    Its too bloody cold for immigrants and there are no jobs.
    No jobs because locals ain't lazy to take them?

    Population growth sharpest in 70 years after 'record' migration levels

    The UK population has seen its sharpest increase in 70 years, driven by record levels of migration, official figures show.

    Britain has experienced a population increase of five million people in just over a decade, between 2005 and 2016.

    The previous five million took 35 years to achieve, between 1970 and 2005.
    Population growth is essential to growth of economy - inbreeding leads to Brexiters

    HTH

    Yet another friend has closed his UK business (with a loss of 40 jobs) and started trading from Austria.
    His main reason was that he want's to keep EU citizenship.
    It sounds small but in reality big buisiness cuts jobs, it's SMEs that generated jobs, this will end very badly for UK.

    On a plus side UK will rejoin EU and accept Euro currency, Euro Army, Metric system, left hand driving and stop calling La Manche the English channel - all thanks to Brexiters

    Skilled services. The same sort of business migration took place e in the early 70s when the UK economy was in decline

    Stop the welfare payments and there will be riots, due to these lazy Brits losing their "entitlement" to free Monday. It's not like they will think 'oh look, we have no free money now, let's go and get a job instead and contribute to society'.
    Not in the short term maybe but we need to wind back the whole idea of welfare to ensure the nation's future. If we don't, those wonderful hard working migrants are eventually going to end up with the same lazy mindset.

    Corbyn's idiot idea of free tuition fees certainly won't help, there will be even fewer available for low skilled jobs and even more people who have delayed contributing to the tax system.
