Bone up on not changing your story when you don't like responses to what you actually said.
Even Keir doesn’t want 'open borders' to help the NHS.

coming from you, that is comedy gold
They touched on this on a recent political tv show, maybe QT. A panel member said to the effect of 'at the end of the day, we need people to fill roles such as picking fruit, so if British people don't want to do these roles then ...'
Now the counter to that (by British people) is often wage related i.e. these people are brought in as cheap labour. So this is what I mean about we need to own the whole debate. If we feel these roles should be better paid (to entice British people into them) the consequence might be higher costs through the supply chain. So are we for example happy to pay more at the check-out? The answer to that might be yes, although I doubt it.
Send all the pesky foreigners home!!!
Emmm, we have a shortage of workers for these roles now.
Oops!
You're mixing your winkles up with your cockles.
I was under the impression you didn't get the point and so it goes on.
I find It ironic that the people who argue EU workers lowered wages are almost always are against the RMT strikes…where unions are negotiating for better pay and conditions.
If immigrant labour is able to lower wages because Supply and Demand is allowed to set wage rates…..then the root of the problem is lack of controls ensuring workers get fair wages. It is not the presence of excess Labour - that’s a symptom not a cause.
They aren’t.
UKs asylum application per capita is way down the list, around 18th of European countries.
I hear some Albanians want to come here, maybe UK is a bit better than there
I wonder how vinty always manages to believe the opposite of the truth.
It's not quite the same as comparing it to the Irish Famine now, is it?
Dutch government moves to ‘buy out’ farmers
Farmers in the Netherlands will be asked to sell up, relocate or change enterprises in the Dutch Government’s bid to meet its climate goals. Barry Murphy reports.www.farmersjournal.ie
This article @MisesInstitute.org goes on to explore further causes of this grim period of Irish history and at no point does it mention the English government buying out the landed gentry, or the tenant farmers who grew potatoes as their staple crop while exporting the profitable grain out of the country.

We rank 4th on top destinations for illegal immigrants. Looking at refugee intake will always be skewed by countries taking in hundreds and thousands from their war torn neighbours.
It's to be hoped it doesn't go down the same route. It's's early days yet in the transformation taking place to save the planet and cutting back Irish farming by 30% is a significant loss given that Irish farming plays a leading role in their wealth creation. Can anybody predict where we'll be ten years time?
It depends on your sources who held the land, some reports trace some of the owners being from London.
Reading your link it does say agricultural land was owned by the English.

They do. Palestinians have been 'living' in refugee camps in Jordan since 1948.
We do have a very blinkered view on who deserves our help, don't we?
those aren’t included in the figures.
at the top of the list is Cyprus.
most European countries, including France, Germany etc are way ahead of UK.
I’m not sure what that means, is that a result of a poll?
asylum seekers aren’t illegal immigrants
