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.
