You upped sticks and moved to Bristol, use their roads, health service etc etc. You are a drain on Bristol resources and infrastructure yet you are not from there.

Only if you were deliberately being literal.

Then again, If I'm honest I don't think you are someone I'd rely upon to know the difference between sense and nonsense.

They are literally hundreds of studies showing the correlation between population growth and air traffic growth.

In this article, sourced from a peer-reviewd study, they state that for every 1% increase in population, there is a 1.5% increase in air traffic.

Facts are "waaaycist" though, right? Delusional indeed.

Don't burst his (and Kermit's) bubble Dave.

They're both having a good laugh about the non affects of population increases on the UK infrastructure and air traffic.

There are none so blind, than those that will not see.

He's a net drain on resources if his household income is less than ca. £33,000. This is the break-even point between being a net contributor or net beneficiary to the state.

Now. What's the population of Bristol?

Let's ignore those "economically inactive" ones and concentrate on the 3-million-odd that are in work - "doing the jobs lazy Brit scum won't do". How many of those earn a salary above the threshold above? Many Pret's baristas earn anything near that? Don't bother linking me to the UCL CReAM study, or gleeful reporting of it's derivatives - there's plenty of study and re-analysis about the assumptions put into that EU-funded group's efforts.

What we should be doing is incentivising the British "economically inactive" to take up the jobs these migrants are doing. Yes, it might well still be a net cost to the treasury, but what's the point in importing that cost whilst having a non-zero unemployment rate?

Let me put it in a way you socialists can understand: We have fields and fields of turnips in the ground. Turnip production remains steady, comrade. We only need to import turnips (from other comrade brothers also involved in the struggle, of course) when we will use up all the turnips in our fields.

1.6m Brits are unemployed. There are 3m+ EU employed. So, it is clear we need some migration, where the demand exists beyond what is available in-situ. No one, except the fictional strawmen you lot love to construct, wants to stop all migration, but it needs to come down and we need to mobilise the stagnant human resources currently unused. How do we do that? I'm not the politician - that's their job, but it is their duty to provide the means and mechanisms to get these people working. Have them plant turnips or something if they won't.
