    If I have to, I will, but not likely to lose my job any time soon, also I have a back up for work. I did not put all my eggs in one skill.

    I am not though I have mostly worked in the food and drinks industry. Cue obligatory Kustard McDonald's joke. I've just left a big multinational company which includes some well-known coffee and food brands. The wages paid to those on the shop floor was scandalous. The NMW is still only £5.55 for those under 21.

    One must make allowances for Kustard's unique brand of English.

    so when you are talking of the 100,000s of people you should name them individually?
    not if they take up valuable resources such as schools, hospitals, doctors, etc.

    They don't - they contribute to society in the same way as everyone else

    The reason we don't have enough hospitals, doctors and schools, is partly down to an ageing population, partly down to an increasing indigenous population and mostly down to lack of investment from Govt to keep up with this. Immigration has very little impact overall.

    You are married to an economic migrant you dolt.

    Unemployment is low. They're doing jobs which are available and generally with little to no competition from the unskilled end. The skilled are filling positions we need them to fill for our infrastructure and public services to work and the economy to grow. Your lifestyle choices mean you'll be using up enough hospital resources for 1000 young, fit economic migrants over the next decade if you somehow live that long and you'll probably be cared for by foreign doctors and nurses too.

    did you just make that up?
    UK population increased by half a million, official figures show
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36605899
    "The increase was driven by "natural growth" (excess of births over deaths) of 171,800 people, and net migration of 335,600, according to the ONS."
    net migration has been approximately twice the excess of births over deaths

    So how does this explain the lack of Govt investment into hospitals and schools ? They've had years of under investment. You're letting them off of the hook by blaming immigrants.

    what lack of investment?
    I'm blaming immigrants because they are the cause
    if you think government should just spend any amount of money to keep up with the extra immigrants that is irresponsible
