SavvyI haven't got a clue what you're talking about. I gave you my sources. I was asking you where your quote from Migration Watch came from and where their substantiation was for their economic claims.
To all those who say the country is overcrowded: what do you think is the optimum population of this country? If you think we're overcrowded you must know at what number the scales were tipped from full to overcrowded.
Are you happy for the already overburdened and overstretched NHS to have to treat all the thousands of immigrants? At a cost of the quality of care offered is much lower in order to cope? Really?

If I was the benevolent dictator of the country I'd want to see it at no more than 50 million.

You haven't spent much time in any hospitals recently have you Boomstick?Without immigrant labour there would be an almighty crisis in the NHS. It is immigrant labour that is keeping the whole thing afloat.

Have we lost the ability to train suitable people to do such work or are the current incumbents a cheap option or merely people doing work that people don't want to do?Another disgrace along with food banks, how we go to these G8 and G20 summits and hold our heads up is beyond me!!!

What figure is too large each year for immigration or are you happy for as many that want to come to be let in? Following your logic there must be an optimum number of immigrants before it becomes self defeating. Your leftie mates can help you out.
Quote from: Mike_F on February 26, 2015, 12:42:16 pmI would've thought a landlord of multiple properties such as yourself would be delighted with demand outstripping supply in the housing market.I don't need to rely on mass immigration to let my properties. I have such an excellent reputation as a landlord I have a queue of people wanting to rent off me. I believe I am the best landlord in the country. My tenants are customers and as such I bend over backwards to ensure they are very happy in my properties. I am a shining beacon in landlord world. I do prefer Polish tenants as they are hardworking and very easy to get along with. They take a pride in living in my properties and don't want to live anywhere else. They are so appreciative of the service I give them that they even bring me gifts when they come back from holiday. I could teach other landlords a thing or two. Of course demand outstripping supply in the housing market is very good news for me financially but I'm not all about money. I would prefer my houses to fall in value because this would mean young people could actually afford to buy a house rather than be condemned to renting all their lives. My children are lucky that they have me as a father. I can make sure they don't fall into the renting trap as I am so wealthy. However I would like children who don't have wealthy parents to be able to afford to buy a house.Unlimited immigration is making this harder and harder as every year passes. That's only one problem. There are many more. Of course there are some benefits to immigration but to maximise these benefits it needs to be controlled.
