Definitely not a denier of climate change. Denying climate change is similar to denying the weather changes. Whats driving the change is open to debate

Careful, your assertion regarding Indian and Chinese students is incorrect. They have a study visa which, in certain circumstances, can be extended by two years after graduation.

You give the impression that staying beyond their studies is a given. No it is not.

My recollection is that 97% of students from overseas return after their studies. That may go down as the U.K. looks to fill certain types of employment.

And and for other contributors who blindly agreed with Careful’s premise, it says everything.

Can't count all of the once great companies that no longer exist.
Creative destruction the capitalists call it.

Maybe we are going to gradually become poorer.
It is difficult to believe that our per capita wealth can keep so far ahead of our equivalent in the poorer parts of the World.

Levelling up is bound to occur.
Everyone can make cars, computers, ships, steel, well everything.
India, China, Russia are nuclear powers who can put people into space.

How can se stay relatively rich when there are 7 billion well educated hard working competitors out there who will work just as well as us for a fraction of or pay?

Okay, US stock markets being 3 to 4 times millennium levels and FTSE being 10% lower is not being poorer?

And that's without taking into account the recent destruction of Sterling.

Melrose, an investment firm that specialises in buying up and reselling manufacturing businesses, acquired GKN after a hostile takeover in 2018. Our union, Unite, was critical of the takeover at the time, arguing that the company’s track record of seeking to restructure companies that it acquires and sell them on after three to five years meant that it was not a suitable long-term owner.

Three years later, our factory is being closed. You can trace GKN’s origin back as far as 1759 and our own site on Chester Road has seen generations of the same family work here since it opened in 1956. Now we’re looking down the barrel of hundreds of skilled manufacturing workers being added to the local unemployment statistics.

Five of the 10 constituencies with the highest jobless rates anywhere in the UK can be found in Birmingham. Erdington, the home of our plant, has an unemployment rate of 12.5%, significantly higher than the national average.

Birmingham has been here before. When the massive Rover factory at Longbridge closed in 2005 the impact was felt for years. Unite’s predecessor union, Amicus, supported research which showed that despite 90% of the workers finding alternative employment, 66% were financially worse off, average incomes fell by more than £6,000 and 25% reported being in debt or being reliant on savings to get by.




Global Britain for you folks.

No gas reserves? - 40 years of the EU have left us short of a lot of things. We were, effectively, paying them to shut us down.

Never forget that the EU paid for a new Ford Transit factory in Turkey, with our taxes, and allowed Ford to close down the Ford Swaythling factory - the home of the Transit van - and move all production to Turkey.

The people of Southampton rightly regard the EU as little more than vermin.

Well Brexit stopped freedom of movement.

But is anyone, even the most aggressive Brexiteer not worried about the Trojan horse of massive immigration by the back door?

Many UK universities are charging double fees and making a mint out of overseas students.
Many university towns property market and local economies are reliant on these students.

They come in droves from China and India. And as Boris Johnson discovered when he tried to do a trade deal with India, the rights of students who study here are that they can stay here and live here.

What we are selling here is not a university education, but UK citizenship.
in time, they send for their families, human rights and all of that,
UK citizenship for many for the price an education.

The education offered according to some is often second rate.

But it is still the bargain of the century, to get effective UK citizenship for family without risking the Channel in a rubber dinghy.

Problems ahead, we have stopped freedom of movement with the EU. with mass immigration from elsewhere.
The unintended consequences of Brexit nd Boris.

What is non competence?
Who is likely to be the most incompetent?

Well, any Govt that fails to manage the basics may be seen as incompetent.
given that windmills are just a Cervantes moment - y does this mish mash of incompetence pervade the whole of CS govt and the WOS Quangos.
A while back some bright spark devised the JIT idea to free up BS cash.
Bcos it has been around no sensible person questioned - non supply.
Of course, no one is guilty - no one even got to THINK - more interested in ESG Green diversity to actually consider interruption to supply EP.
Doris is worse than Bliar - spouts about everything - without knowledge.

No gas reserves - sack the man. No concept of windmills - sack the man.
And the fool doris is happy to destroy this country - he studied arts but has no understanding of science

Sadly the inherited decades of CS - now working from home. Recovery - ?
