Ssssssshhhhhh, don't mention Reform.

[Mottie]

Spongers eh?

“The average UK-based migrant from Europe contributed approximately £2,300 more to UK public finances in 2016/17 than the average UK adult. In comparison, each UK born adult contributed £70 less than the average, and each non-European migrant contributed over £800 less than the average.”

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration on the UK

European migrants living in the UK contribute £2,300 more to public purse each year than the average adult, suggesting a net contribution of £78,000 to the exchequer over their lifespan in the UK.

"The average European migrant arriving in the UK in 2016 will contribute £78,000 more than they take out in public services and benefits over their time spent in the UK"

They must have been on a bloody good whack, washing cars, picking vegetables, working as kitchen porters, cleaning houses, waiting on tables and cutting hair!

Who the fùck were those 'migrants'?

 

[motorbiking]

I think radio 4 did a fact check on that. Of course migrants who need work visas will contribute more on average, because... well they have to have a job with a certain pay to have a work visa.

 

[Notch7]

yeah, because the greedy farmers didn't pay enough for UK workers to do it.

WRONG

British people won’t do the job at any price.

And it’s itinerant work, so British workers who rent or mortgage can’t do it.

You are either being stupid or a liar


EU workers didn’t need visas

Remind me what happened to unemployed EU workers pre-brexit.

here is another version the claim

Was Sadiq Khan’s claim about migrant and UK-born workers’ contributions to the economy accurate? – Full Fact

In an interview last month the Mayor of London claimed on average a “skilled migrant” contributes £16,000 a year to the economy, and a “Brit skilled worker” £800 a year.

fullfact.org

So of course someone who is here to work is going to contribute, otherwise they go home.

Thank you for proving Motties claim of “sponging EU workers” is wrong

Unlike the influx of post-Brexit boat people. Clever move eh.

Brexit - utter pile of shít.

Reform led councils are going to be a total disaster

Reform councillors are incompetent idiots, who arrogantly claimed they could save money

It’s going to be a beautiful thing to watch

If you genuinely believe that to be true, you are one sick ****.

here is another version the claim

From your link:

“A study found that in 2022/23 a migrant skilled worker made an average net fiscal contribution of £16,300, higher than the £14,400 of a UK-born working adult”


So migrants make a bigger contribution to U.K. economy than British workers.


Well that’s odd, migrant haters like you and Mottie claim they lower wages abd cause a drain on public services and claim benefits. But now you are arguing the opposite.

You are all over the place.

 

[Notch7]

Reform party sold lies and now they are gonna have to try and deliver on those lies.

Nothing sick about seeing con artists get shown up.


The sick thing is the idiots who fell for it.

because to work here they must have a visa, a job and a minimum salary. You do understand how to work out the average don't you?

If you take 100 random numbers from 0-50 the average is going to be around 25. If you then do the same from 20-50, what do you think the answer will be?

That is how you get to a higher contribution, there are fewer migrants here who are unemployed due to visa conditions.
