Re: Another one bites the dust

Well we had enough brain cells to go and vote. If the remoaners had done the same things would be different.

As long as you're not affected!
AS long as you can have a pretty Lithuanian serve you coffee or an Albanian clean your car for cash in the hand or a team of unqualified Polish guys build your new kitchen extenson or atticconversio for lower rates than experienced, well trained, certificated and H&S compliant British workers then it's all good.
Well said mate - I didn't have the patience to be honest...

Still hanging on to the coat tails of the Brexit Fallacy then with typical arrogance. The independent report discredits most if not all of your regurgitated drivel.

Yeh sounds like your IQ level, and to call us remoaners after you lot have spent the last 20 plus years bellyaching without coming up with a viable alternative stretches credulity to the limit.

I agree, Moscow.

It may be also significant that the OP has made no reference to how much of the migrants' salaries is being funnelled back to their country of origin.

Assuming that, say, a third of what they earn hits the pockets of traders back there in Europe, or wherever, rather than being spent here in the UK, that might be quite a big hit on our economy?

That old chestnut again
If I suddenly found I didn't have to pay any more bills I would probably say 'good more to spend on my garden'.

Would that mean I would spend every extra penny I now had on the garden and if I didn't I would be a liar, I think any reasonable person would say not .

In 2016-17 migrants from the EEA (EU plus Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein) paid £4.7 BILLION more in taxes than they received in welfare benefits and public services.

The UK born population was a net cost to the treasury of £41.4 BILLION and non European migrants a cost of £9 BILLION.

Migrants have little or no impact on the overall employment of the UK-born workforce with little effect on wages.

EU migration has brought a massive net benefit for health and social care services both through the taxes paid by migrants and by increasing the work force. "There is NO evidence that migration has reduced the quality of health-care".

There is no evidence that migration has reduced parental choice of schools or the educational attainment of UK-born children.

I could go on but I think those with more than 2 brain cells would have known this already, rather than believing the clap trap of the leave campaign.

How many more of the non-nonsensical reasons to leave did you Brexititer wallies believe
I am not into 'name calling' I find it unnecessary in adult conversation and more suited to the playground.

I get sick of the ill informed and condescending assertions made by some who voted to remain. One example, not all of those myself included who voted leave did so based on the immigration issue. If not one single immigrant from the EU had entered the UK I would still have voted to leave .
I voted to leave because I don't agree with paying large sums of money to belong to some exclusive club and to be told what we can or can't do by unelected eurocrats

I have paid taxes all my working life to a government I can vote against every few years if I so choose, I object to my hard earned money being paid to support another unnecessary layer of government and all that stands for.

Re: Another one bites the dust

Is the guy in the video planning to send all the guardian readers to the Isle of Man and put a fence around them? If anyone wonders why there is no unity on this subject watch him spouting hate again. It's exactly what I was saying the other day. Leave voters are causing a lot of bad feeling towards those who voted remain and this doesn't seem to be abating. If it's not all coming one way then maybe someone could post some similar recent videos from remain voters?

You could say the same for anyone who is a British citizen and buys a home in Spain or goes on holiday to the US.

The value of cheap imported labour is not just related to taxes or spend. It's measured in efficiency and growth. These add value exponentially to the economy as a whole. So if you have a cheaper plumber or factory worker a British citizen has more disposable income to spend on locally produced goods. This leads to growth of local industries which may no longer exist if you remove the cheap workers. Because the people who do come from here won't have the cash to pay for it. So small businesses that have sprung up could fold if the immigrant labour falls and wages go up.
