Blimey 53 posts on a Sunday and thought that some revelationary news had been announced ! but no just the usual rubbish that belongs elsewhere. Here's hoping we get a nice juicy start to the week tomorrow morning, I have a feeling in my waters
We'll have to agree to disagree on brexit. The increased immigration you speak of didn't help save those fish processing plants.
TS
Good afternoon Skull, I agree with your post, but too blame brexit is incorrect.
Brexit has increased immigration which is a good thing.
Lots of people here who want the chance to work hard.
They just need time to adjust.
Maybe government should match legal immigrants with jobs that need doing.
Eactly, Pbow, prosperous nation need immigration to survive, do yiu really think UK would survive if we relisd on us good white folks to do the less rewarding but highly important jobs necessary for a country to operate.. 1984 is an class village idiot who does not understand the basics.
A friend of mine runs a large fresh food who use to use predominantly non brittish workers on his farm. A local mum, badgered him on taking a chance with her 17 year old son. He eventually gave in but wasn't at a surprised that this good white brittsh kid lasted less than a week because he couldn't get up in the morning and put in a decent shift!!! Also know of a few fish processing factories who were shafted by the idiotic brexit belivers who ruined good businesses reliing on non uk migrant workers to operate. Guess what, brittish workers would not even apply for these essential jobs. Get uo early and do hard work? Bet you've never ever experienced that in your life 1984, what a narrow minded, ignorant phukwit you are. Filtered, looking forward to the green!!!!!! Lol!!!!!
I dont think anyone should be holding out for an RNS this week. Its Semana Santa (Holy Week). Government will be closed and would put money that Scott is on his jollies.
An island of solgold wealth! We could use Quady as a gargoyle to keep out trolls like StackLow
Quady it was a typo. Net Migration year ending June 2022 was 745,000. Net Migration year ending June 2023 was 672,000.
Again if 606,000 is correct it is the absolute figure not the net figure. So should be compared to the figure of over a million.
Indeed Jezzo - Lord of the Flies Deux.
Damers "Once we have cashed out, I suggest we all sail off to Craggy Island where we can live in complete peace & harmony, away from this nation as it is completely Fcuked."
Now that WOULD be interesting !
First of all Muslims and Christians live peacefully together in Israel. So not a problem.
Next if you took someone in you would learn a lot.
A “lodger” hey Quady 😜
Always had my suspicions….
I’ve got five bedrooms going spare Quady but I’d still ever give refuge to an immigrant. They have no business being here, our culture and morals are completely different to theirs
Somehow we are expected to adapt to them as they are unwilling to integrate into our ways
Also my home is a Christian home; Muslims wouldn’t want to share a space with me
You raise a good point Covgaz, we should only have conversations like this from 16.30 Friday night till 7.00 am Monday morning when RNS's can appear.
C'mon Monte , it's Sunday , markets are closed.
My house isn't as big as yours slug.
No I haven't taken in any immigrants, but have taken in homeless people in the past and have a lodger who lodges with me at the moment, otherwise he would be homeless.
Most crime is drug related in this country, accounts for over 50 % of all crimes.
Look it up use any stats.
Pbow net migration was 745,000 in 2023, you even said that on your original post, not 2022.
Plus figure for students was 606,000.
We are talking about less than 50,000 a year on boat crossings. The bit everyone is cross about.
Possibly the one who is smart enough and big enough to stop responding to the nonsense off topic and return the board back to what it should be.
That would mean being the bigger man, controlling your ego and considering others.
They are so busy trying to show how smart they are ,yet they don't even know the basics.
1984 Investor thats like the worst point you can make. Qatars population is 2.688 million of which about 300k are Qatari.
Well for a start they aren't correct because its the wrong year.
In the year you are talking about when 750,000 came that was 2022 and was net. If you are going to use net figures then you have to use it for students which you arent. It may have been 600k (I cant remember but I think that is overstated) but that is out of almost 1.2 million not 750,000.
You are talking about fake news yet you are distorting figures as above.
Again 129,000 graduate visas were issued in 2023 - they are visas that only students in the UK can apply for. On top of that there are work visas (including in care roles). So where you have conjured up 2000 from is anyone's guess.
We dont get many foreign doctors, scientists and engineers from people who study at UK universities. Yes we import ready qualified ones in their droves. But they dont compensate for the rest that come and are destroying the nation.
Japan has low immigration.
Migration is all about evolution. There has been migration since humans moved out of Africa. The main difference now is the political indoctrination of peoples in different countries, depending on if the country is governed by democratic, autocratic or dictatorship.
Given enough time there might be a hibrid system that will develop, as we don’t have a perfect system at the moment.
Compounding the issue we have with immigration and our inept leaders, is the drop in productivity of our workforce.
I was discussing this subject with another parent today, while watching the mighty youngsters @ Bowden Rugby Club this morning.
The gentlemen in question is a surgeon working for the NHS. Once the clock strikes 5 the trainee surgeons in theatre simply leave mid-operation as its clocking off time!
On many occasions the operating team are left standing as there’s no patient. Why – because the porter is having a break & nobody else is allowed to bring the patient in!!
He suggests that 10 years ago he was carrying out circa 5 operations a day – now 1 and maybe 2 at best.
I have a parallel issue in the industry I work in. Only on Friday I told an employee to ‘get a shift on’ – he just looked at me as if I was from another planet. I did of course want to smash his head against the nearest rock, but I showed my usual self-restraint 😉.
Let’s just hold tight and await the sale of Solgold. Once we have cashed out, I suggest we all sail off to Craggy Island where we can live in complete peace & harmony, away from this nation as it is completely Fcuked.
“Show me a country with low immigration and I will show you a poor country”
Qatar. 0.8 migrants per 1000 population and fifth per head of capita gdp at $114,648
It's not immigration folks, it's drugs! Quady, you must be a wind up merchant. Cannabis has gone from class C to class B, by the way.
A fair system that gives everyone what they want would be if those people who want to allow immigrants into our country offer them a place in their home and pay for them
You taking any in Quady? Or do you just want to spend our £s and ruin our lifestyles?
