Youre the one with the flawed ideology and logic.
You are an intelligent lad surely you dont really believe that figures do not get manipulated to support an argument?
Its what all politicians, regardless of the party do best. In their world its called 'Spin'.
Highly skilled immigrants yes they are needed but immigrants undercutting lower paid workers and tradesmen is not good for the economy.

That couldn't be further from the truth. It is in fact a highly complex issue, simplified by those with linear views.

It isn't debated amongst politicians, academics and the mass populous because there's an obvious answer.

In simple terms what do pissed up scumbags offer our society? Nothing. We have hundred of thousands of our own. Its a shame we cannot give them to another country but no country would be daft enough to take them. But two wrongs dont make a right.
Therefore, what logical sense does it make to allow the scumbags of another country to come here with no desire to work and put further strain on our social housing problem and public services?
We are in agreement some immigration is important surely we can agree the scumbag element shouldnt be here living off our state?

The aforementioned foreign "scumbags" are in such a tiny minority when compared to their British counterparts that I feel it hardly worth discussing. I'd prefer to address the homegrown variants first, as there are more.

OhhhGa wrote:Also, there are countries with far greater immigration levels than the UK. The UK has less than 3% of the worlds immigrants, and only 8% of our population are immigrants themselves. If you consider that the majority of this 8% are not the scumbags you have mentioned, then you really are discussing a tiny majority. (Who obviously should not be here.)
So why make such a big deal out of so few?

Tiny minority? Come to Merthyr and see how wrong you are.
Had to step over one such vodka induced Pole earlier on my way to the Chinese (The positive side of immigration )

There is a world outside Merthyr.
You are discussing a tiny minority of this country as if they're the answer to everything, when realistically their absence would have little to no impact.

Try telling that to the hundreds of Eastern Europran scumbags who have come to Merthyr in search of the Golden Goose.
I never said they were the answer to everything?
It doesnt matter if there are 500 immigrant scumbags in the country or 500,000 they shouldnt be here as they offer nothing and add to our problems.
Perhaps when you start paying taxes you wont be so kind to them.
By your logic shall we not bother wasting our time punishing rapists as they make up such a tiny minority of society?

From Human trafficking to petty theft and having no car insurance (which I can personally vouch for )
Weve get enough of a war on our hands with our own scumbags without allowing other countrys undesireables in.
But you keep tellng yourself its all fabricated by the media.
