    Defense, mating rituals, manipulating prey and food and they're used to fold earwig's wings back in place. No, I didn't know they have wings either.

    The video I used to highlight how the government seems to not hold important statistics related to migration that it really should. It has been in the news about illegal migrants have absconded and yet strangely they hold no statistics about how many of them.

    Don't care about some guy in the video being a tax dodger or something, like that has any relevance whatsoever to the topic. Nice little rant about the anglo-saxons though, no idea what it was supposed to mean, considering the anglo-saxons were the result of everyone integrating together.


    Anyway... ignoring this random nonsensical segue...

    The point of concern was that the government removing the cap seems to me to disproportionately benefit people that are from other countries who statistically drain the economy. You may have noticed that people don't like others being put above them very much, as it has absolutely dominated the news and is the reason that Reform are absolutely blazing it.

    Some people just love to shout racist to anyone flagging up these issues though, fills them with a sense of warmth and belonging, like they're doing some good in the world when really throwing their toys out of the pram everytime someone highlights an issue with migration simply drives more people to vote Reform.

    The government is trashing the country by making people lose their sense of cultural identity and that it makes a point of showing how it treats others above them even when it is clearly detrimental. Maybe if you just call them racist seventeen or eighteen more times they'll finally start being happy and productive again?

    Tricky innit considering there seems to be a concerted effort to avoid collecting any data that might foster negative views, there's quite a few vids like this that highlight this issue on a variety of topics, this is just the latest one I saw.

    I guess the most indisputable data would be simple births minus deaths, by demographic. The fertility rate of native British people is around 1.4, whereas Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Somalia is between 3 and 4.

    However according to the Children's Commissionner, "The share of families with three or more children varies from 14% in White British families to 41% in Pakistani families and 38% in Bangladeshi families."

    How many migrants are coming to the UK? Is 30% of our country migrants? Because 1 in 3 births is to a foreign born mother according to the ons

    This is why I think it's going to disproportionately benefit migrants particularly from Pakistan, Somalia, and Bangladesh who are likely to have very large families, and those who have settled here prior to the recent tightning of the rules.

    Migrants as a whole, and migrants within the EEA provide net benefit to the UK due to so many being skilled. Migrants outside of the EEA are a net drain.

    What if we started delving into whether or not these people having these larges families are productive or not? I'd like to know if that data exists.

    Thanks, honestly I can't believe I fell for the ol' declining birth rate trick, where they count the number of births and deaths and do a complicated sum called 'subtraction'.

    Everyone knows officially published government statistics that spell outright what's going on in the country are literally Nigel Farage Reform Islamophobia Propaganda Hitler Fake News nonsense.

    Anyway I'll go enjoy a nice getaway from it all, I hear there's loads of empty unused hotels knocking around that aren't being used for anything in particular.
