Denmark here, I wonder where the UK £22 billion budget deficit this year is coming from ?, when "tiny" Denmark has seen an increasing government budget surplus in the range of around $9bn to $18 billion a year since 2021, despite a huge increase in military spending's and the several $ billions worth of military aid for Ukraine. The main difference between Denmark and the UK I can see, is how Denmark has approached the issue about illegal immigrants and refugees the past decade. The leadership in the UK, right or left and elsewhere have so far been pretending that there is little they can do about refugees and immigrants, as if they are fighting a hopeless battle against the EU and the rest of the world, and like it's a "law of nature", but if we look closer at Denmark, that totally changed it's stand on this issue due to the Danish Muhammed cartoon riots of 2006 in the Middle East, with burning Danish flags and embassies and following terror attacks, that was the eye-opener that changed everything in Danish politics. Today, there are only 14 asylum camps in total in Denmark, while the number was as high as 98 in 2015 less than 10 years ago. Right now, there are around 2,600 people accommodated in the Danish asylum camps, out of these 450 are staying in one of the deportation camps, and 700 are Ukrainians of which some are passing quickly through the system. These numbers are surprisingly low when considering that 25,000 arrive every month in neighboring Germany these days, not to forget what is going on in France and the UK, and despite the external pressure from neighboring countries and the UN and EU. Denmark have also not accepted their absolute UN "mandatory" share of minimum of 500 resettlement refugees per year since 2015. So during the last 7 years, only 235 quota refugees have arrived in total, coming from refugee camps in Rwanda and only 1 resettlement refugee was granted a permit in 2023.

In the 1990s (pre Blair) life and particularly housing was affordable and the country felt generally safe. We've had 30 years of high immigration and country has gone to the dogs with housing completely unaffordable with rising crime. It doesn't take a genius to work out the mass immigration experiement has been a disaster unless you like suppressed wages and living in a dump. We should have stuck to high skilled immigration and automated low skilled jobs which would have increased productivity and wages. Instead we have the opposite and the argument 'that British won't do certain jobs' is nonsense, wages are simply too low, hence employers call for more slave immigrant labour.

@@niriop in Western nations (not sure about worldwide), crime figures went down, nothing to do with migration. There are theories about the reduction of lead in petrol and therefore in the environment and that has translated into less crime. It is only a theory, I am not aware that anyone knows the reason. However, sticking to the UK, certain crimes have gone up, including se_xual assault, knife crime, shoplifting etc caused in a large part due to migration. Note also that a lot of crime is no longer reported because a) police won't deal with it, and b) because the justice system is so slow and tortuous, and c) there is a lot of gang on gang and sectarian violence (they for obvious reasons do not self report). Automation is good because it increases productivity, which is critical to the economy. This is another reason why we don't need mass migration. With increased productivity there will be fewer jobs. If we don't invest in automation, AI, etc other countries will, and the UK will fall even further behind.

Anybody that thinks crime figures reflect the real crime level these days is living in cloud cuckoo land. The country going to the dogs has also coincided with offshoring most of our manufacturing, everyone going for the quick buck rather than a longer view, huge lack of investment by governments, increased expenditure on consultants and legal representation (ambulance chasing, and it being less and less obvious what is legal or not as time goes on), reduced innovation, reduced education standards, weaker police (who put keeping the peace as a higher priority than the law), irresponsible and divisive media, a lack of role models and inspiration, politicians not held to account, higher inequality (though poverty has decreased), and now a trashing of our history and wokism. Oh, yeah, and immigration, both legal and illegal has increased. However, I think it does take a genius to work out the exact interconnections of all these things (and more).

There is so much missed out in this analysis around the effects of this migration on the indigenous population. Claiming the indigenous population not wanting to take low skill low paid work. That is factually not true. We had this with farm workers on low pay from countries like Romania where the average wages were much lower. Low paid UK job were the equivalent of 5 time the average pay for their own origins. These workers were brought over in gangs contracted to Farmers who offered low wages and accommodation. The accommodation and food costs were deducted from their wages and the balance paid to those workers. Most of that balance was taken back to their own country where when they return every few months they were among the very wealthy in places like Romania because those earnings were much higher than they could ever have earned at home. These placements were arranged by gang leaders who arranged everything including transport and jobs accommodation. Now the effect on those indigenous UK locals was dramatic. I know of many locals wanting those minimum wage jobs who applied to Farmers were turned down. The reason was simple. A local would not require accommodation nor food so the cost to that Farmer was a lot higher and the farmer would have needed to make NI contributions for them so they were refused a job. A Romanian worker would be on minimum wage and deducted from that would be food and accommodation. The accommodation for farmers would have been old Caravans set on their land for which they would receive a rent and cost of food. The Migrants would pay no Income tax since they would stay for less than the 12 months hence would never exceed the tax thresholds. These people were a net drain on the economy as well as a drain by keeping locals that could have worked and were prepared to work on benefits so a bigger drain on the state. There are a number of other anomalies in the calculations but this is perhaps the easiest example and the rest of the issues revolve around the more immigrants the more accommodation needed and then the more services and so on. Then wages being held low for the same reasons and local not being able to work in certain areas and both needing to work in a relationship due to low wages so not as many locals have children.

High rents and cost of housing is crippling everyone in work and even those who are retired. Mass immigration also makes jobs insecure and low paid this means people stop spending. Then the loss of our cultural heritage and history just to push the mass immigration agenda is also divisive.. Add in the rise in crime especially in big cities results in further job losses and a loss of trust in society. We now have a very divided country and the cost of that will ultimately be severe. Blaming pensioners who have paid into the system and still are paying taxes on everything is a distraction at best. The high rents low paid work and expensive mortgages means people cannot possibly have children. I would say that turning our country into a 3rd world slave system is a huge loss.

