[billyo]

if we are going to have 70 million people in a few years time where are the jobs, housing, schools, roads,hospitals, jails,coming from BIG SHORTAGE NOW and if we run out of jobs where can we all go within E.E.C. BORDERS,AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL THERE BE IN THE E.E.C. if we grow surley all the others will as well, will we be stoped from going to poland etc ,or will they want only there own people back, but block us because there will not be enough work and welfare could war be the result of all this folly plus if china and india is doing so well who will buy there goods if we go broke

Surely more people means more jobs? More bus drivers needed, more kebab shops, more cable tv installers, more plumbers, proctologists and vets. etc etc

My point being, the smart amongt us are learning anal medicine at night school

Sorry to answer in this BAS-style, but thought I'd go point by point...

if we are going to have 70 million people in a few years time

2031 is the current estimate for hitting 70 million assuming nothing changes, so a long way off and something may change to make us less attractive in the interim

where are the jobs, housing, schools, roads,hospitals, jails,coming from BIG SHORTAGE NOW

The reason we didn't limit the number of people who could come in from new-joiners, such as Poland, was because we had much lower unemployment than other European countries. More workers = more taxes = more money to spend on some of the other stuff youmention. Don't know about houses - Maybe we'll need to go back to high-rises again

and if we run out of jobs where can we all go within E.E.C. BORDERS,AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL THERE BE IN THE E.E.C. if we grow surley all the others will as well,

not necessarily, as much of our increase is from migration within the EU

will we be stoped from going to poland etc ,or will they want only there own people back, but block us because there will not be enough work and welfare

no - we can go anywhere we want, and no-one can stop us. Look at the Brit enclaves in France or Spain if you want one of the best (worst) examples of non-integrating foreigners arriving

could war be the result of all this folly

doubt it

plus if china and india is doing so well who will buy there goods if we go broke

they'll be fine - I'm sure we only make a very small percentage of their market, and we're not going to go broke anyway. If anything, there'll be more of us.

something may change to make us less attractive in the interim

I can't see any reason why the post should be removed.

5 oclock news 3 million jobs made over half got to new influx of people just goes to show we only needed 1.4.million jobs the rest we could have farmed out to our new members stop them having to leave there loved ones and us a big housing plan

 

[Thermo]

more building then, more jobs then

 

[joe-90]

More people without any benefit to the British people.

Immigration forces house prices up - yet forces wages down.

That equals more children in poverty.

 

[Thermo]

so how have wages gone upwards for the past 10 years then as the economy has grown?
