How is the UK not swamped? I thought that local government, healthcare, social care, housing, transport, education were all on their knees? Why on earth all the fuss over resources if there are ample available?It's a very sensible point. It shows why the UK is neither "swamped", nor very welcoming.
If the system is however broken then how will an additional hundreds of thousands of people help this system or the people that you know are already here and need to use it too?
But then again, you only have to ask the people of Altrincham who are sat on 2yr NHS waiting lists whilst migrants in their town are being given phones and immediate access to private doctors so maybe it won't affect it after all?
