Let's have some facts and figures then.
Then what of the home grown criminals, crime lords, spongers off the state etc. ???
If you actually took the time and ask businesses in this country as to what they want, it's people with skills, and that is why they recruit from abroad, because they can't get them here. Al;so, too many of the home grown businesses such as plumbers, electricians , etc., have been over charging consumers for years. Then when people come in from Europe who work for less, work harder and don't try to con customers, out comes the brexit whinging.
The home grown crims and spongers are easy to know and find. we don't need to add to them do we?
Facts and figures... well Stephen there in lies the whole big picture. WE DON'T KNOW who is in this country and what they are up to. IF we had some kind of control- not much to ask- then I could probably tell you. but open door means well too many to count as many don't come in legally anyway.
Stephen you obviously do not know my kind of work or my knowledge on these matters, I can assure you we have a brain drain here,many NHS staff have moved abroad. Do you know how we check if a consultant from Pakistan is really a consultant? or GP, mmmm
And what I can tell you is this in a very small village with 5 outlets for shops there are 3 Chinese take aways and two Indian kebab shops, no pubs at all, no clubs either, they have a lot of different staff.many don't speak English. This village really really needs a post office.... A rise in crime has been recorded- no arrests.
