          You are really advocating importing people to do the jobs for other people.

          The 1800's are calling they want their slave trade back 👀

            This is a kind of a populist answer.

            if you don't want to be working at the age of 80 or see your taxes increasing, you need to have more active people working that also includes creating more jobs.

            You prefer to have a British citizen working at the age of 80 instead of an immigrant in their 30. Oh, and you should know that the slaves don't pay taxes.

              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.

                Like im gonna live to 80....

                But should we not look at a way to create a society which removes the need?

                And by just letting immigrants to do the work you never create a need so no one ever solves the problem.

                The uk is a nation of inventors we gave the world the internet

                For free......

                Just let that sink in.

                  Yes, you can create a society which removes the need for more immigrants if you create the conditions to increase the birth rate.

                  Remembering the past without finding the solutions for the future it's not a good idea.

                    See if you can spot the error in logic you have made there.

                      So have you been stockpiling from work the isotopes that sustain you?
