We're told all the time about the economic benefits of mass immigration etc.
Well, how about a situation in which there's no MASS immigration & we were all a little worse off materialistically?
Overcrowding, concreting over of the countryside, gridlocks on our roads, divisions in our society - all would be lessened.
Personally, I'd like to stick 2 fingers up to the global economy - it's based on greed, concentrates wealth and power into the hands of the few, turns the rest of us into serfs and trashes many of the things that some of us value.

An added pressure is on pay levels, basic supply and demand, lots of low skilled workers reduces demand and pay for low skilled UK workers.Leave a comment:
