Are People Concerned About The Future Complexion Of The Uk Population...

... worried that net migration from outside the EU is so high?

We hear talk about regaining control of our borders. As far as areas outside the EU are concerned dont we already have control?

we'll need them to person the NHS when all the EU doctors and nurses go elsewhere for work (and the British ones go to Australia)..

Complexion may well be a debatable issue, but we have the bigger issue of numbers first. Inside/outside EU, tackle that when we've achieved zero net migration over the medium to long timescale.

[Old_Geezer]

Yes we have control over non-EU at present, but it's a secondary issue. Granted one that needs checking.

Yes I am and it will get very much worse. It has been allowed to run out of control. The norm for the indigenous population is under two children per family. About 1.7 I believe. The migrants are producing much larger families than that and it esalates.

No I don't care what 'complexion' a person or society has tbh I only care that they are meaningful and decent human beings. If you go to your local A&E you will be very glad of all the darker complexions saving your life.

I remember watching a programme about migration within the UK. Apparently, the classic English Rose complexion was being wiped out by dastardly people from the South West (me) with our dark hair. It's nothing new.

The original post was aimed at the many leave voters who were motivated by racist feelings.
It struck me as ironic that they voted to exclude mostly white Europeans while borders are porous when it comes to Asians.

[emmie]

yes

[Old_Geezer]

It can't remain so. We're already overcrowded. At some point all industries will have to accept their share of training costs and accept the market re wages and conditions required to attract staff. Presently they're addicted to short-circuiting the work market and nicking skills from countries that could use them. Getting government to act responsibly is the next task after stopping free movement of EU citizens into our nation.

[emmie]

many EU citizens are leaving and more people from Asia are coming, that doesn't seem right somehow.

Nope I am not in the slightest bit worried. I have worked with children and their parents from all over the world and have loved the way the knowledge of different cultures have enriched my life. As with most Britons I am British by birth but have grandparents from abroad who have taught me loads. The more the merrier IMO.
