That only makes sense if you are replacing the chavs with immigrants. You are not, you are adding the immigrants.

Low paid workers are a net drain on the system. It only makes sense to have immigrants come here that earn more than they take from the welfare state (e.g. doctors, lawyers, vets, dentists, some IT workers etc).

Someone picking carrots in a field does not add to the net growth of the UK.

Still, stick to your left wing ideals snaw. They will see you and your kids to a brighter future.

That's one viewpoint, and your perfectly entitled to it. Bit simplistic (I know, you can't help it), given variables such as your carrot picker doing a job the 'chav's' don't want, not too mention lowering the cost of the carrorts to us the consumer increasing our competitiveness and spending power.

If he's a net contributor to the economy then he helps the economy grow - all depends on how much he gets paid, notwithstanding the very simplistic view that every immigrant here is a carrot picker or equivalent. But reasoned debate has never been your strong point. At what point does someone start being a contributor to the economy - I'd be interested to see you back up your statement with some facts.

Might be time for a change, was taking the piss out of myself but think I might be reinforcing the stereotype a wee bit too much.

No need to back it up, just sit back and wait a few years until UK plc is bankrupt.

Didn't immigration all start because the indigenous population refused to pick carrots? Around here they practically begged for workers for a night shift in the mills - but nobody stepped forward. So they went abroad and found willing people. I suppose they didn't expect to be made scapgoats for other people's laziness.