Well, everyone voted to make the economy bigger, isn't it? If you want bigger economy, you have to have more workers. More workers, bigger demand for services, including roads, housing and health care. The problem is that Tories(and previously Labour as well) were happy to pop up the pie(bigger economy), but didn't want to invest in the infrastructure, housing, or services. This resulted in catastrophic failure in providing services, properties got smaller, more crowded. Yet the solution could be so simple back in 00's - build an economy in deprived areas, focus investment on areas that are not well off and bring business there. It would spread out the development, not just to the South, but north as well. People would be much better served, would have more space - the economy would be bigger and well balanced. But right now, we have London, South and the rest. Immigration is needed as it needs to service the existing business - or would you want the business to leave UK for better country? The population back in 00's simply wasn't there to manage the economy - so immigration was the only option. Just not wanted to invest in the 'foreigners'.

Let’s compare crime rates in the UK with those in Poland. I’m giving the crime index measured as crimes per 1,000 residents (so the higher the number the more crime), and safety index scores from 0-100, where a low figure means people feel very unsafe and a high score means they feel very safe. UK crime index 48. Poland crime index 25. In other words, crime in the UK is running at maybe twice the level of Poland. Figures for individual cities suggest that the disparity is actually far greater. Polish Safety Perceptions: People in Poland feel safer walking alone both during the day (83.35) and at night (61.70) compared to the UK, where safety is rated at 67.49 for daytime and 41.93 for nighttime. Specific Crime Concerns: The UK has more issues with drug-related crimes, with a score of 63.61 compared to Poland’s 28.29. Property crimes and vandalism are also much higher in the UK. Violent crime, such as assault and armed robbery, is more prevalent in the UK, with a score of 46.08, compared to a very low 18.18 in Poland. Individual cities: Warsaw, the Polish capital, has a crime index of 25.3 and a safety index of 74.7. The city is considered very safe for walking alone during the day (88.8) and fairly safe at night (67.9). Most types of violent crime, such as assault and robbery, are rare. I couldn’t find figures for Poland’s second and third cities Kraków and Łódź, but the impression is, they’re even lower than Warsaw. Here are the crime index figures for some English cities, compared to Warsaw: Warsaw: 25.3. Birmingham: 128.9. Bradford: 132.4 Leeds: 133.3. Nottingham: 134.1. Liverpool: 136.7. Manchester: 172.6.

My only real objection would be to the idea that the rise in house prices is somehow caused by immigration. Since 2010, the population of Hungary has decreased by ~5%, yet the price of housing has rapidly increased as it has across the Western world. Even in Romania which has lost more than *20%* of its population since 1990, and still is losing, the price of housing has increased at around 60% in the past ten years. All of this suggests immigration or population increase of any kind is not much of a factor in house prices. My suggestion? Extreme asset inflation. In the UK itself, for the first two decades of this century, the supply of housing always outpaced demand by around 5-10%, during which we had the housing boom. And yet, the price continued to increase radically.

No dependants to accompany working adults on low skilled visas. Automation of as many jobs as possible, which is happening already. Encouragement of highly skilled Western[or akin] workers with leave to remain after an extended people (8-10 years). Much stronger efforts to integrate and assimilate to make sure the newcomers show respect the native people and culture. Other types... Generous support for Refugees to work and study with an agreement with each (even a contract) that if they do not work (with no good reason) or commit a crime in the country they are in it they have agreed to be deported to their origin no matter the state of that origin country. Refugees should also not receive permanent settlement as they will be required by their origin nation later to rebuilt and avoid it becoming a basket case.

Not all refugees are fleeing war, some are fleeing persecution and may not ever be able to return. So, yes, we do need route for permanent settlement (as most developed democracies provide). Re automation (my area of expertise), from this point onwards (2020s) most jobs that will be impact by digitisation will be professional middle class, middle income jobs. Most lower paid manual labor work will remain with humans as it'll be cheaper. The biggest savings for businesses are in digitising the higher pay jobs (excluding executive tier).

@@OneAndOnlyMe They "may" not ever be able to return. That's true, and should be dealt with on a case by case basis. My point is that permanent settlement should be extremely narrow and a privilege only a few will get. I would expect that if I were a refugee. Jobs may well be "cheaper" however if the labour supply isn't there they will have to be automated. As most countries are currently experiencing fertility rates below replacement (and 3/4 by 2050) it is a reality that we /have/ to deal with. I believe, and there is evidence to support this, that an oversupply of low wage labour has contributed to the UK's lack of productivity. It started to reduce around 2004/5 (after EU enlargement) and hasn't grown much since.

Also you forget health of the population by overcrowding and consentatation of people in a limited area. The big fault in your argument is lack of mobility of UK workforce and over reliance of supports for housing . A mobile workforce is a an effective workforce A 10 percent drop in population would cause a devaluation of property values by around 18/28 percent depending on location. The problem is people are not willing to take a price cut yet want wages to remain low . Age incredibly bad health of people 40 + locals and migrants are another equation Know one wants to factor in . 40 years of excessive debt brought on by a Ponzi scheme Housing market doesn't hold well for the future Pension it will be food stamps or credits Unless Europe rearms this throws in a lifeline but also has it issues.

This is nonsense. UK doesn't have overcrowding. Economic migrants who are only doing it for on average 4 years are not interested in buying or renting their own home, instead they club together to share a home, thus improving their ability to save more money. In contrast most native workers are reluctant to live to five people sharing a house. The housing market will be fine. There will always be a demand for more housing. Home prices rise and then drop, but then rise again. They never drop more than they rise of the longer term, because inflation is a real thing. The government's debt is irrelevant. That debt is just our money in circulation. It's created by our central bank.
