    Ah, but that's why they chose monetary union first, to fool the other countries in joining, then due to limitations, enforce fiscal union, once they were signed up !!

    Signed, sealed and delivered United states of Europe

    And that's why the UK, MUST escape ASAP !!!

    You may not like mention of the fact that young immigrants come here and start families, but it's fact. And that needs to be born in mind when people say, the migrants work in the NHS but don't use it. That's a false argument and as you say in your first sentence, many more immigrants work outside the NHS than work in it.

    No one sensible blames immigrants. Voters look to government for a sustainable policy. Government will be accountable for all immigration after the end of next March.

    I have just seen the funniest headline and nearly choked on my cup of tea.
    "How France wants to become a Teck giant"
    ...<laugh>
    ...<laugh>

    They still use cheques in the supermarkets!
    I won't mention the banking where I paid in £300 and it took 20 minutes with 3 different people passing around paper and stapling it. I am not joking.

    Nope I wish I had made it up. He seems like the sort of lad you might have to deal with on a drunken Saturday night mate. He is a decorator on a job I'm on and I **** you not, those were his words. That's the sad thing about.

    Government should be accountable now though mate. If they followed procedure then any not working and paying in to the system could have been removed after 3 months.

    Why would he not like to mention it? It’s a positive. We, like most developed nations, have a serious issue with an ageing population. We need more young people and we need them to pump out kids.

    It's a fact that EU immigrants have a positive impact on our economy, but then facts weren't a big part of the referendum campaign, were they?

    We take in the city the size of Birmingham every three years. Multiply that by a factor to represent expanding families. How big do you want our population? 100 million? 200 million? Should there be an upper limit in you view?

    It is sad but the deprived area where the builds are really struggle on a day to day basis. Even the local primary school resembles a prison. Gangs of kids on the streets instead of in education, boarded up houses. Smack heads laying on pavements....welcome to Great Britain

    As big as it needs to be to sustain our ageing existing population. We aren’t particularly densely populated.

    The population has gone up by about a quarter in half a century. It’s really not as rapid as the Mail scaremongerers would have us believe.

    Let's hope it doesn't happen. Could do with some optimistic scenarios but they seem a tad scarce wouldn't you agree

    Are you discussing scenarios or forecasts? :1980_boogie_down: 1-0 and you probably don't even understand the reply?
