P.K. Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Now about that link that only 1 in 4.5 EU migrants in the UK are in work. Haven't seen it yet. Then there's the link that shows that food exported from the EU is actually originally sourced elsewhere. Haven't seen that one yet either.....

I absolutely agree with that if someone posts an open question that they could find the answer to themselves. However if some idiot posts a load of drivel that they then completely fail to substantiate then there's no way me or anyone else on here is going to waste their time finding out if it's true or not. You have produced zero evidence for your claims therefore you have completely FAILED to convince anyone on here that they are true. The ONLY things you have achieved is to make yourself appear to be a nasty racist who hasn't the faintest grasp of reality and just wastes a load of bandwidth. Back on "Ignore".

woody2 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 have you noticed everyone in the gov. is now calling it "mays deal" the legislation that allows the vote (the one john claims isn't in use) was voted for by mp's...... it's clear- except the deal or not....... may didn't want this vote so is it a confidence vote or not....... if mps wanted more options on the table they should of passed them at the time......(nobody backed the amendments) the pm then has 2 weeks to inform parliament what its going to do.... up to 7 days after that a non legally binding motion by mp's...... the default is always a no deal exit.....

Freggyragh Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 According to the latest report from office of national statistics (up to September 2018): There were 2.25 million EU nationals working in the U.K. economy. There are 3.8 million non-UK EU nationals living in the U.K. So just over 59% of non EU nationals in the U.K. are in work. There were 32.41 million people in work in the general population. The UK has a population of 66.02 million people. So just over 49% of the general UK population is in work. Something you will notice from this simple research: EU ‘migrants’ are considerably more likely to be in work and paying taxes than the native population.

P.K. Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Amusing that the 1 in 4.5 relates to the 2.4 UK stereotype. Look it up Woody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 As in the Isle of Man, lots of people are resident in the UK that don't need to work or have chosen to take a work break to bring up children. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the absence of anything else other than #Woodyfacts I’ll go with the ons figures thanks. Interesting that you highlighted the number for non-British born - 15.6 million. If only 3.8 million of these are from the U.K. then over 75% of immigration is not from the EU at all. It seems to me the U.K. has either chosen to allow these people in (invited them to come back in the fifties and sixties) or chosen not to enforce the rules that it had complete control over - probably because they deem immigration to be good for the economy.
