The country needs more people. Locals are not having enough babies to cover that, and the world is full of fantastic other people who want to come here, and help make the place great. The only reason to turn them away is a toxic mix of short-sightedness and racism.

No it doesn’t. It certainly didn’t need 1.2 million people last year. The only reason to support this insanity is a desire to increase homelessness and impoverish the middle and lower classes.

  We do need more people to work in certain industries. Not necessarily more people in general, but there are absolutely industries that relied on foreign nationals to help them meet staffing levels and after Brexit they aren’t meeting those. This is partly due to UK citizens feeling they are ‘too good’ to do certain types of work, though more and more are now taking these roles as there are no other options as our country becomes poorer.
