    Much more fun to turn them up to the max and leave them there until the batteries ran out. That should help the police with their inquiries...

    Every year over 200,000 workers retire and are not replaced by the local population if you stopped immigration you'd have a massive problem.

    This very fact means however much people will bawl about immigration, it will continue at current levels, because Britain can't afford a declining working population whilst the retired population expands. Simple arithmetic, the self-entitlement of ageing leave voters demanding services and their pensions, and the laws of finance will scupper any plans to reduce immigration.

    The number of births is actually lower than in the 1960's in spite of migrants "breeding like rabbits".

    Yes cutting the budget in half would effectively mean he'd abolish it.
    Another simplistic solution from the mind of a Brexiter.
    I dunno why I bother really.
    It's clear the country is fooked since the only people leaving post Brexit will likely be the highly skilled and educated (indigenous AND foreign), leaving behind the cretinati (indigenous AND foreign) to wreck the country further.

    Depends how much you cut and it would only work for specific taxes, say cutting fuel duty by half won't double the take.

    The budget in UK is increasingly dependent on "high earners", jobs for whom will start disappearing before and especially after Tory No Deal Brexit.

    "older and more poorly educated"

    and then you wonder why people who don't feel they have a lot to lose stick their fingers up at a system that demeans and condescends them at any given opportunity
    Actually what I wonder is what happened to education standards so that people can't seem to parse and analyse data
    Long may it continue though, it's why people who can earn the big bucks, no doubt.

    Cutting NHS spending in half is Brexit pie-in-the sky bollux.

    IF you are going to have a reduction in government revenue then you cut expenditure

    but if you actually cut taxes government revenue actually increases, as the cost of avoidance isn't as worth it and it encourages more enterprise

    obviously you can't turn the tap off overnight hence I said a couple of decades, then once you've serviced those who have no other means of healthcare or a pension etc, you tell the next generation "from Year X you guys are on you're own" what then happens is a market is created and competition introduced whereby private companies can offer healthcare or pension provisions

    a government can then reduce the scope and cost of NHS services to helping only the very needy or to save your life

    and the "I don't think that's what Brexiteers voted for" is a strawman argument I know I didn't vote to give the NHS another £350m a week neither did I vote to kick out all the foreigners, there's a much bigger picture at play and a whole myriad of reasons 17m people voted to leave the EU
