There’s plenty of votes in telling you they’ll cut the number of migrants, says Fleet Street Fox. Trouble is, we need more if we’re to survive
============================================
This article could not have been and will never be written by a politican for it is saying it as was, as it is and as it will be.
This is ‘The truth no voter is being told is that our economic problems can be solved in one of just two ways: either MORE immigrants, or FEWER old people.’ We should never wish for fewer old people for this is laying out what will come to pass if we do get rid of older people now, and what will occur when we all become older people. for we can only ever get older.
We could encourage people to have more children, but the 2 children rule on benefits is saying no one should have more than 2 children and could be implying that every women should have 2 children, but no more. More children or immigrants of a working age are needed, not only to ensure the retirement age pension can be paid for, but to increase the numbers of people who are able to work to progress the economy.
We can’t go on as we are for today as to do so will create an economic disaster larger, much larger than we currently have.
There are many areas of occupations were there are large shortages of people working in them, not just care, health, agriculture and hospitality, but many more including education and others.
Capital expenditure in other words investment building is also so dire, not just in housing, but with schools, hospitals, prisons and others, with many of the current buildings far from fit for purpose for many are crumbling and some not just with age. This is due to relaxed building regulations over the years and trying to save on capital expenditure, such as allowing buildings to be built with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, (RAAC). But even as these need to be repaired or demolition and rebuilt, we also need many more buildings of all natures as our population has to increase.
Immigration is the easiest way to increase a population as birth takes too long for the children to be economically productive and while they become adults their parents will be resticted on the hours they can reasonably work, if they can work at all.
In all this we are assuming that everyone will eventually be able to work in one degree or another, but with the advancements of medical science some who are born could well have some forms of disabilities or a range of medical condition which could restrict their ability to work. This as well as the UK increasing aging population means others will in time need access to social care and more needs from the NHS.
The UK does pay some forms of benefits to partially help with finance to families, but the benefits are way too low, not that easy to obtain and if you attain a disability or a restricting medical condition after retiring there are any benefits , except Attendence Allowance, which as some form of care inclusion but no mobility inclusion. It is as though the State is saying if you attain a disability or a restricting medical condition, get it before you attain pension age for then you could be eligible to claim the respective welfare benefits and if successful these should continue into retirement, but after retirement you will be resricted to Attendence Allowance should you not be already on benefits.
Riddiculous, yes it is, but it is how it is, When I attained my disability and restricting medical condition in retirement I couldn’t believe there were no effective benefits with a mobility inclusion so rand the DWP and spoke to a lady who may have thought she was being helpeful when she said to my question about what benefits were available ‘it is expected that people in retirement will become more suseptible to restricting medical conditions and then may have some forms of disabilities and it would be too expensive to have these benefits available.’
So if not in receipt of benefits before retirement, on having medical and mobility restrctions after retirement you have to ‘grin and bear it’, so not an effective welfare state for everyone.
Yes, looking after people is so expensive, but surely that is what should be done and the State find the means to be able to afford it, or we could be like America where if you can’t afford help in many forms, especially in health you go without or become bankrupt and die in either situation. The Land of the Free but only if you have the money to be so.
Unfortunately with the political advancements to the far right, the UK is becoming more like America. For you have the Conservative far right and then the ReformUK which is so far right it could become the next British Nationist Party, (BNP) or another BNP.
People say all this is down to Brexit, but it is not, but Brexit was an excuse for all the UK racists to resurface as many had gone underground due to the UK legistalation brought in, but resurfaced as they believed it was their turn again.
We had enough of the BNP or its equivalent in the 50s when the UK invited people from the UK colonies to come to the UK to live here in the UK to help the UK economy. They came without any papers as coming from a UK colony was similar to moving from one UK county to another, but the distance was greater.
Many who came decided to come as they were educationed to believe that the UK was their ‘Mother Country’ but when they came they found that Mother was not always as good as they had been told, in fact in many ways Mother was very bad. But they came through all of this due to their alegiance to the UK and then with changing UK legistlation were caught up in the ‘Windrush scandal‘ and a scandal it was and for some still is.
Some who came then officially applied for British Citizenship when it was free to do so, not the thousands of £s it is today and when granted, guarded the resultant Certificate as though their lives depended on it and as time came to pass it was with the Windrush scandal. Those who didn’t apply for British Citizenship or had lost their certificate where then caught in the Windrush scandal and threatened with deportation, many of whom had been in the UK for around at least 50 years. With the threat of deportation they were not allowed to work or claim benefits so those who were working and had benefits lost them and may be also lost their accommodation.
Some were deported to, perhaps, offically their country of origin, but effectively a country they knew nothing about and knew no one there. The UK government should be ashamed of this but are they for many when the scandal did surface are still waiting for their required compensation and those who died before no compensation. The grief caused by an uncaring UK government is unbelieveable, but it as to be believed as it as and is occurring and that is so wrong, just as the racism of the 50s and to a large extent the racism now.
We tend to believe that this UK government is not racist, but is that correct for some in the government appear to be and more could be coming to government in the 4 July General election.
In America it is their Independence Day where they celebrate the loss of British rule, but for many in the UK it will not be their Independence Day, far from it.
