Economically what is the point of curing someone, or keeping them alive, if all they are going to do is retire and become a burden on society?
Fortunately…and I know I’m sounding like one of those ‘soft left humanists’…not everything is driven entirely by economics.
Rubbish. We have an obligation to our own, as does every other country in the world.
Exactly where is the sense in flooding more and more people in for negative benefit, which ultimately makes everyone poorer?
This is a downward spiral, because as a country , we have failed to invest in our people with education and training.
It was made easier for industry to import labour and now we are paying the price.
The fact remains, not everyone that comes into the UK contributes for the better of the nation
Import so much cheap labour, they arrive with dependents and give next to nothing back, campared to what they take out.
It isn't tocket science
