>>Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, there are a lot of people in the UK that feel that ‘the foreigners took their jobs’, or that refugees are the kind of people that there simply isn’t room for. It’s a tough problem, but I highly doubt that this problem is large enough to isolate a country over from its main trade partners. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whether immigration has a net positive effect on employment, GDP or pretty much any other measure of wellbeing... The reality is simple - there aren't enough jobs in the traditional industries for poorly educated people (especially in the North & Wales) to continue 'as normal' on a liveable wage. This has been the case for at least 30 years. All solutions cost money - whether it is retraining, increasing the minimum wage/benefits or investing in forward thinking industry in affected areas, Politicians and the wealthier middle & upper classes decided it would be 'easier' as well as cheaper to perpetuate the lie that immigrants are to blame. And after a few decades of continued job loss and struggles, there are now enough people who are affected and believe that immigrants are to blame, that our lies have finally caught up with us. So it doesn't matter whether immigration is good or not - we've dug ourselves into a hole, and I can't see any politicians admitting the truth anytime soon.
