Election Year or Fear!

There you go again, cherry picking one part of the argument.
Last year, 750 000 net migration?
Are you going to ignore that and keep blaming your Dr woes solely on Tory rule? NHS/HOUSING/TRANSPORT/ SERVICES are under massive pressure of migration, purely by the volume of traffic flooding in.
You might not accept that as an issue but many of us do. Your woes are far reaching and the Tories are comlicit, by not plugging the avenues started by Blair. WE NEED 616 000 new homes a year, just to cope with immigration flood alone.

So yearh, my obsession as you call it, is based on raw facts. Not your mamby pamby wails of the right are shouting again.

IMMIGRATION IS NEEDED.
BUT IT NEEDS TO BE MANAGED AS WELL.

Brits preferred places to migrate to, like Canada/New Zealand/ Australia have strict rules and amounts set each year.
Many hoops to jump through, based on that countries needs. Age/ health/ skills/ assets.
They don't allow any clown to come and drag their families along for the ride either.

Which is exactly what you do. But you blew your xenophobic, racist tendencies a long time ago and more recently with your wild claims re child ***ual abuse, foreign criminals, terrorists and the like. so its a bit rich trying to portray the reasonable man's view of controlling immigration and in any case you have got what you wanted a pts based immigration system, the fact that levels of immigration are still higher than you want is based on your prejudice and false beliefs.

14 years of austerity, cuts to services, just one example, over the last decade, there has been a net loss of 130,000 council/social homes, because of the failure to build more and the continual sell off of homes. Dental services have crashed due to underfunding, Dentists do minimal work for the NHS because the level of payments from the NHS isn't worth it. The overall health service, the education service and all local authorities have had cuts in real terms that have resulted in services being decimated.

Given that the vast majority of immigrants work and pay taxes, the UK would be in an even worse state without them.

This is all a direct result of policies that have seen most peoples real incomes static for a decade. All the time the Tories and other Right Wing parties have fed you and the credulous millions this fake news that immigration has created the situation we have today.

Its not true, but by the time you dumb ****ers wake up, it will be too late.

Its governments job to have policies and implement them that ensures infrastructure and services get the funding that keep s pace with the population. After all that's what happened in the 1950's and 1960's when the population growth occurred, though of course t was mainly births to current residents that fuelled that so nobody batted an eye.

As Hitler did by demonising the Jews, so the Tories and UKIP, Reform etc. are doing by demonising immigrants and you trotting out the same old tropes means that any "reasonable" issues with the management of immigration are not properly discussed.
