Well, a degree in economics and no degree of racism certainly gives me a "point of view".

I await, with baited breath, to hear anyone explain how resticting immigration to a few tens of thousands ISN'T bad for the economy or deeply racist or both.

I wouldn't worry, the racists betray themselves with their own words generally. And the idea that this government is economically competent is easily shown up by statistics, but one obvious theme is that the right don't want to present or consider facts, only their own narrative.

Facts get in the way of their story, as facts clearly show the Tories to have borrowed more than any other government in history, taxed low and middle earners more than Labour and all the while cut services to the bone. Begging the question they won't answer: "where's the money gone?"

Well, today we have:
"Think tank Global Future, whose advisory council includes leaders from business, politics and the arts, says an absolute minimum level of 200,000 a year is essential to sustaining growth, stabilising the working age population and preventing severe staff shortages in a range of sectors, including the NHS."

So that confirms the fact it's bad for the economy. As for deeply racist, isn't there zero reason left to leave the low limit in place other than to give rampant racists what they want?
