Here we are - The completely non-contentious immigration thread!

Let me kick off by an article in Today's Daily Telegraph

Higher immigration helps Britain avoid recession (msn.com) -

Is immigration in its a broadest sense a contentious issue on here? 🤷‍♂️

Given it's been on here for 24 hours and so few posts, suggests that that posters are not keen to post on the thread.

Well I will comment , do we really want 45,000 immigrants coming over every year. I certainly don’t! This country ain’t the biggest as it is . Should be some for sure but not that many

Why not? 45,000 doesnt seem that much to me out of a population of 70 million that's just 0.06%

Would you be opposed to these numbers if the population of the Uk was falling, or is just the fact that they are foreign that you don't like.

I’m opposed to them because we are a small country , haven’t got enough houses for our own . They can’t keep putting them up in hotels , holiday parks etc . It’s ridiculous. Not to mention when boat loads are just men . Families our ok if they are escaping countries that abuse them

I don't think it's an either or scenario, the homelessness in this country is a disgrace , but cuts to services such as Mental health /drugs & alchohol services/domestic abuse support exacerbate the problem.

Re immigraton I'm not saying that we should have open doors policy , but we should be doing our fair share and urging other countries to do the same!

Anyone who has travelled 1000s of miles, risking their lives to get here , deserves respect and a fair hearing .
