Save forcing the sick and feckless to do jobs that an employer wouldnt want them anywhere near.

The anti immigration arguments are valid, genuine concerns, pointing to genuine problems in a complex situation. What I find is that too many are not willing or able to deal with the complexities and implications of aspiring to net zero.
This is an honest question, do we need 1.3 million people coming into the country in the last few years. Plus what are the age groups of these people? If we have an ageing population should we not have an age limit for who we let in . Also instead of stealing doctors, nurses from developing countries we should be training our own, I realise it’s not that simple because of cost . Same within the building trade, it’s good money so train our own people from within this country.
