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

What I can't understand is that they keep saying that we need immigrants to work to pay taxes to keep us all in old age as well as literally care for our needs as employees.

If we need extra young people in the country, why is the Government going to limit benefits to the first two children? You'd think they'd be encouraging people to have as many as possible.

Perhaps it's because its cheaper to import immigrants than pay for maternity, health, education etc of children born here- but at what other costs?

As the vote seems to be going against the Government, I'm surprised that they haven't used the murder of Jo Cox as an excuse to cancel it.

It wouldn't surprise me if they used the murder as an excuse to nullify the result if it was to leave- saying that people were unduly influenced or that many were protest votes against violence.
