Like I said, no scientific consensus.
The media lie and misrepresent. Just follow, and question, the science. |

I agree.
1000000 a year is a startling number and shows why stopping the boats won't really help in the grand scheme of things and the Rwanda scheme was a non starter. |

Because they do jobs we won't do. It's cheaper in the short term. That's all politicians are interested in.

Science told us to stop using CFC's. We did and the Ozone layer repaired itself.
There was never consensus about an ice age. Although one day there will be another one.
There's pretty much total consensus about climate change. |

The damage we do is considerably worse than volcanoes. Unless about 50 huge ones erupt at the same time and even that would be short lived. |

Because it's cheaper in the short term. They do jobs we either won't do or can't do. That has to change in most cases, but a government is only looking at the next election and not 20 years down the road. |

I'm familiar with that and there's a lot more where that came from. They're usually caused by the same gases that humans are emitting now and are followed by a massive extinction.
From that article.
"A huge outpouring of lava, known as the Deccan Traps, occurred in India during the latest Cretaceous. Some paleontologists believe that the carbon dioxide that accompanied these flows created a global greenhouse effect that greatly warmed the planet."
I'd rather avoid that. If we could tax stupidity we'd be fine. [Post edited 29 Nov 22:43]

We don't take the majority in, we invite them because we need them. Whether that's because they pay to be at university or because we need them to work.
Is it too many? Probably. Is it too many for the services we can provide. Definitely.
Both of those are our fault. |

It's a rant I agree with.
The problem is that no party can deal with the problem without being pillored.
Means testing WHA is fine, agricultural land being exposed to a reduced inheritance tax is fine too. We need to go further too. |

It's hard to disagree with any of that. I do think the issue of over stretching resources needs to be acknowledged as a Tory austerity problem rather than immigration, but this is the situation we're in and it needs to be sorted.
It's going to cost us. It's as simple as that. |

I just don't understand how Newton Faulkner is relatively unknown, but a less talented fellow ginger guitar looping artist is has managed to sell out Wembley and headline Glastonbury. |

The oil industry would never do similar with climate change would they? |

It would be interesting to see that data broken down in to demopgraphics. I suspect a significant percentage of those non-EU persons are students if they aren't accounted for, children and women (who often don't work).
Looking around the stadium on a match day over 90% of staff in the food / drink places are immigrants, probably 40% of stewards. The Africans I've spoken to are usually Nigerian students most seem to be studying "public health", the Indians some form of engineering.
Ineterestingly despite the number of students (and families) from SE in uni in Swansea I've never seen any in work.
When I was a teenager and then a student I was dying to get a Saturday / part time job. It was difficult. Why the stadium isn't full of non-immigrants but actually local young people is a question that would go a long way to reducing our dependence on immigrant Labour. Becasue it is a dependence. |

Immigration is way off the scale, nearly a million a year completely legal migrants invited to this country is bonkers and completely unsustainable. Invited by a government who have completely destroyed public services through austerity.
It's the boats that are the problem though even though they make up less than 5% of the total. And of course Starmer's for not sorting it out in 5 months. |

There was an article on the BBC yesterday about how some young people can't find a job. The excuses used were pathetic. Ranging from they don't have enough support to having anxiety.
I've heard of someone today getting PIP for having a prostrate problem.
Our social safety net needs to be a lot lower. |
