So does "far right" mean you're concerned about the impacts of mass immigration?

Why are you posting reports from the Netherlands?

We're giving people visas who either study or work in the UK. Universities depend on foreign cash and we have many thousand NHS vacancies amongst others.

Should we stop filling vacancies and universities with foreign workers?

excellent post - I think the problem is most people have no clue that before the middle of this century, white Brits will become a minority. We are sleepwalking into becoming like the Balkans, with all of the associated social and religious issues.

In a newly released annual report, the Danish Ministry of Finance revealed that the net cost of immigration from non-Western countries, after tax contributions had been deduced, amounted to €4.2 billion ($4.8 billion) in the year 2018.

A team led by mathematician Jan H. van de Beek at the University of Amsterdam estimates that the Dutch government spent approximately €17 billion per year on migration in the period between 1995 and 2019, meaning that more than one billion euros went to migration-related issues every month.

The study digs deeper still: annual net costs of non-Western immigration amount to €17 billion and the annual net benefits of Western immigration total one billion euros. Distinguishing between Western and non-Western migration patterns, the study comes to a startling conclusion: if immigration remains at 2015-2019 levels, the annual budget burden will increase from €17 billion in 2016 to about €50 billion. This is an increase that the welfare state would most likely not survive.

Diversity is our greatest strength.

I was induced and kept in labour for six days because there were empty labour rooms and no midwives. Most had returned home after Brexit and Covid.

So my concern is that there are actually not enough immigrants.

I have lived and worked in other countries and I am very open to and interested in people from different cultures. But there is so much disinformation about the topic of mass migration. My top points would be:

1. Many people from poorer countries would love to live in the UK, USA, Australia etc. Recent surveys suggest more than 30% of people in poor countries would like to move. That would mean 2 billion people would come to the UK if they could. This would have enormous negative impact on the environment, and countryside and culture.

2. There have now been really good studies from the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden showing that while immigrants from rich countries are net contributors to the welfare state, immigrants from poor countries are net expenses. People from Africa and Asia on average cost us British about a million dollars over their life time. There is only so much of this we can afford.

3. Statistics clearly show that English people are now a minority in London, and white English people are a minority of children in school, and white English people will be a minority in the UK by 2040. I think ethnic English people are a really interesting and unique people and culture and for them to be replaced in their own country is in someway a loss, just the same I think having most of the the Maori disappear from New Zealand or the Tutsis or Hutus disappear from Rwanda would also be a loss.

4. Making enormous changes to the ethnic, cultural, religious makeup of a country should only be done with the citizens consultation and consent. We were never consulted and voters have always said they are not really in favour of mass migration.

I hope these points are not too crazy or radical. I really do like and respect people from all different countries and cultures. I am happy to hear other opinions on why mass migration would really be a good idea.

No. It means they're a bigoted twat dressing up racism as concern.

Not ever heard a far righter campaigning for white Australians or white Americans or any other English speaking and white people to go back to where they came from.

Funny that concern comes with a colour chart.

There literally has not ALWAYS been mass immigration to these islands?! What utter nonsense

No one believes in open borders because we wouldn't be able to control the population, we wouldn't have the infrastructure and we would sink under the weight of people.

I just don’t think taking absolutely anyone who wants to come is sensible

Why?

@Nordione1 this subject and people feeling afraid to talk about it only feeds into the genuine far right agenda. I believe one can say certain values, cultural beliefs and religious views ( across all sectors) might not align with my own. This scandal is going to feed into the far right agenda and innocent people will get hurt.

No. It means they're a bigoted twat dressing up racism as concern.

Ok, so why don't you believe in open borders?

I don’t think wanting controlled immigration is extreme right wing. If someone wanted zero migration and also wanted to repatriate all the non whites then yeah I’d say they are a racist.

I’d be delighted to take any high skilled worker from any country in the world. I think if you get into a top ten university to study or are a brilliant scientist then we should be standing at the front door with a bunch of flowers begging you not to leave us. I consider myself to be extremely pro immigration, I think it can be wonderful and helpful to society as a whole to have extremely capable people make the UK their home.

I just don’t think taking absolutely anyone who wants to come is sensible. I think only very unserious people would suggest fully open borders.

Not true. Many left wing people have problems with the colour of people's skin or religion. They just probably don't happen to be the ones you have in mind.
