Reply to: UK told to prepare for workforce of 80-year-olds

This post kind of sums up Brexit. Arrogant. Delusional. And factually incorrect.

Immigration allows Britons to continue to not have to pay for things. We could have a society without immigration, and without working everybody until they drop, but we won't get there through blaming others for our problems or through our sense of entitlement from our perceived great past.

Cmon I put it up there someone surely...

But that's what most of the crap I post...

FTFY

Oh, I didn't say that because I didn't want to hurt his feelings but you just have done it.

Bastards! I want to retire, not work until I drop!

ZeitGrandFather1 did that.

ZeitGrandFather2 popped his clogs a year before he got to pension age.

So have you been stockpiling from work the isotopes that sustain you?

You are really advocating importing people to do the jobs for other people.

The 1800's are calling they want their slave trade back 👀

See if you can spot the error in logic you have made there.

Like im gonna live to 80....

But should we not look at a way to create a society which removes the need?

And by just letting immigrants to do the work you never create a need so no one ever solves the problem.

Yes, you can create a society which removes the need for more immigrants if you create the conditions to increase the birth rate.

Remembering the past without finding the solutions for the future it's not a good idea.

This is a kind of a populist answer.

if you don't want to be working at the age of 80 or see your taxes increasing, you need to have more active people working that also includes creating more jobs.

You prefer to have a British citizen working at the age of 80 instead of an immigrant in their 30. Oh, and you should know that the slaves don't pay taxes.

And, as I said earlier on the student fees thread, get people into work sooner.

Your wish is the government's command: https://www.theguardian.com/educatio...bite?CMP=fb_gu

This could be improved with more immigrants. Oh, wait...
