The failure of the English to build affordable and social housing allowed greedy landlords to exploit the lack of investment. What construction did take place relied heavily on Polish laborers. The hospitals and nursing homes in England rely heavily on immigrants, not only doctors and nurses but also low wage cleaners, porters, and kitchen staff. England not only benefits from European Union workers but also from the Philippines and Africa. It is difficult to imagine how England will manage if their government halts immigration. Seasonal crops will rot unpicked by casual workers from Romania.
There are more than a million Pakistanis and those of Pakistani origin alone in England. Because England controls its own policy on immigration from outside the EU, there are many Muslims there from various Asian and African countries. English colonial rule opened England to Muslim immigration over past generations. Islamist terrorism in England is home-grown and has nothing to do with your ignorant slur against the European Union. For example, last year's London Bridge killer, Usman Khan, was Pakistani. In 2018 Salih Khater from Sudan was later convicted of two charges of attempted murder after he plowed his Ford Fiesta into a pedestrian and a group of cyclists who had stopped at a red light. In 2017 an improvised explosive device planted by Iraqi-born Ahmed Hassan was detonated on a packed London Tube train during the morning rush hour, injuring 22 people. In 2017 three terrorists, Rachid Redouane, Khuram Butt and Youssef Zaghba drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge, killing eight. They were not from the European Union; Youssef Zaghba was a Moroccan, Khuram Butt was Pakistani-born, and Rachid Redouane was from Barking, England. Etc., etc. That you are attempting to attribute Islamist attacks in England as being the fault of EU membership shows what a nasty piece of work you are making yourself out to be.
"It is difficult to imagine how England will manage if their government halts immigration."
When has the British government ever suggested that it will halt immigration? It has never done so. Your point is absurd.
if you actually knew even a little about the reason behind Brexit you would know that the British want to control their own borders and not be subject to the "freedom of movement" that the EU insists on.
In fact, the British are instituting a points based immigration system based on the Australian model to ensure that their immigrants are of higher quality to many of the riff raff that are entering and living in the UK from the EU.
"There are more than a million Pakistanis and those of Pakistani origin alone in England"
Yes. Unlike the EU immigrants, they have come in after applying and being granted visas.
This is exactly how the British want things done.
Even the left-wing pro Remain Guardian newspaper has had no choice but to admit :
"With Isis now committed to striking in Europe, including the UK, EU citizens certainly pose a potential threat to Britain."
Right wing newspapers have issued even more hard line warnings about the terrorist threat from those entering the UK from the EU, but then you would probably, in your ignorance, say they were just fascists or insult them with similar nonsense.
The massive number of immigrants from so called "non-white" nations that have been welcomed into the UK is proof that your insults to the British of them being xenophobic etc is just utter nonsense. The fact that such immigrants will replace white, European immigrants from the EU show your insults to be exactly what they, pure nonsense motivated by bitterness and anger because the UK is leaving the EU.
It is, in fact, the EU countries like Germany, Italy, Spain etc that have a history of fascism. A prominent EU nation is guilty of the most horrendous genocide ever known to mankind. It was EU nations in the Balkans that recently carried out genocide.
It was the UK and its allies that fought this genocide and helped free Europe from other Europeans that wanted to enslave and massacre other Europeans.
That is a heritage that the British and its allies can be justly proud of.
Unfortunately, many people in the EU cannot be proud of their recent history.
So why not just stop being bitter and angry at the UK and throwing insults at the British just because they democratically elected to leave the EU?
