Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

I wonder how many Doctors, Nurses, care workers and other health care professionals came here as immigrants, or are the offspring of immigrants.

I'd wager a lot of money that those figures would look favourably at even more immigration, from both inside and out with the EU - more willing workers is a route towards a growing economy, M's Merkel quickly had that sussed.

Yes and I wholely agree but it has to happened in a controlled manner and not open doors policy, I never said I was against immigration just uncontrolled immigration which is why the country is how it is now... we need to stem the flow and let our infrastructure catch up... Merkel though won't allow us to do that.

It's raining outside, that'll be those sodding immigrants fault.

And its dark, that'll be the EU to blame.


I got stuck in traffic yesterday and missed an appointment - bonus on this one, I can blame the EU and those sodding immigrants.

They aren't great at tightening wheel nuts either .......

Controlling immigration is touted as being the panacea for all of our ills, there's going to be some ackward silences from those who advocate this nonsense when it's realised it isn't.

So allowing the population to increase by 300,000 every year is good then....

If you go back to the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's the UK welcomed people with open arms. They integrated and most people were happy. More importantly, the HAD to integrate to get on..... but now integrating seems almost last on their lists of priorities..... they want to "build" their lives here as if they are somewhere else....

Is that any worse than allowing the population of the UK to grow by 800,000 every year, irrespective of our ability to support such a increase ?


At least there's potentially a significant number of those 300,000 that will be immediately supporting themselves, or be highly motivated to do so.
 
Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

Its like you said sean earlier, you live in an area where immigration isn't on your doorstep, I just wonder how rosy it would be if youwere affected:-

-when you see your mates replaced on site for cheaper Labour from Europe and out of a job still (how is this benificial to our society when they send the money back home).
-when your mate who teaches junior school see's children coming in where English isn't their first laungage and you have to focus more on those pupils at the expense of your others thus seeing education standards drop for the class as a whole (long term effecting education standards across the board)
- when you get admitted to hospital you get a operation on the wrong eye because the Doctor cannot speak full English or read your report properly (Yes that happened to me).. how many times has this happened across the services, you would be shocked!
- when your police forces has to spend more money on interpreters than funding vital resources
- when gangs of Eastern Europeans roam your street drunk at night, putting the fear into everyone and by day they are funding their livestyle by crime, as if we didn't have our own idiots we attract all the EU ones too..

If your getting my drift by now, no again I'm not scaremongering this happens all over, when it directly effect you then see if you still hold the same thoughts on the matter, I see or know of people directly involved in these services above who are by no mean racist or xenophobic yet they all seem to repeat the same thing... immigration is too high and we cannot cope.
 
Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

This is akin to urinating in an ocean in an attempt to raise the water level - pointless.

We disagree Darkwood, the future will prove one of us right.
 
Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

IMV - any country that does not manage its population is by default out of control. Governments massively underestimated (for political reasons I guess) the influx from euro land, so they was no real management of infrastructure. You would not run a company like this and expect to have a high customer satisfaction rate, do there is no surprise people are just fed up with it all. I am for OUT on the pure basis, it is totally out of control. Lets get some control back, make the country a fit place to live and maybe when EU sorts its self out and drops the ludicrous notion of Turkey joining , it my be worth looking at it again , hopefully after I am long gone.
 
Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

The eu will fall to bits when first big player pulls out.of course the eu will make it as difficult as they possibly can for said big player to do this.
Mass immigration is obviously the hot topic that will sway a decision one way or the other.
here is a a micro take on it from a couple of my jobs today.
changed an oven over for a very nice polish couple In a private let
the woman put the rubbish in bags for me and spoke excellent English as did her man.both work ,I have no problem with them at all.
next one which didn't even happen pans out like this...
syrian refugees living in a private let but rented out through the council via letting agent with a private landlord
i know this as I had put smoke detectors the flat prior to them moving into it in November.
gets a email to look at a storage heater yesterday. I was working nearby today and phoned the council housing woman to see about access.
no one knew where she was or why she wouldn't answer her mobile.great.
now when I do finally get access to this job my bill will be dwarfed by the interpreter and the refugee contact officer who will have to accompany me on this visit ,or two if I can't fix it first time.
you don't have to be Andrew Carnegie to work out its not financially viable.
now multiply this by x and see why the governments of Western Europe are looking at this situation in horror.
