Immigration is such a hot potato. I walk out of the room when the older generation in my extended family talk about it, with opinions based on red top periodicals.

I suspect most of Asia and Africa had a similar view back in the day when we were busy removing as much wealth as possible from the colonies whist beating the local people into submission.

We are reaping what we sowed and have few grounds to complain.

Shhh...don't let fact and truth get in the way of hyperbole and nonsense!

Immigrants. We clap for them on Thursdays. Thank them for propping up the NHS. Then berate them for having moved here.



The guy who jumped out in front of the car is an idiot, but yet your comment suggesting killing him doesn't leave you looking much better!

There should be a little "Xenophobia Immigration Test" before you are seen/assisted by a immigrant NHS worker. If it turns out you believe everything you read in The Daily Mail, then you'll have to wait for all-white-homegrown 100% British Doctors and Nurses, after all that's the only people you'd trust. You might be waiting a while!

The economy would probably be better off if we shook off the Baby Boomers who are sucking the economy dry with their pensions and use of the NHS ... ;)
I rather like my big fat final salary pension thankyou ..after 36 years of paying into it. :dance::saifi:

On a serious note, I know how lucky I am. I worked for an Aerospace and Defence company for 36 years and fortunately for me, they protected all existing FS schemes, after they eventually stopped offering them to new employees, about 12 years ago now. So I was very fortunate. I was also able to take it early at 57 so even better. Result!
