    If all the Scots, Northerners, Welsh etc. who moved to the more prosperous South East went "home" then there'd be plenty of houses, hospitals, schools etc. for many more immigrants.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Hence I said "overall".

          We end up with zones of different mono-cultures. Not very vibrant either in a lot of cases.
          I don't know that we really do, as the norm anyway. We get pockets of this but we also get a lot of mixing. Look at pubs, work-places, churches, etc and you'll see people mixing it up.

          Other nations manage to do the "melting pot" thing very well indeed so it's clearly possible. Maybe Brits aren't very welcoming.

            Ever the would-be conciliator, parroting the officially approved line. Does it make you feel important?

              So anyone that holds a different view to yours is toeing the party line?
              Anyone whose views happen to align with the "party line" is brainwashed?

              I think you're the blinkered one if that's really what you think. I'm not even sure what the "party line" is I already said I prefer traditionalism. Saying that multiculturalism can work isn't the same as wanting it to happen.

                You don't half go on about caring about other people.
                Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

                  Not really. I'm pretty uncaring, I think. It's only in comparison to the people of CUK that I look caring.

                    It seems though that:

                    - most of those immigrants are from the 'old' EU countries such as Spain and not the 'new' ones from Eastern Europe
                    - Possibly a good thing, for example Spain is one of the top countries where immigrants are coming from and most are young whereas the it is also the top emigration where most of the people are old thereby swapping a bunch of old people requiring care for young people who can work
                    - 30% of those people counted were coming to Britain to study and 46% were to work
                    - refugees and asylum seekers still represent only 5% of non-British immigration
                    - these reports are good for the UK because it raises the blood pressure of righties causing them to expire thus taking some of the burden from the NHS

                    The figures in a handy easy to read chart for you:

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
