    Want really pushes Reforms power is believing that immigrants in some way make it harder for you to find a job. Of course they don’t, that’s bullshit. Companies like Tesco’s are not allowed to hire people who aren’t documented, and the thing is, they don’t. Literally no one ever has lost their job because a company hired an immigrant at bargain in basement wages, it doesn’t happen.

    You just believe it happens because you believe Nigel.

    If you were going to berate people you really should look up what you’re talking about.

    Also

    when you are looking at not far off a London a decade, immigration is simply not sustainable.

    What on Earth does that mean?

      One of Reform’s most committed voting bloc is pensioners, who aren’t competing with anyone for jobs. Instead they’re down the pub, nursing their half-pints and having a whinge about the travellers, the South Asians who are smarter and work harder than them, the West Indians, and everyone else but themselves. They’re my age (I’m nearly 70), and I can’t stand the miserable bastards.

        There is absolutely no doubt that immigration has battered poor, former working class people in the UK. From perfectly decent people of Eastern European origin taking the role of scab labour, undermining pay and conditions, leading to the misery of zero hours contracts, to difficulty getting any unskilled work, to the ‘benefits’ system and healthcare being absolutely hammered.

        Yeah bollocks. Immigration has nothing to do with lack of low skilled jobs.

        Exported labour is the huge cost. The UK simply not making thing in the UK. Immigration is nothing but distraction.

        The whole argument that less available staff increases wages collapse when other nations have lower cost labour.

        All reducing staff dose is make the UK as a whole less competitive cost wise. And move even more low skilled jobs to other cheaper nations.

        The immigration debate is nothing but a wealthy business owners tactic to stop voters recognising the real problem.

        You are currently incapable of dealing, or unwilling to deal with reality.

        An ironic statement from somebody who is so goddamn stupid but they believe right-wing talking points and then claim I don’t like right-wing retric, despite clearly slurping it up.
