In a way it's a shame that all the energy, effort, focus and money that's gone into Brexit hadn't been targeted at something that might actually solve some of the problems. Not that I'd claim to know what that is.

    The point I was making is that workers have to earn £40k to be financial contributors, importing millions of cheap workers is effectively going to dilute that to the point the minority subsidising the rest no longer can.
    Now we need care assistants & traffic wardens but if we have too many on low wages services will not be funded.

    House building and social care? People will still complain but least they will have somewhere to live and old/ill people will be taken care off.

    Oh and I'm currently watching part 2 of Muslims Like Us.

    My Polish and Serbian neighbours are lovely just like my brother's Hungarian ones.
