    Yes, again I get the point. My point is that at the current rate even if that’s minimum wage (over £10 now but I get the point) there are still huge numbers of vacancies so either those who determine the wage rate don’t care that there are widespread vacancies or they’ve decided that they won’t operate at higher wages.

    A lack of workers should lead to higher wages to attract more workers. Wages aren’t being suppressed by migrant labour. They’re being suppressed by the capitalist insistence on profit over everything.

    The British public have every right to expect the Home Office to do a professional job for every person entering the country, whether it’s by legal or illegal means
    Anyone not able or willing to show a legal passport, provide their country of birth, religion, be checked for criminal records in countries they’ve lived in before, and then have their fingerprints and biometric details recorded and stored by UK authorities should be immediately deported to the country they came from
    Around 85% of British Muslims vote Labour according to polls
    Every foreign person settling in Britain should be forced to adopt British ideals, ethics and outlook. Because those that don’t, and who refuse to learn or speak English, put their children into faith schools and such like, are a major reason for the divisions that multiculturalism has created here such as no go areas for the majority.of the indigenous population.

    Interesting that Germany are now reevaluating their own ‘all welcome’ stance for all of the issues that Merkels failed experiment have created

    They’ve learned the hard way and we may have to do the same

    Bank of England Staff Working Paper No. 574

    Sorry this is a study from the bank of England. Immigration puts pressure on pay.

    Final_EEA_report.PDF (publishing.service.gov.uk)

    Another report. This outlines immigration impact on wage distribution, where higher-paid workers gain and the low-paid lose out.

    You may want to read about the iron law of pay. Social care rates of pay are kept at a subsistence level. Non-UK nationals make up 17 per cent of the social care workforce. That is one of the highest rates in Europe for a sector with average pay close to the statutory minimum wage.

    Yes. It’s not difficult but I’ll try. I don’t have an issue with an immigrant per se moving into my street or area but some appear to do so.

    You asked me if I wanted to increase the population of your area via immigration. I said I don’t care either way. Ideally there would be more migration to areas that need it but there’s normally a good reason those areas are under-populated.

    Not an answer to the question. You said some and come up with nada. People move in and out of areas and communities barely change. My Mrs family moved here in the 70's and immigration levels were far lower than now. The impact of my Mrs family moving into their community was there wasn't one they assimilated into the community. Fifty years later what was tens of thousands is now hundreds of thousands and theres an impact and that change should be managed better.

    Well yeah. Things probably changed in the fifty years before that as well. I’ve chosen to move to a place that I like for various reasons. If the demography of the area hasn’t changed to your liking then you have options.

    I’m glad you love it. No reason to move then.

    Missed the point. I should not have to move and our community should be valued

    Presumably the masses of people moving in like something about it otherwise they wouldn’t choose to live and/or study there.
