Well if that's the quality of links around here, Iains, I'm rather glad I don't bother with 'em. The item rattles on about the figures for Bude yet appears to give figures for Cornwall. News for you, Iains: Cornwall has half a million people, Bude has ten thousand and is on the very edge of Cornwall, two hours' drive from Land's End if you're lucky. Extrapolating Cornwall numbers to cover Bude is, to say the least, risky. We are not typical Cornwall round here. Incidentally, the piece confirms what I said, that the immigrant population of Bude is very low, which demolishes Keith's non-points. It's buried in there for your delectation (I tend to avoid quoting things that defeat my point, but then again I tend to actually read those things first, apparently unlike your good self 😂)

And, after your abysmal behaviour on this forum yesterday, I note that you still can't help being extremely rude. Just for once, put your point of view, if you have one, instead of trying to insult anyone who you think disagrees with you.

Keith, only half the immigration to this country, up to the referendum, came from the EU. Probably a lot less by now. Only half the population increase in this country can be attributed to net migration, the rest being mostly ascribed to increasing longevity. Considering that we actually desperately need EU immigration in order to keep our public services, etc., afloat, its hard to see why you insist on making this a brexit issue, or an issue at all.

"Why is that relevant Steve?"

Because you have persistently linked Bude's population increase to mass immigration, when in fact it has nothing to do with it. I wonder what that makes you. You've called ME names. I don't think I need to bother.
