According to the same LSE report, 'elementary occupations' accounts for only a very small proportion (16.2%) of immigrant labour though.

That's compared to a total of nearly 55% in the professions, managerial or otherwise technically-skilled roles.

The vote was just for control and a common sense approach not an end to immigration. If there was a referendum for companies to pay proper tax it would get a lot more than 52% but realistically it's not gonna happen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it not going to happen?

It certainly isn't going to happen if people vote for political parties who are disinterested in the redistribution of wealth. Is that what you're thinking?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll vote for Labour if Corbyn's leader, I'm not sure he would have the power to do a lot of what he wanted.

I said a good number, I'm not going to have an exact figure when no one has a clue how many immigrants are here am I

BlueBells has already backed this up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought as much. Keep lapping up the Farage/UKIP rhetoric and passing it off as fact.

However if you do some research there is information on this;

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/datablog/2015/nov/10/eu-migrants-on-benefits-separating-the-statistics-from-the-spin

http://ukandeu.ac.uk/fact-figures/how-many-eu-migrants-claim-benefits-in-the-uk/

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/welfare/2016/06/how-much-do-benefits-paid-eu-migrants-cost-britain

With this being an example of the information gleaned

"Immigrants were also reported to have contributed more than £3bn in income taxes, while claiming roughly £0.5bn in benefits"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, but bluebells has seen loads of scrounging immis about, hasn't he?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Bluebells said the same thing a while back on another thread. He was asked how he identifies immigrants in the job centre, funny sounding name, different colour skin?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe it's when the penny drops that they haven't been living at a UK address for that long?

I don't class it as a sweeping statement.

Maybe this is one of your problems.

Just being honest, I've lived in a very heavily popoulated city for a long time and witnessed the devestation that taking a heavy number of poor and state dependant immigrants has caused, you may not like to hear that but it's true and that's one of many cities and towns across Britain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think, to a degree, those who want to see the positive impacts of immigration will see them, and those who want to see the negative impacts will see them, wherever they live.

I've lived in Manc and Leeds (on the border of Bradford) for the last 35 years, and have seen overwhelmingly positive contributions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ah well you can report accurately on the 55% due to the professions.

The reality is no one has a clue about all the illegal immigrant labour that is going on in shady factories and other underground businesses in Britain, this is the problem with engineered statistics.

Anyone on a low paid job can still claim benefits, plus child benefit, access to NHS, schools etc. but pays no tax, those figures can't be right.

I live in the same city. Liverpool isn't that bad for it. Couldn't tell you how many sign on, as I've no need to go the jobcentre. I notice quite a few working in the hospitality industry when I'm out and about and fair play to them. At least they're contributing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

again your anger and prejudice towards me is resulting in you failing to see the point I am making, If you are state dependant you are not paying in you are taking out which adds to the lack of money available to spend on local services but you now have even more people to provide them for, so no it isn't about money.

I see some positive impacts and I want to see more but I do want to be able to control the numbers at the same time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and your claim about immigrants being state dependant has been proven wrong. They contribute far more than they take out meaning there is more money to spend on public services.

You missed a huge chunk of my comment, well done

Did I claim immigrants in Liverpool are contributing or a drain on the city? Nope.

It's just getting silly now any time anyone suggests a sensible immigration policy, the tolerant are very tolerant until someone thinks differently to them then they are very intolerant, hey feet?
