    Re "taking our jobs". Migrants create their own demand and their own economy, so the impact is certainly not as high some claim. However, that is hardly of any benefit to existing citizens, it does not increase the GDP per capita and adds to numerous pressures on schools, housing etc.

    In so far as it does impact those at the bottom of our society, it is not the white British this mainly affects but descendants of previous migrant waves:

    Rising unemployment for UK's ethnic minorities: who's affected? | News | theguardian.com

    Curious how some laud mass immigration as such a positive thing while it is happening yet, given a few decades, they are telling us how the failures of those same ethnic groups are all due to exclusion. Maybe it is in part but then, regardless of reasons, if something does not work logic suggests we should stop doing it.

    PS:
    The overall conclusion from existing evidence is that immigration has
    very small impacts on GDP per capita, whether these impacts are
    positive or negative. This conclusion is in line with findings of studies
    of the economic impacts of immigration in other countries including
    the US

      On the personal note, If you will be put middle contract under the management of 21 year old Indian 'consultant' and persistently labelled as a person who 'run queries for him' you will see that something is waaay out.
      Get over yourself you are nothing special - immigrants for years have to put up with this sh*t in the UK and worse in the UK.

      Luckily like the Polish who ended up here after the 2nd World War your children will have fully integrated mainly due to your religion and skin colour.

      Oh and some Indians from India have a problem with a lot of people from the West. If you have support from other people in the client organisation you can get them booted out for incompetence otherwise find yourself a new contract and leave.

        I am the one who is Ignorant? Your unwillingness to recognise any argument you disagree with is epic.
        Yes you are. My ignorance is not proved by stating your ignorance as that is clearly apparent. As for argument, what arguments have you provided In this thread? You clearly do not understand the difference between argument and posting baseless rants.

        Prove me wrong if you can. I have asked you twice to provide links to Farage "anchoring us in public consciousness as total losers" or indulging in "boundless polonophobia". It is just possible there is some racist speech I have missed, but so far I have seen nothing from you.
