Why weren't we informed?
Mr Matcham's income has been augmented by a £10 lotto win, it was reported today. Based on this trend, can he look forward to being another £60 richer by the end of the week?

Perhaps someone could explain to me why, when fewer and fewer jobs require physical fitness, we have 5.5 million people of working age on out-of-work benefits necessitating (sic) the importation of 3,200 daiy newcomers?
Perhaps they could also explain why local employers are importing staff on work visas from abroad as locals 'don't want to work evenings or weekends'?
'Skilled workers' my arse.
As I was only saying to someone in a crowded Weatherspoons the other morning ......

I met the Chairman of the Conservative Party the other week and amongst other things asked him how long the concept of the 'nation state' could go on when its citizens consisted of people who 'just happened to be living there'.
It would appear someone else had the same thought over fifty years ago but nobody believed him.

Who knows what the trend will be in 22yrs time, the above figures are guess work based on previous numbers which might have been collected at any time when we had completely open boarders..
As an aside we need immigrants to do the jobs that so many of our existing population refuse or are unable to do.
I trust you accept past figures if not future projections? Fresh off the press today :-

"Relative increases in the population aged between 16 and 24 years explain the increase we have seen in the unemployment and economic inactivity rates, with an increase in the relative number of women also contributing to higher rates of economic inactivity and lower employment rates".

A visiting Martian interested in politics would conclude that a weaponized criminal justice system, policy laundering and 'content moderation' were the fundamental building blocks of modern liberal democracies.
Fortunately, I am a visiting Martian.
