Britain Hating Ideology

"European immigrants contribute £5bn to UK economy but non-EU migrants 'cost £118bn'"

 

Hi Felix, this was the headline to the article..... Perhaps if you got a calculator you could confirm migrants cost the UK taxpayer?

 

Hi matelot, I don't just read the headlines. Perhaps if you read the rest you will see where I pulled the quote from?

[matelot]

By my rubbish calculations that is £2,000 per person in the UK

What are these migrants doing? drinking gold?

 

I guess there are stats to support any view you want to hold.

 

I understand non EU migrants cost £118 billion over 17 years. That's about £7 billion a year.

 

The present benefit cuts are forecast to save £4.5 billion a year. I don't mind paying tax to support fellow Brits, but I don't want to pay tax for foreigners....

Looks like the Lords have sorted this one out for now. Good to see the upper chamber actually doing something for a change.

Watching Blackadder the Third on Dave ja vu, hilariously similar to today's politics!

I'm sure David knows what he's doing, perhaps he can come on Arbtalk and get expert advice on running the country.

 

Seems David ain't got a clue what he's doing.

 

He might give ya a shout after all.

Oh the irony of the undemocraticly unelected lords standing up for the working poor!

Yeah, just ban all benefits. That really would be a great society to live in

 

 

 

We might as well just get rid of the NHS as well.

 

 

Do you think we live in a great society now?

Wonderful bit of Insight there.

Indeed! A nifty wee move by them, no doubt with the hope that the masses will think " oh they're not just a bunch of freeloading bams after all":-)
