Don't worry, the apprenticeship levy will sort out the skills shortage, just like the road tax ensures all those potholes are fixed.

The alt-right will continue to blame foreigners for everything. Mark my words, in a few years you'l have them posting pictures from Crimewatch saying that some of the people in the photos don't have white middle class names, so that's proof that they don't belong in the UK.

I have worked with some good people from overseas. Mostly the quality is much poorer than the UK.
One major asset the UK has is people don't just blindly do as they are told like some countries.
Some young people are put off by high student debts and high cost of housing. There is a growing feeling that social mobility is dead.
The UK is now over crowded. There should be no immigrants until the population is less than 56 million. And after that it should match emigration.
