re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

Quote:
Those who wish Britain to leave the EU may feel this is a price worth paying to regain sovereignty and control of borders. But they should be honest about the choices it will entail and clear-sighted about the risks.
If we carry on with migration at current levels, the price we're going to have to pay in terms of such things as our way of life is going to be huge and irreversible and for me that outweighs a GDP argument which seems to be based on population growth. It's already the equivalent of 3 cities the size of Cambridge every year.

I keep hearing people telling us that we need more people to pay for our growing elderly population but what none of them ever address is what happens when the migrants themselves grow old. Until they can address that with an iota of credibility their argument is ridiculous.
