Re: Unstoppable migration?
If/when times get really hard we're likely to see people feeling and caring much more about the effects of uncontrolled migration. These things are relative, what we see as tough conditions would not put off a great many people still wanting to come here since most of these people (both EU and non EU) originate from countries which are far poorer than ours.
If things carry on with anything like 300,000 more people every year, how long is it going to be before we arrive at the point at which there are irreversible changes to our way of life? Is anyone considering this or are they just hoping it won't happen? Frankly I'd rather HMG acts before it gets to that point and not wake up one day and find it's already happened. That's when the big problems will start.
