Received £10.9 billion worth of contracts during covid.
Wow.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Few things did more for the lot of the agricultural worker than the Black Death. Those who survived saw a significant increase in their wages, freedoms and general living standards.

If, as is posited, the rise of AI will result in a wave of jobs ceasing to exist, the absolute last thing we need is millions of unemployed and unemployable people arriving every year.

And as previously said in other threads, the small boats are a distraction. Hundreds of thousands more arrive legally.


The boats are visible. Gone are the days when people used to sneak in through the channel tunnel in the middle of the dark night clinging on to Lorries and trains. Thousands of young men grinning and cheering in the full view of tv cameras coming unchecked across the very waters we spent countless lives defending against Hitler, Napoleon and others stirs something very deep in the national consciousness.

There is nothing but political will and the futile facade of international cooperation stopping us from deploying the Royal Navy, picking them up and taking them back to France. The boats would stop coming almost overnight. If the French don’t like it. Tough.

Would Labour have implemented this scheme if there were no "asylum seekers " , more votes for the red rosette I suppose.

But if we blocked all immigration and replaced it with the needed increased birth rate we’d still be in the same position.

It’s ping to take more than just sorting immigration out.


Actually we would not be so far off replacement birth rate in the short term if we had zero immigration. Our population pyramid (which becomes a problem if wide at the top with a big proportion of older people) still has good width for the working age group towards the middle. In that regard we are better off than many of our European neighbours. If we had zero immigration then the UK population would decrease by 0.4 million from 67.6 million in 2022 to 67.2 million by 2030. Of course, we won't get to zero and the population would stay around the same with about 200,000 to 250,000 net immigrants p.a. Take a look at this calculator, which enables you to vary the main parameters.

It can be seen that an increase in the fertility rate from 1.4 to 2.1 children per woman would enable us to achieve a relatively stable population for longer with zero immigration. Under this scenario the pyramid remains viable with greatest width in the middle and bottom. The interesting thing that the calculator shows is that even if we maintain immigration at the present or a higher level we soon get to the position where the pyramid looks problematic because a smaller proportion of working age people need to support the old and young. You need to look at the pyramid to the right on the screen (labelled the "Population age profile") to see this.
