    Is it though? Sky high rent, destroying the country side, the NHS is overwhelmed, the rise of the far right, all are caused in part by over population (and high immigration is s causing over population. White people are below replacement rate)

    I realize that the benefits of lower wages and a more abusable work force are attractive, but they simply don’t outweigh the costs.

      Sky high rent

      Nothing to do with immigration. But direct cation from the Tories, who spent the 80s arguing social housing was unfair competition on the private rental sector. Went out of their way to destroy that sector. Now no competition exists to limit housing costs. Our own voters for the last 50 years are responsible for housing costs.

      the NHS is overwhelmed

      More people working for the NHS, more people paying taxes. Vs Tories intentionally refusing to increase spending inline with inflation. While actually increasing the cost of staff by forcing most qualified nurses and doctors to work as more expensive contract staff.

      It does not take much to see why Tory propaganda wants you to bereave that bullshit.

      The rise of the far right is caused by the far right elements of the tory government selling crap excuses for their own actions. Over 50 years. But really upping the game for the last 14.

      The lead up to the last election was so full of Tory blame slinging, it’s fucking ridiculous. Labour may not be much better in their desperate attempt to appeal to the right. But the Tories have been playing this game since the 1920s, when immigration bullshit first launched against German immigrants in the press. Timed perfectly with the growth of socialism and unions, within the working class.

      Neither of these have anything to do with immigration.

      over population. White people are below replacement rate

      UK is not overpopulated.

      You are the perfect example of a dog whistling racist.
