Not sure of 'most' people but the reality is that a growing population is essential.

For me the problem the left face is how they present the 'huge benefit'. Now in terms of freedom of movement for EU nationals I am all in favour of it with one or two tweaks. But it is primarily beneficial because, over-all and with the proviso that it is official figures backing this up so I cannot vouch for how true they are, EU migrants to the UK end up generating more tax revenue they they consume. The UK plc make money from them.

And if the native UK populace want to continue having a free at the point of use health care system that will keep them alive for much longer than perhaps they want to, along with enjoying feckless lifestyles with lots of holidays abroad to all inclusive luxury prison camps and buying new cars and phones every two years rather than getting married, making sacrifices and having enough kids to sustain the population then we need these EU migrants to keep on flocking to these shores. Far better them than any others.

But mass migration will always bring problems along with changing how our society looks and feels. No point in trying to paint in all in a soft focus. Nobody likes change but EU migrants are the least worst option.

All I ask for is honesty. EU migrants do not come here because of our weather or our food or our culture. They come here because eventually that want to turn into the bleating, whining, moaning, general pain in the arse that most British people are.

Lets not pretend that anybody wants to upsticks and move to a different country for anything other than selfish reasons. And nobody likes seeing their local high street become filled with shops full of foreign sounding people.

But that is the modern world. You want the benefits, pay the price.

No surprise there, all major disasters are preceded by parliaments majority in favour of them.

Parliament's relationship with the real world is entirely coincidental.

As you stated earlier that there is no proof that people blamed foreigners.
With your answer you may well get the evidence to answer your own question.

personal again, desist !

Pointing out someone's inconsistency and expediency is being 'personal' now? I think your interpretation of the rules is a little 'snowflake'.

And I never thought I'd see Steely go snowflake on me.
