The migration of EU citizens has reached high levels in the past year:
According to the ONS there are now more than 2m EU nationals working in the UK (only 407,000 UK nationals work in EU).
The ONS data is extremely suspect because the Data from the Dept of Work and Pensions shows a huge rate of issuing National Insurance Numbers to EU citizens:
Why is this happening? The UK uses the Pound and has different economic policies from the Euro Area which uses the Euro. EU companies are investing huge amounts in the UK. In a normal economy the investment would raise wage rates as unemployment falls but in the EU it sucks in vast numbers of workers, largely from Eastern Europe. These workers are often overqualified and can easily displace UK working class workers from jobs. The EU Companies send their profits back to the EU and so do not benefit the UK economy in the same way as normal UK investment.
The net result of this crazy economics is that the Eurozone gets the benefit of investment in the UK and the UK gets the disadvantages. Any claims that EU membership benefits the UK economy are false. Much of the GDP growth in the UK benefits the Eurozone. This is obvious if the UK Balance of Payments figures are considered:
These show a huge, £100bn pa leak of UK funds to the EU.
The huge influx of migrants into the UK drives up rentals which drives up house prices. It is the reason you cannot afford a home.
The population is already way above the ability of the UK land to feed it. Any serious adverse event such as war, a large increase in food prices or climate change could have drastic consequences. Those who see paving over the beautiful English countryside as the "solution" to the problem should be clear about what they believe is the maximum population that the UK can tolerate. Do they really want to overpopulate our country so much that migrants stop coming because it has become impossible to live here?
In truth, those who support continued migration from the EU are largely paid by large corporations that benefit from cheap labour and the easy return of profits to the EU, the Construction Industry and those who gain in some way from this dreadful state of affairs.
