This for all migrants between the ages of 16 to 64. For a start you’re not comparing apples with apples - why not quote UK National men or for that matter why not quote all migrants…women and men? And anyway, if those numbers are true, is it also true therefore that 18% of migrant men claim benefits and use the NHS without doing a single days work and contributing tax/NI? That’s 18% of how many migrants in the last 14 years?

Migration has kept the age demographic of the UK roughly stable despite the boomer generation entering retirement and a birth rate below replacement levels. Take migration out of the equation and the UK population likely goes into decline and with an ageing population that is an economic and social nightmare. Not as much of a nightmare as an ever-growing population.

Both have problems but an uncontrolled shrinking population with our current population demographic would be significantly more problematic than our current slowly growing one. Houses and other facilities can be built a workforce to care for and financially support our population cannot be, robots and AI aren’t that good. Not to mention our entire financial system is built on growth. Long term global populations are due to decline which will take careful planning and management of the transition and amusingly potentially western countries ‘fighting’ over migrants. I do find your posting style amusing, nit pick one line from long posts and ignore the posts that correct your errors, classic and predictable. Edited 13 August, 2024 by a1ex2001

Have you considered that some of those men from the last 14 years could have reached retirement age and live off the pensions they have paid in to?

You didn’t and can’t. It’s all very well spouting numbers - where’s the solutions? The issue here is one of sustainability in a social care program that is on the brink of collapse. At what point do we say, there is no more money to do all the things we’d like to do? Look at the numbers of migrants waiting for their claims to be processed - how will that queue get resolved without the resources to do so? Are you willing to pay more tax to get the job done?

The cost to get the waiting list down will be very small in relative terms (500 people at £30k pa, £15m pa) - that's not an issue. The problem is employing and upskilling the people to do it, but it will start coming down later this year. The waiting list has only grown because the Tories removed the majority of funding for it and reduced the workforce by 4/5ths. Edited 13 August, 2024 by Farmer Saint

My issue is not your stats specifically, just that to ensure a proper fix is identified and deployed, it is essential to ensure that myths are exposed.

If the prison service "accidentally" let his segregation slip then a good hiding may deter him from being a such a cunt and deter him from further racism incitement.

I genuinely think that in his mind he thinks he has a noble cause and in fairness to him, from what I've seen he has a point about extremist islam and societal changes in the last few decades with some of what he says. The problem is that firstly he's a bit thick and many people who support him are openly racist and just want to attack Brown people and secondly he's in some weird partnership with the Blaze from Canada and Ezra lavant who is an extremely shady character along with proper grifters like Dan Wotton and that side of things is judt about pushing a false narrative and milking his supporters for donations. The authorities know that allowing him to get a kicking in prison could be one of the worst things to happen and those with a misplaced sense of grievance about him being unjustly persecuted will feel vindicated and likely want to take some actions themselves.
