In reality there are things we need to import into this country and that includes certain people because of certain job roles, however our government should be controlling imports better but well we have seen how that has gone under both the Tories and Labour.

I was talking to someone about this a few months ago, he said we could get away with not importing anything, until I asked him where his computer stuff is going to come from, where his medication is going to come from etc etc at which point he realised importing is not bad as long as it's controlled and done correctly, but when there are no controls etc it causes problems.
