THe only way to stop people wanting toleave their own country is to make it more attractive to stay. How many time have you read on this forum how hard it is to be apart from a loved one? That's how many people from overseas feel in this country and their families at home.

Think about the hypocrosy of the free movement of capital (and where that has landed us) and the controls on the movement of labour. The rich can move their capital to take advantage of cheaper labour/raw materials/fewer employment rights for workers but labour can't move to take advantage of better conditions and pay.

THe ruling class want us to be divided so they can keep us down. The sooner we all realise that the better for all of us.

Well put.

But people have shyed away from the issue and its actually affecting everyone.

Like you say many people who come here to work experince the UK and then bugger off home or somewhere else.
But due to overcomplex rules and what not many of these people fall into poverty traps and end u stuck here in basically ghettos.

Those with no support netork to fall back on will suffer in this recession. Which is why people as well as for company and things in common stick with their own.
But for those with no access to a good support network and little knowledge of the services/rights avaiable to them fall in to poverty on the streets.

In London i know for sure many of the Rough sleepers i see with my own eyes are recent arrivals to the country. As well as i might say a scary amount of older Brits

To disscuss the issue would help all i feel. Not allowing the subject to be dicussed allows those with harmful agendas to make themselves be heard.
