all this immigration is improving our standard of living or helping our infrastructure?
A UCL study? **** off!
The view is based on a rather old fashioned definition of the volume of working population required to support our retirees. You know, the old ****s that are coining it in now and voted to get rid of the foreigners that were supporting them.
Just out of interest, how is that net cost calculated? Does it include overseas students?
:hehe: You can't have it both ways. That same UCL study was shamelessly spun by pro-immigration types like yourself to pretend that immigration offered a net economic benefit, by looking solely at high-value EU migrants and ignoring the dregs of the third world your chums mysteriously decided to admit. In fact, needless to say, those people cost us a fūcking fortune (not to mention the higher incidence of general crime, rape, acid attacks, refusal to integrate and terrorism they bring with them, of course.
Still... 'diversity' - Yay! :-|
Oh, and by the way, you'll notice that most of southern Europe is awash with unemployed youngsters who could just as easily have been encouraged to migrate here if we needed workers. Instead, Labour decided it would be better to massively increase the numbers of non-European, non-Christian non-white people who have - inevitably - brought with them a host of other problems. Because what's 'diversity' without more brown people, eh?

Told you, didn't I? It's all your fault for letting the Windies off the hook way back when and giving them a easy ride. The reason you don't hate them is purely because you were "not allowed" to hate them. Much better to pick on Aussies and be embarrassed by Saffers. Nothing to do with skin colour, naturally.
Thin end of the wedge though, wunnit. If you had all stood up for what was right and proper back then, you wouldn't be complaining now. Clearly the islams have learned those lessons well.
