New legislation

[starone]

To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Home Office Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and NHS costs. Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home. I started to cry when I thought of you and how I’ll miss you.

Then it dawned on me ... oh, hell... I'll see you on the bus!

Sounds about right Star, see you on the bus.

It's strange that immigration figures are always quotes as "net" - that is to say the difference between those entering and those leaving. This hides the fact that the population is being exchanged. That is, those who are valuable, have skills and can contribute leave (because they are fed up with being taken for a ride in the UK) and are replaced with unskilled unemployable foreigners (because they know they will be well looked after here).

It is downright dishonest to quote these net figures. Presumably we could export all our top managers and innovators (and self-sufficient pensioners)and replace them one for one with people incapable of any meaningful work. Net immigration nil. Job Done !!

Wrong thread NJ?

No:

"To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Home Office Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and NHS costs"

Very relevant. I know Starbuck's idea is tongue-in-cheek (hopefully!) but the issue I have with "net" immigration figures ties in. Ship out a few hundred thousand self-sufficient seniors, ship in a few hundred thousand unemployables. Net immigration nil. Everybody's happy. (Or that's what the government would hope. I most certainly would not be).

New Judge - this is in the Joke section - does that give you a clue??

[New Judge]

The trouble is, maggie, things that you think are a joke turn out to be all too true.

Don't worry new judge I knew what you were saying, and yes I keep my tongue very firmly in my cheek.
