That makes no sense and only a short term fix as they'll all grow old too. A declining population would have a tough start for a generation but for the long term good imo otheriwse it will continue and there will never be enough resource or people to service an ever increasing problem. It's the people equivalent of quantitative easing.It would be a financial disaster for the economy, in terms of demographics you'd get the dreaded reverse pyramid, ie, way too many elderly not working, drawing a pension and swamping the NHS,
while at the same time having way to few people in work to pay the taxes to fund all the pensions, let alone maintaining the nations infrastructure.
Ask yourself this, if our birth rate is declining so rapidly (which it is) why are we building so many new houses? And who is going to be buying and occupying all these houses in 30 years time???
My guess is that the government are quietly encouraging all immigration, both legal and illegal, in order to sustain a future work force, and I suggest any noise they make about stopping the illegal migrants is nothing but lip service.
I actually think they are secretly accelerating the process before other European countries try to tempt them to come.
This all plays into the left wings recent university campaigns of recent years, to quietly poison the minds of our young against being British, and to blame Britain and colonialism for the worlds ills, and so to raise a generation of young tax payers who are open to see the culture of the country dramatically change in an incredibly short period of time.
Sometimes I’m sure being kind means you are manipulated and taken advantage ofHumane and Respectful or rinsed?
Careful we don’t pull apart again and I know we won’t change anything other than open ourselves up to others opinions but let’s try and stay on potential solutions
Careful we don’t pull apart again and I know we won’t change anything other than open ourselves up to others opinions but let’s try and stay on potential solutions
We do because we are a nation that means something that wants to lead the world in doing the right thing and being humane and respectful
We need a worldwide consensus or we need to play hardball and use our military but know that this doesn’t come without consequences
Probably bang on about pensions
Yeah who knows ehHow would you solve this?
Jews and gay people should hide identity in ‘Arab neighbourhoods’, says Berlin police chief

A short term fix is exactly what's needed for a (relatively) short term problem, which is how do the government financially cope, when the boomers all retire at the same time.That makes no sense and only a short term fix as they'll all grow old too. A declining population would have a tough start for a generation but for the long term good imo otheriwse it will continue and there will never be enough resource or people to service an ever increasing problem.

Our increase in church attendance and our diverse congregations are completely out of kilter from what’s happened in the Church of England nationally and locallyI know this is fag packet maths but if we are sending £500mill to France every year to stop this then surely it would more than cover the cost of adequate policing of the problematic sections of coast day and night.
The issue with the aging population is a chicken and egg one. People are not having children due to housing costs, schooling and adequate health services. Mass immigration is amplifying these issues and the cycle gets worse and worse.
We are already the most densely populated country in europe along with Belgium.
Pete, a genuine question here if you dont mind. Just for my own curiosity.
Have you had many immigrants converting tobthe Church and if so have many stuck with it or have they moved on after being accepted?
I know it’s trendy to say we have no influence and we have weak leadershipLead the world? We're a tiny nation that gets laughed at by others. We have no power any more. We have a weak leader in charge (and have done for years).
The world looks with envy at our democracy and our legal system again I know it’s trendy not to
I know it’s trendy to say we have no influence and we have weak leadership
It’s not how we are seen by many other nations across swathes of areas whether it’s science or our part in shared institutions like the un and echr

I’m not sure that’s quite how it works but you’re a reasonable man and if that’s your perception then it needs listening to and challengingYeah it must be great to have a charity that will tell you exactly how to get into the country and then will legally represent you to help you stay in the country...all for free. Want medical care and prescriptions? Free. Place to live? Free. Want to fire loads of kids out, they get paid for? Dental Care? Free, Bus pass? Ah go on free.
It's the envy for people who want to get on the gravy train.
Which? France? USA? Every other nation? Sounds a bit like every Muslim or every white person to meKeir Starmer is an absolute pansy, he looks like he's about to burst into tears at any moment any time he speaks to the nation. Other nations see us as weak and a soft touch and they're correct.
State pensions being a Ponzi scheme? I hadn't thought about it that way before, but yes.
Which? France? USA? Every other nation? Sounds a bit like every Muslim or every white person to me
We’re not generic groups who think and act the same just cause we share a gender or a faith or a place of birth
Yep you absolutely couldCould say the same for your point on being the envy of the world.
About what in particularAsk the people of Ukraine what they think about that.
I’m not sure that’s quite how it works but you’re a reasonable man and if that’s your perception then it needs listening to and challenging
My experience is people with trauma given pretty awful housing with no right to work pre paid cards with money for basic food and stuff but it may have changed significantly
I don’t think it has
And in the meantimeYeah it must be great to have a charity that will tell you exactly how to get into the country and then will legally represent you to help you stay in the country...all for free. Want medical care and prescriptions? Free. Place to live? Free. Want to fire loads of kids out, they get paid for? Dental Care? Free, Bus pass? Ah go on free.
It's the envy for people who want to get on the gravy train. People can enter the country illegally and then the tax payer will pay for everything and then pay for coaching and lawyers to get them asylum.

Are you saying that being gay is not an issue in these countries?Apropos of nothing
Asylum seekers claim they're gay in record numbers in desperate bid to stay

Not my statistics Pete. It‘s official government data. Three times the previous years numbers,Are you saying that being gay is not an issue in these countries?
That people are lying about being gay
That the home office just rubber stamp a claim when the person says they’re gay?
It’s not what a friend who works for the immigration law centre has experienced
PS they don’t “earn” anything, it’s all just handed on a plate.Where’s the healthcare from?

The local shop is robbed daily and undesirables wandering the streets day and night
Sounds like Earlsdon Co-op, and I can tell you the people robbing it aren't asylum seekers, fella.
A thread about kids being killed has descended into blaming immigrants and poor people. Pathetic.
Towing dinghies back to France isn't gonna sort any of the root causes or stop people crossing.
How short are peoples' memories? Used to be the tunnel, that got put in the spotlight, now it's boats.
Desperate people will find a way to get here. If you can't accept that, you're just howling into the void.
I’m pretty sure towing boats back would stop people crossing in boats.Sounds like Earlsdon Co-op, and I can tell you the people robbing it aren't asylum seekers, fella.
