LeftyFax,
It was this article I got it from, it's rather misleading. It's talking about private education, but says state system https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/10169865/Costs-for-state-school-hits-22500-per-child.html
I see the figures you're talking about from the IFS... £4,900 a year for Primary school and £6,300 for secondary school. But still a minimum wage worker would be paying less tax than the cost of sending their child to school. That's obviously how society works, the richer pay more to help the poorer and I'm fine with that as long as it's not crazy Marxism like Corbyn will undoubtedly introduce.
Where I have a problem is when we're doing this for people who are not British citizens. And as for SNIGE who only reads the parts he can use to twist. I'll say again, we should be forcing employers to pay unskilled workers far more. If prices need to go up then so be it, but by drastically reducing immigration and rapidly increasing house building, the cost of buying or renting a home would be less (single biggest outlay) so any increase in food costs etc would be more than offset in lower house prices.
The sheer demand for housing from immigrants is the number one problem when it comes to immigration in terms of economics. You only have to go on Zoopla.co.uk and study how quickly house prices increased after 1997 when compared to pre 1997 on pretty much any given street in a high immigrant area... house prices have seriously hammered the standard of living in the UK.
By the time most people pay their mortgage or rent, and other bills + food shopping, more people either have nothing left or very little, and increasing numbers are turning to debt.
282,000 in a single year is absolute insanity. If you honestly support 282,000 people coming to this country a year JayFax you're off your rocker.
