Why is having a family from Paris or Prague move in next door any difference from a family from Pontypridd?
Do you have locks on your exterior doors?

Virgin just put fibre in the area, deal will beat BT by some for 300mb/s (new signing only). BT will lose me when the get out costs are low enough. Corbyn will have me on ComaradskiWetString service tied in forever at 50mb/s (subject to voting for the reds).
Ignore Corbyn he is off with the fairies.

where do you live?
I’ve lived in many parts of the UK but for most of my working life in and around London, but a short spell in the USA as well.

Why do you ask?

Not that you don’t know of course, but he is likely ascertaining whether you have lived in an area that has been blighted by immigration, as your incredibly naive response implies.

It isn’t , absolutely isn’t

But,

as long as they are economically active and not a drain on the host country and their presence is of benefit to the UK, and if they abuse the host then a means of kicking them out

However, as the UK is one of the most desirable places in the world to live their has to be a filter to stop all 7.6 billion deciding they are coming to live in the UK
I think you overstate our attraction. The UK is popular because English is an internationally taught language so many immigrants have a head start. Geographically we are obviously close to The ME and Africa along with West and East Europe.

If our economy takes a dive immigration will automatically fall and some immigrants may leave, especially with up weak currency.

I have lived in areas with high immigration and I find your comment that it is a blight to be both offensive and possibly racist.

If it were not for the numbers of Britons leaving the UK the population growth would be even greater. The figures normally published are 'net' which reduces the figure by the numbers emigrating. The alternative? One alternative alone is insufficient but a more equal distribution of population away from the Home Counties (and, I daresay, other conurbations) is a good start. What happened to the recent New Towns policy? Scotland is on record this weekend as saying immigration is vital to their prosperity... whistle
