    That's **** n all

    But hundreds and hundreds of thousands move to the UK every single year through legal channels.

    That's too much for any welfare state imo.

    no we have a trade surplus over USA . The difference with the EU we have a trade deficit in manufactured goods but this is outweighed by our services surplus and luckily Trumps emphasis is on the former .

    I agree but how many of these are temps through being students or temp visas for people that are only going to be working here a year or two before going home?

    Yeah you’re right. **** knows what I was looking at. Are we in a surplus for goods and services? Maybe I was only looking at one if we aren’t.

    Probably a lot, but then again, how many actually go home, then you have another difficult question etc etc.

    Doing everything we can to stop people who are breaking the law as soon as they arrive is an obvious policy and no one disagrees

    But looking at legal numbers is the priority because it's WAY more people.

    You think that's bad? were spending 8m per day to feed dress and keep them.

    I dont see why we can't just go get all of them in the hotels and put them on the Bibby Stockholm and send em back.

    I'd also post the army to the relevant coastlines with permission to shoot anything that comes.

    That will stop or at least stem the tide of people paying 5k to cross the water to get all the freebies in the UK in no time

    Having seen the figures, China and the EU are the ones that are the problem (in Trumps logic) for the US, big problem, off the chart. China more than the figures even show, because suggestions are that China are pumping whatever through Mexico, hence why Mexico is exporting more goods into the US and why their figures are so high, they are not Mexican goods they are Chinese goods (components and stuff I think), but don't know if Trump knows that bit or even worked it out...he'll go nuts when he eventually does find out, because he promised Mexico no tariffs for another 30 days. <laugh> Albeit for 10k soldiers on the border, so he'll be happy for now.

    Yes it is, but I’d also hazard a guess that we are way short on our estimations of illegals entering the UK. Who is more likely to be committing crime? The people who have come here through the correct channels and we know exactly who they’re or the people that have lobbed their passports in the channel?

    Btw, I’ve blamed success governments for our housing shortage. None of them have kept up with the pace that the population has exploded. Do you agree that we need to start seeing more emigration than immigration for a few years? (include illegals in the emigration figures)

    <laugh>

    All he does is posture and go in heavy to get what he wants. It would have been interesting if Canada and Mexico had have said crack on then and let him follow through with his threats. He could have properly alienated the US and made them an economic and trade outcast.

    He’s doing my tits in tbh. He’s got the conversion rate bouncing all over and I’m not sure when to weigh my money in for Jamaica and get it changed over to dollars lol

    Just for fun.

    Try find a picture of one these boats with a woman or child on it.

    And I mean a real child not the 40yr old men claiming to be 15 when they arrive.

    Which is a whole other problem because if they get asylum they are going to school.. With actual children.

    Not poking you in particular but Im yet to see a woman or a child on any of the boats I've seen pictures of.

    And not even as much as a thank you from the remainers <doh>

    We’ve got a great chance to capitalise on both sides here. I’d probably change the chancellor now to someone with a great deal of experience. The current one is useless.
