I'd ignore the simplistic idea that immigration is a one-for-one cause of unemployment. The job market is not a fixed-size cake, to be cut into slices of a given size, where more consumers of the cake would mean smaller slices or some going without. An immigrant does not just take a job, he increases the size of the economy, which means more wealth which means more jobs.Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

Earlier on in this thread, before it veered off in to the usual unpleasantness with name calling and other childishness, the word "Tokkie" was brought up.
Feeling somewhat adventurorus, I decided to investigate.
I can only deduce that Tokkie is probably Dutch for "Pirate Queen", and in the picture above, the Matriarch of the Pirate family is lecturing her crew, in this case, a young scally sailoress, on how to plunder more lucre on the high seas of benefit entitlement, by probably getting herself "laiden with child".Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've posted many posts containing numerical calculations, any of which were open to be critiqued by you or anyone else. But you stick to your bultuliping posts where your expertise lays.
While you bring the issue up. Not once in the time I have been on here have I seen you attempt to answer any quantitative problem posed here, and yet you claim to be doing a Masters in Mathematics or some such. How academic standards have slipped.
And for your information I come on here to be entertained not to educate you or help you understand why your simple-minded "quantitiative" arguments are wrong.
In spite of my full time job, I am indeed doing a MSc in Finanacial Maths, mostly for fun.
As you have rather more time than I have, may I suggest you do something as constructive? It will be a problem with your intellect, but with tenacity and persistence you may achieve a good A-level standard.
HTHHard Brexit now!

Some people find immigrants are a convenient scape-goat to blame for their own failings, however.Hard Brexit now!
