Precisely, this seems to be a healthy debate but then with 1 person calling others stupid, I'm sure the irony is lost there.

Anyway, immaturity aside, most intelligent people are not gullible and narrow minded enough to blame immigration. corporate tax avoidance is one of many other real issues that make the country poorer on top of austerity and cuts to public services and cost of living, inflation etc

When we talk about poverty though, I don't think the country is poor, just that the people at the bottom have been screwed over, they paid the price for bailing out the banks. Ordinary People can't afford to live so that the banks get richer. Not one prosecution from the banking scandal from 10 years ago, just 7 figure pay offs

Taxing the wealthy brings in more tax revenue, undoubtedly. The threats of the wealthy leaving the UK if taxed too highly have never materialised in significant numbers when taxes on them specifically have been raised.

why don't people annoyed about this ?

instead they bash people with nothing cos they smoke

How old are you?

Almost everyone with more than 10 brain cells left the UK during Harold Wilson's reign due to high taxation which is why the country earned such a reputation for poor management as it did because there was no-one left here.

We suffered the biggest brain drain in 50 years in 2007/8 as hundreds of thousands of highly qualified Brits decided to leave the Labour run country and it's only in recent years where the burden of taxation has been lowered has this exodus been stopped

I don't want to get between you guys.

A lady friend volunteers at the Passage which is a homeless charity based near Westminster Abbey. I asked her the same question. Her gut fill is that the majority of people she sees appear to be British. They nearly all have mental health issues.

Of course she only sees a small section in one location. I asked her about begging and she feels that most of the people she sees don't do that.

If that is correct then does that mean there is a difference between the type of people we see on the street begging and the invisible people who go to homeless shelters. I don't know just posing the question based on my conversation with my friend.

There was no 'brain drain' in the 60's, a time of social enlightenment when it was a thrill to be young.

The older generation confuse 'brains' with economic movement particularly of the banking sector and associated property obsession;

We will hardly be shedding a tear over them, in fact it is a side of brexit we can live with.

Have you ever thought that a person more in tune with modern times would be more suitable in your role.
