    You seem to be confused. 1.2 million refers to legal migration. Legal migrants can't claim benefits. Legal migrants, unless on a Teir 2 visa and working in Healthcare, pay £1065 a year to the NHS as a requirement for their visa. That's on top of tax and NI. Therefore, they are all productive. They are earning, spending and not costing the government a penny.

    They open up for me. Check your firewall. The independence poll says " how people would vote". That sounds Scots only.
  3. youreavinalaff
    Exactly my point. You are limiting speed of travel. How do you know the max?
  4. youreavinalaff
    You are assuming lifespans and technology are the same every where as they are here.
  5. youreavinalaff
    It's not geographical.

    Neck and neck, you say. https://www.holyrood.com/news/view,labour-takes-strong-lead-over-snp-in-latest-poll https://www.thenational.scot/news/24332727.labour-record-largest-lead-snp-since-2014-new-poll/

    It's nice to see a good selection of polls to get the full picture. This one has independence lagging for some years. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1170409/scottish-independence/

    That would be an opinion. One that no one else seems to share.

    I've never met Jack so that's an inane comment.
  10. youreavinalaff
    I already have proved my point. You tried, but failed, to disprove it.
  11. youreavinalaff
    I can deal with it. I've never said I can't. You can't prove my point incorrect. You just assume.
  12. youreavinalaff
    So you agree some UK citizens don't want to work. Excellent.
  13. youreavinalaff
    Please show me a link to the individual reports of the whole 2.6 million. Just to prove all of them are genuinely sick and waiting treatment.

    Nearly half of the one million are students. 10% are on family visas. Only about 300000 are work visas. Those applying for a work visa need a job offer before applying. Jobs that have been advertised for anyone to apply. Immigration does not cause unemployment. Migrants are generally doing jobs UK nationals don't want to do. Health and social care being the biggest example.

    I don't recall speaking about my own circumstances. It's interesting that you know every one on sickness benefit is actually sick and can't work. Especially as I know people who are swinging the lead.
  16. youreavinalaff
    Yes. That "long term sick" excuse. It used to be called "bone idle".
  17. youreavinalaff
    Unskilled immigrants won't get visas.
  18. youreavinalaff
    The problem is many of those unemployed don't want to be workers. Benefits are good and sofas are comfortable.
  19. youreavinalaff
    You've not read the whole article, have you? Had you done so, you wouldn't have posted it. It contradicts your agenda.

    Inheritance tax is down. Capital gains tax is down. Stamp duty on properties is down. Council tax rose below inflation. National Insurance is down.
  21. youreavinalaff
    It is when the points you make have been happening since before the last change of government.
  22. youreavinalaff
    They are not the highest. When I started work the base rate was 25%. It's now 20%.
  23. youreavinalaff
    With no tax rises. Pull the other one.
  24. youreavinalaff
    It should only be referred to as "Union Jack" when flown from a navy ship. That's the historical correctness. Many people nowadays incorrectly refer to it as "Union Jack" in every scenario.
  25. youreavinalaff
    I depends where you are. I can't answer for everywhere. In the village where we live there are 2. As a percentage of those who still tend their own land, many now rent it out to the big companies with the large machinery, it's about 20%. As a whole, including those I mentioned above, it's nearer 5%.
