If the vote to leave the EU has done one thing, it's exposed what a bunch of clowns we have had in charge and have had waiting in the wings to take over. We've been told for years that EU migrants are good for the economy. We've seen enough graphs and charts to last a lifetime. But where is the money? Where is the investment back into communities? Why are sports facilities closing down? Why are libraries closing down? Why are local services being cut? Why are once bustling high streets like ghost towns with more shops empty than occupied? Why does it take 2 weeks to get a doctors appointment? Why can't parents get their kids into their local schools? Why is there a healthcare crisis?

If there is mounting pressure on public services, and these public services are getting cut year on year, is it a good idea to keep adding to the number of people requiring these public services?


Let me get this right, many people voted to leave the E.U. simply to give the government of the day a bloody nose?

Nothing is going to change anytime soon, the clowns you refer to are still in power, the opposition clowns are still in opposition. The public services will continue to be squeezed & migrants will still flood into the country.

This Tory government can't even manage a simple budget, how the hell are they going to negotiate a decent exit settlement?

You don't really think the 17 million plus were UKIP voting xenophobic racists do you? Bless.

You won't believe this but some people couldn't give a monkeys whether we are in or out of the EU. They'll adapt just like they have done for the last 8 years.

Had we have all voted to remain, would the old double act of Cameron and Osborne been lauded as geniuses? Would it have been business as usual, I'm alright Jack, no questions asked?

Where did I say all? I thought I'd said "many" err, the same as you - Bless.

Of course it would, but what you fail to grasp is that, it still is.

The country is heading for another long period of Tory rule, only this time there will be no one around to stop them.

So well done all those who profess to being socialists & voted to leave - great move.

It's revealed the sorry state of UK politics all round. The knife was stuck into the Conservatives, unfortunately there's no one capable of twisting it. Corbyn just rants on in his echo chamber, the Lib Dems are as useless as ever and nobody else can be taken seriously enough to do anything but get out of bed on a morning.

Indeed - that was very much an act of kicking oneself in the rubbish wasn't it?

On the issue of public services - it's alarming to see how effectively the Tories and UKIP have convinced people to believe that it's due to immigration; when as any fule kno, it's due to years of swingeing, ideological cuts, rebranded as 'austerity.' Schools, the NHS, social care, libraries, recreation - all have had their budgets slashed to bits by the Tories, and great swathes of the increasingly gullible public have been taken in by the alternative facts that have been used to justify those cuts - with a lot of help from the media oligarchs who own 50% of the British press; and the BBC, who are now so scared/dominated by Tory flunkies, that they shamelessly avoid reporting things that are critical of the government, whilst either ignoring Corbyn altogether, or rubbishing him at every opportunity.

UK politics has reached rock bottom - and just at that point, we're going through one of the most economically and socially impactful political processes in a generation. Scary - and depressing.

What was it the Dadaists said? For something new to be created, first everything must be destroyed.

Summed up perfectly :-(

Dally wrote:We import cheap labour who, on average, don't pay anywhere near enough taxes to cover their share of public services costs, hence the decline in the latter despite the ever increasing tax burden (all taxes but income tax). It's a vicious circle. The sooner we decide we can do without coffee shops and the like the sooner economic sanity will return. Looks like the business rates hike could be a trigger for economic disaster - thousands of shops, pubs, restaurants and SME could close (some estimates at 1 in 5!) and with it a potential loss of employment on an epic scale.


Spoken like a true daily mail reader! Immigrants who are willing to come over here and do the jobs that English white caucasions won't do are more of a tax burden than the English white caucasions who don't want to work and would rather claim benefits.

That's gold, even for you Dally. The gift that keeps on giving.

Do you accept that the ?? 3 million plus EU migrants have contributed to the significant increase in the population and this is a contributing note contributing factor to stretched NHS, schools, doctors etc
