Falling Immigration a worse economy and what does Farage do next ?

[We've got Guardiola]

The country is in shitstreet, the number of people coming into the country wouldnt worry me if they were all a nett benefit to the economy, the reality is that many arent. We need to make residence in this country much harder and remaining dependant upon working status. If they are unable to support themselves and their families then out they go.

There is an easy solution to this, make it easier to have kids and invest in young people.

Farage et al plans to penalise people for having kids, if you have more than 2 kids then you will lose benefits (if you're on benefits). There is also talk of him cutting nursery funding which will wipe out many families. I haven't seen anything tangible that he will do to help the cost of living and this is more important than anything else.

I also haven't seen any talk of what he plans to do to help young people, many of whom will potentially leave the UK or just fall into benefits because of the cost of living, cost of housing and absence of meaningful well paid work.

So if nobody has kids and we are going to fail to train young people then who is going to do the work? And we wonder why immigration is high? What other choice is there?

Farage's only plan is to increase the work burden upon people alongside imposing a small state and low taxes. This is fine in practice until productivity and wellbeing collapses and that's what has happened thanks to 15 years of the Tories. The fact is you can't grow without people and simultaneously you can't be more productive if you degrade or destroy the systems that underpin productivity.

Farage isn't a populist revolutionary, he's a poundshop Tory.

Isn’t that happening already?

Doesnt seem to be, maybe its just me.

I do get frustrated with the arguement that immigration helps to fill the roles that British nationals dont want to do.

If they dont want to do these jobs then they shouldnt get benefits either. We need to encourage people to work rather than being a benefits state.

Have you tried looking at facts and statistics instead of looking at social media?

I agree, people shouldn’t be coming here to live off benefits, they should be contributing to society. And these things are already in place with legislation over the last few years. There’s been a dramatic fall in immigration due to visa restrictions.

Sponsored Study Visas are the the largest visa route with about 400,000 last year. These are not here to work and usually return home post-education. So when you look into the data, you can actually see where new legislation has taken effect, bringing down the numbers immensely.
