half of Poles have returned home from Britain 'not true', says Polish expert

gnasher-are you a Jew?

Brilliant. It's such a timesaver when people here out themselves as headcases.

Those places have a controlled immigration policy. We don't.
They have responsible policies based upon the skills their economy needs and what their economy and society can afford. We don't.
Irelands immigration is left to random chance. Thats a irresponsible policy. This is the insanity I would like to highlight.

I don't agree with you- the majority of our immigration comes from the EU, the rest is controllable by the issuing of visas- but at least your argument is reasonable.

It is, however, a completely different point to that being made by Son_of_the_Republic (and others before him), who believes that mass immigration, multiculturalism and multi-ethnicity are INHERENTLY damaging to a society's prospect.

Despite the fact that a majority of the best places to live in the world have had high levels of immigration for generations without their extremely high quality of life and human development being compromised, he is convinced that it's only a matter of time before they collapse into misery and ethnic turmoil.

He can admit that "these "successful" places haven't yet fallen into the ocean" but just KNOWS that it's going to happen. "It's a process and it is happening,slowly but measurably." What led him to that certain belief is entirely unclear. The sky is falling, the Rapture's coming and the end is nigh.

I was referring to EU immigration also. Its' where the majority of our immigrants came from. How can you not agree with me that we do not have control over it ? We don't or more unlikely have I missed something perhaps and we do ?

Do you honestly believe this to be the case gnasher?

[Nodin]

I disagree. The man asked you a simple question.

Its simple, and entirely irrelevant to the thread. Similarily 'are you a catholic/protestant/muslim/one legged lesbian'.

Is immigration good for the economy?


Is immigration good for the economy? - Investors Chronicle

The economic case for immigration cannot possibly justify the massive impact that this would have on our society. Certainly, immigration brings new skills, ideas and closer links with foreign countries. These things are hard to measure. The only major report on the economic impact of immigration in the UK was that published by the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee in April 2008. They concluded that "Although possible in theory, we found no systematic empirical evidence to suggest that net immigration creates significant dynamic effects for the resident population of the UK….. and it is possible that there are also negative dynamic and wider welfare effects". The Committee included two former Chancellors and a former Governor of the Bank of England as well as representatives of all three parties and a number of eminent cross-benchers. Their report was unanimous.

As for what can be measured, there is a broad consensus that the fiscal impact is broadly neutral. In terms of GDP, however, the House of Lords Committee was crystal clear. They concluded that "We have found no evidence for the argument, made by the government, business and many others that net immigration - immigration minus emigration - generates significant economic benefits for the existing UK population".

The result is that, at the end of the process, we are no richer - just more crowded.

PRIMARY principals in Dublin's fastest growing suburbs have warned of a "white flight" of pupils from their schools in a report outlining the stark challenges facing the education system in the new Ireland.

Schools in Dublin 15 have borne the brunt of the concentration of newcomer families in the area, and principals say urgent action is needed to avoid ghettoisation and social fragmentation, not only there but elsewhere.

The report was carried out by the principals themselves

As one reader effected by this suggested - in certain parts of London "immigration is now transforming into colonisation".

Really no point in discussing any of this. We've never learned from anyone else's mistakes and we sure as hell won't learn from this. If the Brits did it in 2 generations we'll do it in less than one In fact aren't there some suburbs like Tyrrelstown (?) and Adamstown approaching level pegging in just 5 years?

Indeed..and Jay,from London says:

It's not rocket science, is it? White Brits are fleeing the cities, myself included.

- Jay, London, UK

It's a trend that will only grow,there and here.
