    Shocking immigration hysteria

    Apart from the fact that this article is all "hypothetical" i.e. made up numbers, look at the comments section

    New migrants could hypothetically cost the UK billions | UK | News | Daily Express

    Mere bigotry? There's some pretty nasty bile in there that would make even a bigot blush.

      Reading the Time recently is a struggle. The even were counting down the hours to the influx of immigrants with commenters chanting ukip nonsense and eu burn.

      Glad I'm not living amongst such shortsighted individuals.

        which bit do you disagree with?

        Its the exact opposite of migrants bring wealth to our society stories we have been seeing. They have taken a small minority, grabbed a small number of figures and rounded it up to represent the whole of the migration and added in values that make their case seem logical at first glance.

        Surely you should be celebrating at such incisive reporting and call anyone who disagrees with you an imbecile?

          Waiting for Romanian immigration must be like having sex with Sting. Takes ages to come and it'll probably be an anticlimax.
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            I think immigration of hard working people is a welcomed. Especially when their British counterparts fail to do a quality job and want to charge three times as much. You'll not find me contesting that. I've read many an article of 'My kitchen was fitted by Bulgarian builders who worked 5 days flat to see the job done whereas a UK builder had a 3 month waiting list, cost three times as much, and it was cup of tea time by 9am having only arrived on-site an hour earlier'

            I disagree with the bits that focus pick pockets coming our way, to make use of our welfare state etc. It's a complete knee jerk reaction from the right in fear of loosing votes to ukip, is it not?

            Besides growth in the UK is dependent on us becoming a super consumer nation, not competitive manufacturers <those days are dead and buried>, we're obsessed by profit & short term goals.

              Is now the wrong time to say I'm a UKIP member?

                You're trolling, I can tell.

                  I knew I'd seen you somewhere:

                    I'm afraid not.
