    You spelled "Baseless conjecture tainted by an air of hysteria" wrong.

      Why can't we just cut out the middle man?
      So presumably you go direct with your contracts? 😴
      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.

        Obviously the migration statistics for the last few years are all extreme right wing Tory lies. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all made up by Rupert Murdoch. But just suppose those stats could be right.

        https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-migration-and-uk/

        Recent figures suggest just over half—around 1.6 million—of the EU nationals living here arrived between 2006 and 2014.
        If its 1.6 million over 8 years then its quite realistic to imagine that another 3 million will arrive over the next 16 years.

        Never mind Turkey. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia will almost certainly be EU members by then so that's another wave of migrants on top of the existing flow.

        5 million seems all too likely

            British old farts should have more right to vote than people who are not even British:

            Estimates based on the 2011 census put the number of Commonwealth citizens eligible to vote in the forthcoming referendum at between 894,000 and more than 960,000. They join Irish citizens as the only non-Brits allowed to vote in what David Cameron has called a "once in a generation" decision.
