when the ancestral-British become a minority in their own town/village or 'Hood. That is not immigration, that is colonization.

Thornton Heath got colonised.

and the lessons from History ? ask a modern Apache, a Catholic from CarrickFergus or a native of the Balearic Islands.

Its a bit rich when Americans tell Native Americans to go back to where they came from.....or accuse them of being difficult if their English is not RP.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Shallow assumptive racism at work here.

You are labelling based on skin colour and appearance, end of.

You will deny that of course but there it is.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

The English will be a minority in England and the Irish will be a minority in Ireland. The Welsh a minority in Wales, and the Scots will still be drunk and digging up the poisoned dwarf's garden.

And it was all done deliberately....Brexit was literally an anti immigration vote yet they knowingly did the opposite.

When you bring in between half a million and a million people a year but don't have the housing stock for them and watch working class/middle class wages stall....it doesn't take a genius to work out who these people actually care about and work for.

And why some support them.

The assumptions are all made by you. I am not labelling anyone. I am describing what I know, from experience, to be true. The numbers of international medical staff at our hospital here have markedly increased and the recruitment is continuous, as many move on. Where they recruit from has changed since Brexit.

Perhaps you aren't interested in facts and just want to look for opportunities to make cheap slurs which aren't actually there.

For sure there will be and encouraging and training them will surely be a priority. If it happens.

If it happens though it would be the result of a projected economic downturn. Something that nobody wants and would be reversed asap. Then we will need to recruit abroad again.

Most of the comments in this thread are variations of a mantra that has been chanted by the right for decades.

There is nothing new nor anything resembling any kind of practical solution to the very real fundamental problem of a shortfall in the number of working-age people we need to sustain and grow our economy.

All they do is point out the side effects of the medicine we have
to take to cure the problem. Most medicines have side effects. That doesn't mean we can just stop taking the medicine.

If having a moan-fest makes everyone feel better, fine. I would rather see some practical ideas on how we deal with the social side effects.
