Can it? Does the £2bn a year net benefit of migration cover the 336,000 who came here last year? cigarette packet calculations says that's £6000 per migrant, so not a lot to cover all those needs. (obviously this is miles out on a per migrant basis, but I expect the true figure is much lower i.e. total benefit divided by total migration)

Tell that to the girls who were sexually assaulted and robbed in Cologne. Ok, that's a Daily Mail hot-take, but you can't say these things are unequivocal. Otherwise, no one would ever complain about migrants, ever, and that's clearly not the case.

Those figures were net of the rebate. I know there are other, less tangible benefits but workout out if we get VFM is a value judgement, and where you fall really will point to where you will vote.
