    That will upset Suella

    https://www.zurich.com/en/media/maga...al%20disasters.

    According to UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency, an annual average of 21.5 million people have been forcibly displaced by weather-related events – such as floods, storms, wildfires and extreme temperatures – since 2008. These numbers are expected to surge in coming decades with forecasts from international thinktank the IEP predicting that 1.2 billion people could be displaced globally by 2050 due to climate change and natural disasters.
    possibly missing something

    For instance, when two category 4 hurricanes hit Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador in November 2020, people poured across the border into Mexico and headed towards the U.S. as torrential rains and landslides meant they lost their homes, livelihoods and access to clean water.
    But don't they have cat 4 hurricanes in Mexico & the USA?

    In the UK we don't have enough young working age people, so we re going to have to import some.

      There are plenty of workshy lazy bastards claiming benefits in the UK - they lack ambition and drive! Why work for something when you can either steal it, defraud someone of it or just claim benefits?

        Or in the UK we are likely to be hit heavily by automation in low paid jobs just as many went abroad in the 90s/00s we need to plan for having no jobs once shops , delivery & warehouses are automated!

        Any job under the higher rate tax is likely to pay very little into the tax pot for your old age, if we import we just make more people consuming services.

                While I agree with the sentiment of your first line, and I appreciate your support in the second line, like all third world countries run by megalomaniac dictators, I have a suspicion that it would be a very short life.
