Dave very obviously struggling to stay below the 100,000 promised whilst we're in the EU.

Be fair now, he's been busy shopping for cars.

Yes a good old Blitish Nissan. She is a millionaire in her own right. Why not a Morgan or Bristol. What a pathetic stunt.

[Old_Geezer]

Naturally, since we already have too many folk here, net migration should be negative.

From the EU we have gained 184,000 or 55.26% of the total, which we can do little about until we leave. On the other hand 149,000 or 44.74% is from outside the EU which could have been tackled if the political will was there.

Seems politicians are too concerned with more important matters than the state of the nation.

Must go to Specsavers, just completely misread last line of Retros post ;o)

That was a cunning stunt from Kenny. Nothing to do with me mate. :-)

[Bertrum]

If you calculate it in the tens of thousands that's only just over 30 ten thousands

[Bigbad]

The use of the word “gross” is misleading.

I think it is reasonably safe to say that the majority of Brits leaving the UK, have money to support themselves.

I know of plenty of retired people, for example, who have chosen to live in a warmer climate: They buy a house, they have an income, and have not gone abroad to claim benefits or expect their chosen country to support them.

It’s unlikely that those leaving the UK are going to some backwards p*** poor rat hole, and take the place of those that have left, therefore balancing things up.

The very orange looking Dave is struggling because he becomes more weak and spineless with each day, and cares more about his European puppet masters, than he does about British citizens.

[Bigbad]

Sorry folks, that should have read "net" is misleading.
I always get my net and gross in a mucking fuddle!

[Old_Geezer]

Retired people are less likely to be taking a job from someone in the country they chose to live in either. They are basically contributors to the local economy from their pension/savings.

[jourdain2]

^^^ Quite right O_G. Many of the little communes where I used to live acknowledge quite openly that without ex-pat pensioners their economy would dwindle and tradesmen would fail. Their young people have fled to the cities.

has the Motley read this? this is reality.

[THEMOTLEY1]

Of course I've seen it TWR, what I was questioning on your "overcrowed" thread was your disrespect of The English and the UK.
OK?
