Immigration population up another 700k

[Atallglassimdof]

I understand that this country needs immigration but if you import 100,000s of low skilled workers, in their 30s and 40s, how are they going to fund their retirement or pay for their housing?

It just seems counterintuitive to bring loads of people into this country who will need considerable financial support ( housing benefits, pension credits) when they are no longer able to work, and don’t have the means to support themselves.

And unoriginal. Don’t these posters feel a bit embarrassed at such of imagination.

It's called sea lioning. And yes, it's purposefully annoying.

Thanks for the support…not surprised at all as we are dealing with the lowest common denominator types ! 😂🤣that is their stock answer…when challenged …you gotta laugh…

Just your nonsense.

Do you work in this sector? nope, do you get your info from FB/YouTube/drunk guy in the pub? YES.

"Naive" used to down play the facts.....

Ah! the insults come thick and fast from the far right... as per usual.

Lets look at some facts, 68m people in the UK, a few 1000 protesting, many of whom then go home and beat up their partners.

2 in 5 rioters arrested last year are known to the Police for DV.... some even for CSA..... NI Terrorist violence, inc kidnapp...

Great the sort of people you wish to be associated with.

It's a huge dilemma for each and every government no matter who they are.
It's a case of getting people out working, paying income tax, to cover the costs of paying out pensions, benefits and Disability payments. On a national level.

Weall do it. Don't we need to work to pay bills? We can only future plan to an extent

My neighbour got so wound up about a chat regarding immigrants he turned round and punched his girlfriend for agreeing with a slight opposing view. True story

Considering you risk being imprisoned in the U.K. for ‘racist’ social media posts it’s amazing how many brave people are out protesting about immigration -good on them

You dont get imprisoned for being racist, you get imprisoned for being found guilty of a crime such as hate speech or inciting racial hatred or encouraging extremism etc

Just like, I think it might have been another thread actually but my mind wanders, someone posted that people have been imprisoned for protesting about climate change. No they werent, they were imprisoned for being found guilty of a crime, most likely a public order offence or criminal damage.

Yes men who beat up their partners & abuse their kids..... "So brave so noble"

They are dickheads as is anyone who backs them

Can you write in English please? Your rants are becoming more and more incoherent.

My wife suceeded well before she met me, from coming here alone as a child not speaking any English to becoming a succesful and valuable member of British society! I'm a white British bloke, and have never understood this fear of 'other' and how it is whipped up by the far right to manipulate people.

I don't understand it either - Britain thrives as a result of multicultural influence

Im glad about your wife

It's successive governments taking the easy route of scapegoating "brown people" and riding the wave of racism that run through many bits (despite our invading of hoards of countries and imposing our religion, rules and culture on them) rather than admitting their failings. Easy to blame "foreigners"

Notice there's not a similar sentiment overall to white Ukrainian immigrants- apart from a few vile people on local groups telling them to "fuck off home and get bombed"

Shameful

I don't agree with what you're saying about care home workers being low skilled.

However there is no way that care homes should be allowed to make a profit. They are leeching away people's life savings into their own greedy hands. They should all be not for profit.

I know a care home owner and I think they are disgusting. Obsessed with money, houses, status symbols.

They should have charitable status, capped wages for executives and much better wages and regular training for the employees at the sharp end.

Whether they are British or not.

’racist’ or, uh…. racist

Good for her. What’s your point?

Exactly. It’s real full-blown disgusting racism, and they’ll always awkwardly contort themselves to deny it. Lucy Connolley is shitting in a bucket because she was racist and called for a pogrom.

How many more people can we fit on this small island?

Just stunning to me, someone complaining ‘oh no you can get in trouble for being incredibly racist on the internet’

It’s not even ‘being racist on the internet’ there’s loads of racist shite on this site and half of it doesn’t get deleted, let alone treated as criminal. But someone’s always got to pop up crying that theyre being oppressed about it

All you have to do is look at comments on news articles to see hundreds of thousands of racist comments. Many of them stomach turning. These people are not being jailed or oppressed, they're free to wish death on refugees as loudly and as disgustingly as they like

I know what you mean but I find it almost impossible to believe that they’re all real. Either I live in a large and protected bubble, or else people who seem normal are popping online to be depraved as a hobby, or… somethings not right

I would hope they aren't but the undertones i sense from people in real life out and about suggest they do wish death on people - they just wont say it until they can hide behind a keyboard

You've missed the main point of the whole issue. We are a small island that cannot cope with a vast influx of people. People that havent contributed and that often need other people (the taxpayer) to support them financially.

No one cares about your wife. And it's offense to suggest the majority of people have a "a fear of the other". It's counterproductive to your argument for a start and just winds people up because it's not true.

Britain is not thriving "as a result of multicultural influence " though. Is it.

Thats your opinion and I disagree

Multiculturalism has made Britain stronger, not weaker.

It has brought in essential workers for the NHS, care homes, transport, hospitality, construction, and more. Immigrants have kept public services going when there weren’t enough British-born workers to fill the gaps.

It has filled labour shortages, grown the economy, and added billions in tax revenue every year. Immigrants are more likely to be working-age, which helps fund pensions and social care in an ageing population.

Multicultural communities have opened businesses, created jobs, and revived struggling high streets. They’ve introduced new food, new music, new festivals, and new ways of thinking that are now part of everyday British life.

Children in multicultural schools grow up more tolerant, more aware, and better prepared for a global world. Our universities and research institutions are stronger because of international students and academics.

Multiculturalism hasn’t harmed British identity. It is British identity now. British culture isn’t static — it’s always changed and evolved. The UK without multiculturalism would be poorer, older, and stuck in the past.

So you've never benefited from anything from another culture? Never enjoyed a curry, supported a diverse football team, watched a carnival, needed an emergency hospital appointment, benefited from a clean street, If you enjoy the benefits of modern Britain, you’re already living the result of multiculturalism and immigration whether you admit it or not. You can't erase the diversity that has shaped us.
