      There is absolutely no doubt that immigration has battered poor, former working class people in the UK. From perfectly decent people of Eastern European origin taking the role of scab labour, undermining pay and conditions, leading to the misery of zero hours contracts, to difficulty getting any unskilled work, to the ‘benefits’ system and healthcare being absolutely hammered.

      Yeah bollocks. Immigration has nothing to do with lack of low skilled jobs.

      Exported labour is the huge cost. The UK simply not making thing in the UK. Immigration is nothing but distraction.

      The whole argument that less available staff increases wages collapse when other nations have lower cost labour.

      All reducing staff dose is make the UK as a whole less competitive cost wise. And move even more low skilled jobs to other cheaper nations.

      The immigration debate is nothing but a wealthy business owners tactic to stop voters recognising the real problem.

      You are currently incapable of dealing, or unwilling to deal with reality.

      An ironic statement from somebody who is so goddamn stupid but they believe right-wing talking points and then claim I don’t like right-wing retric, despite clearly slurping it up.
