Thread after thread is started with the assertion that immigrants are arriving on our shores and will as a result almost certainly threaten our culture, values and way of life.

Obvious nonsense. But why?

Is it that the haters have to hate?.

Immigration will not stop and is almost certainly set to increase.
Given our failure to ensure adequate housing for our populztion, this is causi g real problems, as well as educational isxues etc. But on the plus side, we need the workers, especially as the demographics show that the inverse triangle is getting larger, year on year.

I am arguing thst immigration, is contributing to the housing crises, but the workers are needed in an aging society.

So stop the moral panic, and treat the issue with a level.of proper debate and levelheadedness it needs.

Sorry about crap post , im using my little phone.

I think we have had an absolute prime example of moral panic this last week or two, and it has resulted in a young man taking his life.

Yes and very sad too.
