Oh jeez, so now your claiming that EU immigration has contributed to the decline of places like Great Yarmouth? Really, are you as ignorant of economics as well as demographics?

As it happens I live in a place where there are significant numbers of EU immigrants, the vast majority of whom make a positive contribution to the area. What they aren't doing is depriving "native" UK people of opportunities, housing or acess to services, what is an issue is the 14 years of austerity and udner ininvestment by the previous Tory government.

I realise your grasp on demographics isn't that good, but in Great Yarmouth there is a high number of older people, of the circa 5% that are white but of a non UK origin (which includes those who who have been born here) contribute to the areas economy, as they do where I live, because they work in addition to setting up and owning businesses that provide employment and far from contributing to the towns decline they actually keep it alive and the services that these older prejudiced white folk rely on.

It is rather embrassing to have to explain the reality of life to you. But I guess thats the result of xenophobia, prejudice and narrow minded thinking.
