Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Pienaar's gloves]

As an aside, I live in Southwark, which is the 9th most densely populated ward in the country, and I believe officially classified as 'deprived'. The population of the borough is approximately 35% foreign, or roughly 3 times the population as a whole, with an almost 50/50 split in terms of ethnicity. That's a heck of a bubble

I recently had afternoon tea at your cathedral.

Very disappointing.

Just pointing out to nobody in particular...

If you have to change your argument constantly to justify your viewpoint, then it might be worth reassessing your view.

Following one belief fundamentally when you can't justify it isn't a strength (although it is often treated as such).

You raise a really good point. Perhaps we should have another thread where we must all argue the opposite viewpoint, i.e all remainers become brexiteers and all Brexiteers become remainers......should be fun....Bruce can argue both sides of the immigration issue.......

the stress on housing, the schools - the gp appointments

What would happen if lots of British people moved to the area?

 

[peteblue]

you totally contradicted yourself, because your position is untenable, either the EU hinders global trade or it doesn't. If it doesn't why leave? It it does why does it not hinder Germany?

Re the education differences, the German system offers a much broader syllabus, much less testing and reliance upon exam results and league tables, plus there's no postcode lottery in the German system.

Oh for something like Grammar Schools which does away with the postcode lottery and the advantage of rich parents....

Did you actually see the point I made about Germany.....

Afternoon tea in general is a bit disappointing I swear it's designed to rip tourists off.

It's got nothing to do with Grammar schools, it's about preparing their population regardless of academic ability for the rigours of working life and being good employees regardless of their status.

My main business had as its major client a German company selling to the German public. Their workforce at every level from most junior to the senior management were superior to all other I have ever done business with.

Anyway you are just trying to deflect from the paucity of your economic argument for leaving the EU.

Not sure you understood me. The town has a population of ~30,000 people. Lets say 10,000 new residents moved to the town from Skegness or Birmingham or wherever. Would the same problems apply?

Bruce 330 thousand net immigrants every year yes that will cause problems, and has caused problems as reported housing at a all time low building programme!

That didn't really answer my question, but yes, house building is at a low.

Wasn't net migration about 0.4% of the population?

It was the size of a medium large town 330'000 net up on the year before, migration will always happen in the U.K. By the way our history is there to,prove that in a positive way, controlling it on a work visa or student visa basis is not being racist.
As other big countries outside the EU do just that!

Sorry mate, I was wrong. Closer to 0.3%.
