      If you are one of the lucky people who haven’t had their lives decimated by more austerity, more benefits cuts, interspersed by bouts of meaningless ‘essential’ work (such as stacking shelves) on a zero hours contract, good for you. You can have the luxury of taking that attitude, and feel good about yourself while you do so.

      But, genuinely with the best will of the world, when you are looking at not far off a London a decade, immigration is simply not sustainable. Ignoring this reality pushes Reform towards power.

        You should watch Gary Stevenson on YouTube. The problem is wealth going to the rich. Immigration is the ruse.

        Want really pushes Reforms power is believing that immigrants in some way make it harder for you to find a job. Of course they don’t, that’s bullshit. Companies like Tesco’s are not allowed to hire people who aren’t documented, and the thing is, they don’t. Literally no one ever has lost their job because a company hired an immigrant at bargain in basement wages, it doesn’t happen.

        You just believe it happens because you believe Nigel.

        If you were going to berate people you really should look up what you’re talking about.

        Also

        when you are looking at not far off a London a decade, immigration is simply not sustainable.

        What on Earth does that mean?

        Anyway the point is he didn’t come in on a small boat, and it’s the small boats that are apparently the problem. So this kid is fine.
