    No, I wasn't. God what tired lefty response though, simply ignore the content of the post, the data, the statistics, and the reasoning, try to completely derail the conversation away from the topic.

    The video I used to highlight how the government seems to not hold important statistics related to migration that it really should. It has been in the news about illegal migrants have absconded and yet strangely they hold no statistics about how many of them.

    Don't care about some guy in the video being a tax dodger or something, like that has any relevance whatsoever to the topic. Nice little rant about the anglo-saxons though, no idea what it was supposed to mean, considering the anglo-saxons were the result of everyone integrating together.


    Anyway... ignoring this random nonsensical segue...

    The point of concern was that the government removing the cap seems to me to disproportionately benefit people that are from other countries who statistically drain the economy. You may have noticed that people don't like others being put above them very much, as it has absolutely dominated the news and is the reason that Reform are absolutely blazing it.

    Some people just love to shout racist to anyone flagging up these issues though, fills them with a sense of warmth and belonging, like they're doing some good in the world when really throwing their toys out of the pram everytime someone highlights an issue with migration simply drives more people to vote Reform.

    The government is trashing the country by making people lose their sense of cultural identity and that it makes a point of showing how it treats others above them even when it is clearly detrimental. Maybe if you just call them racist seventeen or eighteen more times they'll finally start being happy and productive again?

        Defense, mating rituals, manipulating prey and food and they're used to fold earwig's wings back in place. No, I didn't know they have wings either.

              Try this.

              Two-child benefit cap debate incomplete without race and ethnicity data

              It is therefore likely that the lack of government support for more than two children, will particularly suppress the already disadvantaged in society from having more than two children. Since the data shows these groups are more likely to be Black, Asian, and Ethnic groups, it is clear the two-child benefit cap will specifically impact fertility rates in ethnic and racial groups, leading them to have fewer children.

              IMHO the whole point was to stop poor people bringing more kids into poverty. The paltry amount doesn't lift anyone out of poverty, but it will help Pakistan and other countries mentioned.
