Immigration is the elephant in the room. It's making all our problems dramatically worse, and yet the media and political class has a complete taboo on talking about it.

@garriejackson9551 Go play with your toys little one - the grown ups will explain economics 101 to you when you're older.

I never heard the unions complaining when the police started arresting people for saying "wrong-think" on Twitter: apparently "freedom" didn't matter much to them then. Of course that's probably because they know the people being arrested are on the right and so they're OK with it.

@garriejackson9551 Pay attention to my choice of words - "Making everything worse", that's not the same as "at the root of". Although mass-immigration, (especially from certain parts of the world) clearly HAS created some problems that we simply didn't have before. Jihadi terrorism being the most obvious example.

@garriejackson9551 Open borders depresses wages, pushes up prices especially in housing: and increases the strain on finite infrastructure and public sector capacity. It's not complicated.

@garriejackson9551 "youre obsest by dingys" I really value the opinion of the totally illiterate. Thanks for admitting you can't address even ONE of the points put to you.

20% more "safety" to be exact.

Unions backed mass-immigration, money-printing, lock-down, deficit spending and wokeness. They have contributed to all the problems they are now demanding the rest of us pay even higher taxes so they don't feel the burden of them.

I had the same thought - the unions aren't punching the government, they're punching US, the very people they demand be taxed even more to pay for these huge pay rises they're demanding.

"All workers should have the right to withdraw their labour" Agreed. And your employer should have the right to terminate your employment if you do so.

@lesliefuller1456 The only right you lose is the right to not do your job and still keep your job. This isn't 1850 - no one is striking over factories that are killing their workers, it's purely about money.

@lesliefuller1456 I agree you have a right to withdraw your labour. Just not to turn up three months later and expect your employer to pretend nothing happened.
