The set of poorer than average people is overwhelmingly indigenous British many of whom will be in part time work or unemployed, with others in low paid job.
Immigrants don't come to the UK to do part time work, and can't claim unemployment benefit. Some will be in low paid jobs and others will be highly qualified people like many I've worked with, in IT or financial services etc. and won't fall into the set of poorer the average people.
So what you're saying isn't true. What's more, studies have shown that immigrants commit less crime than the indigenous population, not more.
Do any of the studies break it down to specific nationalisites or just look at immigrants as a whole? I reckon there would be a big differences between some nationalities in terms of crime.
Explain how me asking for evidence is getting my arse handed to me on a plate?
Also, answer Husker's question.
You seem to be stuck in a cycle of making false and derogatory claims about immigrants, having these refuted with study evidence, then waiting a few months and repeating the same sorry saga. Academic, my arse.
Unlike you, Husker is more than capable of doing his own research.
KS announces he lied about being a socialist or left wing. He thinks the tories are correct. I paraphrase slightly
Quote:
He calls on those on the traditional left to accept that, once in power, economic growth, investment and wealth creation will be the “only show in town” if Labour is to build a prosperous country with strong public services for the long term.
“Frankly, the left has to start caring a lot more about growth, about creating wealth, attracting inward investment and kickstarting a spirit of enterprise,” he says.
I was kind of shocked about how non-socialist he is selling himself. I kind of hope it's a mis-sell, like Thatcher did in the late 70s, and he's at least a bit more radical than he's selling himself.
But it's not likely.
Again, environment go go burn.
It really is coming down to getting in the voting booth an picking the lesser of two 'who cares'.
Green seems the only one that makes sense, but it is a wasted vote. But at least you can do it without feeling like a mug/you're voting for the wrong people
We need a campaign for positive voting. Where our votes have to be earned by offering something we broadly want from someone we largely trust. Doesn't have to be remotely perfect but it does have to be a lot more than 'well this shite aint as bad as the other lot'
Politcs would change so fast if a significant minorty of us did that.,
I saw someone raise an interesting point on Starmer about an obsession with tactics resulting in him tying himself in knots and a lack mission. It looks like a fair point at this stage.
No there was a few articles I seen where nobody in Asian thought it was a big deal but our government has been bragging about it foolishly
Sounds like the same sort of drivel we get from our tabloids
Japan (and Canada) worked so hard to make this happen despite the idiocy of johnson and truss because of the politics not the short term trade. The usa possibility furtehr down the line is not to be sneezed at either. Even if they dont join, usa is not going to be ignoring such a large (mostly) local block
