If UK media won’t call out Nigel Farage’s latest bull**** on migration let’s do it ourselves

Mass migration is making us poorer, making us poorer, making us economically poorer, making us culturally poorer, and it has become a disaster. Well, let's take a look at that. Mass migration is making us poorer. Research from University College London and the Migration Observatory has shown that migrants, particularly those of prime working age, contribute more in taxes than they consume in public services or benefits. And according to the Office for Budget Responsibility, Higher net migration actually helps reduce short to medium term public sector deficits and debt by expanding the working age tax base. If that's not enough for you, data from HM Revenue and Customs indicates that recent migrant workers often exhibit high labour force participation rates and median earnings that match or slightly exceed those of UK born workers. In fact, new analysis suggests skilled migrants settling in Britain are expected to contribute billions more to the public finances than they cost over their lifetimes. The Institute for Public Policy Research has said skilled migrants and their adult dependents due to settle in the UK under current rules were expected to make a net lifetime contribution of about £115 billion through the taxes they paid. And fact-checking organisations, economists and official data sources show that the overwhelming majority of working age migrants in the UK are in fact employed. And let's not forget that without migrant workers our public services would not be able to function. That's especially true when it comes to health and social care, where more than a fifth of the NHS workforce in England is made up of migrant staff. And as for this, making us culturally poorer, historically Britain's culture has never been static and Farage knows that. It has continuously evolved and been enriched through centuries of incoming migration which has influenced music, language and daily life. Migration introduces new traditions, foods, arts and perspectives that broaden the national identity and make British society more dynamic and multicultural. And it has become a disaster. Please don't let them sow the seeds of division in this country. It's all they have and you know in your hearts it's wrong. As a country we're so much better than that.
