Britain is booming!

seems appropriate that you choose an actor playing a mental incompetent who managed to screw up his drugs to clap what you believe to be a pithy and intelligent comment.

That's his room mate at the Thistle.

Alas, highly skilled EU citizens head for the exit taunted by the indigenousness racist chants whilst masses from the developing world flock inward.

Are most "highly-skilled workers, including more doctors and nurses"? I rather doubt it.

Why would you want more people competing for the higher paid jobs?

In a truly booming economy, where the economic boom means that everyone is becoming better off, you want to import the labour for the cheap jobs while the locals get the cream of the crop, don’t you?

According to the Guardian, I'm sure they are all neuro surgeons, specialist nurses, Nobel physicists and billionaire philanthropists...

May hails surge in non-EU migration to 15-year high as evidence of strong economy - despite pledge to drastically reduce it | The Independent

A big leap in immigration from outside the EU is evidence of the strength of the UK economy, Theresa May says.

The prime minister appeared relaxed about the increase – to its highest level for 15 years – while insisting she remained committed to slashing numbers to “the tens of thousands”.

The latest figures show 283,000 more people moved to the UK than left the country in the year to last September – almost three times the government target of 100,000.

The rise was fuelled by 261,000 non-EU arrivals, the highest figure since 2004, outweighing a fall in EU net migration to the lowest level since 2009.

Despite Brexit, 283,000 more people arrived than left.

Good news for house prices, BTL owners and people looking for cheap car washes. Not so good news for those sharing the roads, schools, hospitals etc.

Still, means employers can keep wages down, win win.
