EU migration is uncontrolled - if an EU national wants to come into the UK, they can. Those Brits in Spain are spending a relative fortune earned in the UK in Spain instead. They are a huge plus to their economy and they'd be welcomed back with open arms if Spain, for some reason, decided they wanted to send them back.

Holland are in a very similar position to the UK in that an In/Out EU referendum would be very interesting indeed. Belgium is HQ and would presumably get a fair few kickbacks from that.

I think some EU migrants contribute to the economy. I see no rational argument against having an immigration policy that encourages migration of any foreign nationals who can speak English and are skilled in a manner that would contribute to the UK workforce (i.e. if we have enough fisherman then we don't bring in foreign fisherman, but if we need more accountants then we encourage accountancy degrees and bring foreign accountants in on short term VISAs). I see absolutely no argument for allowing all and sundry in when we're already rammed. Have you seen any new build housing estates? You're living in your neighbours back garden.

I know EU migration is uncontrolled, hence why I was clarifying what you were discussing. In terms of the Spain argument are you saying then the Spanish workers, living and working here, aren't contributing to our economy? And I'm sorry but I find it hypocritical some of your views. I mean mate have you ever been to Benidorm or somewhere like that? Trust me very few Brits living there speak English never mind Spanish! Meanwhile im pretty sure all the Spanish that work here speak the language!

I agree there should be some control of EU immigration, that's one con but still the pros far out way the negatives for me. I mean the majority, vast majority, who leave their friends, family, loved ones behind in their home country come here to work out of necessity and it's situation that vastly benefits our country. They come here because there's jobs! The people who make your coffee in the morning, the guys who serve your lunch and clean your house, they don't come here to sit on their arse. I just think immigrants get such a bad rap in the press it's disgusting. If there was large unemployment with British born people missing out on jobs due to EU migrants then I could understand it, but let's be honest it isn't! I accept your argument it's much more harder to plan public spending but if you think this government is going to grown public spending in-line with natural British population growth then you're kidding yourself - the NHS won't suddenly be saved because of EU immigration control!

Is that you Gordon?

Your party tried that 20 times over the last 100 years and it never worked. Still, you can't knock a tryer can you.
In which case you have to say many Tory economics failed as on many economic indicators such as unemployment they have been less successful than labour. I would love to know which countries show economic success with declining ageing populations and no immigration?

Also look around the world at shining economic success stories and with the exceptions of two monoliths in China and India with humongous natural population growth you'll find immigration is behind most of them.

What's immigration got to do with the price of bread? I haven't even mentioned it.

And to the last poster whoever you are - I can't be arsed looking it up - fuck off with your dry your fanny and other such shite. Am I am not even sure which way I am voting yet, but at least if I do vote leave, I will do so with my eyes open, fully cognisant of the challenges that lie ahead. Unlike the happy clappers on here who think we'll have a lovely trade agreement signed and sealed by tea-time with some nice biscuits and everyone living happily ever after. Frankly I think anyone who thinks it will be plain sailing is an idiot.

Wasn't meant to be a quote from you wasn't addressing an immigration point from you not have I seen one - apologies .

A lot of people think it's the problem behind everything but won't even discuss structural deficits, what is actually damaging the health service etc as they can't discuss true post situation as they are living in cloud cuckoo land, I can see in their fantasy world myself what I must have been like when I thought Pearce would turn it round
