Migration

OP posts:

Yes, I agree that it’s migration. Migration in the UK is super important for productivity and achieving the government’s ambitions on growth. We have a shrinking population with increasing numbers of elderly people who are receiving pensions. We need young, working people who pay into the system ie migrants. Has anyone recently complained about how cheap and easy it is to find tradesmen for work at home? If not, then migration is clearly too limited!

You clearly don't live in an area that has had an influx of migrants. Giving opinions from your ivory tower isn't helpful.

Schools are either prison camps or a scene cut from Lord of the Flies.

In some schools, children cower in terror as their human rights are infringed. In others, teachers cower in terror as Andrew Tate reigns in the lessons.

So you think net migration of 980,000 in one year is overblown? Why?

Well, I do live in an area with an ‘influx’ of migrants, and I agree with @Foxyloxy89.

Illegal migration- migration is a big issue but the numbers of legal piss taking is way worse than a few boats.

’Screens’ as a cause of harm to kids. The evidence that ‘screens’ in general are harmful is close to non-existent and the term ‘screens’ is so vague as to be utterly meaningless anyway.
