Immigration may be a small part of the debate but it certainly
has the most major impact on everything else. Getting out won't cure all our ills or return Britain to what it was 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years since, but it will at least put a brake on the galloping changes happening to the Country.
Getting out of the eu would save the Country money (the exact amount can't be stated as all the figures are juggled to suit the claimant) but we'd certainly save at least all sides are agreed upon that. The money saved could then be reinvested within the UK as "we" require & on what "we" decide.
Control of our borders would be in our hands & "we" could decide the requirements & conditions for entry as they suit "us" & not because we belong to some "club" whose members we have to admit regardless.
Housing, health & education are
all impacted by immigration whether you like it or not. The bigger the population the more pressing the needs on the aforementioned services, added to that the illiteracy & inability of immigrants to grasp the basics of the English language adds further costs in the form of translated forms & paper work or interpretors.
Benefit payments reduce the Countries ability to pay for services for its populace, it's problem enough when you're paying for your own lame & lazy who've no intention of contributing to society, but what's even worse is paying for the rest of the worlds sick, lame & lazy who not only won't work, but can't work because of language or education
(immigrants mainly) at least our own can be gotten a grip on.
So you see where this is going, you may dismiss immigration as an irrelevance, but it most certainly isn't, it is in fact an extremely relevant issue.
And finally before you get on at me about being a little Englander/racist/fascist/Nazi or whatever hand wringing, whining lefty epithet you deem fitting, a few facts about me.
I left UK with the Army, based in Germany, worked with various nationalities & religions, learnt the language(German, even some Nepali), got out
(See, I'm also an immigrant) married & settled here, assimilated into the community & lived as a good little european, travel extensively round NW Europe, & most importantly, work hard (doing some god awful jobs) & pay my way in society.
But I still think UK should get OUT!
