Untrained and desperate indigenous people, eh? Are you suggesting that we "train" immigrants ahead of "indigenous" people? So who's indigenous where? Me? Thoroughly English chap from Lancashire, born 'n' bred, etc.? Definitely!

Except that my maternal side came here from Ireland in the late 19th century (we were still doing great old Irish family gatherings when I was a little lad). And my dad's side... Never really looked into it, but any bets on "Shaw" having Irish roots...

Your sloppy and unthinking use of " indigenous" marks you out as xenophobic and racist. As for your simplistic view that Farage has got one or two things right, in particular with regarded to immigration from the EU, you seem to be forgetting the massively wider issues that breaking EU laws would trigger. The spike in net immigration is recent. Going from past experience, it will continue to rise and fall. But you think Farage's populist and racist nonsense should hold sway, regardless of irreversible consequences for this country for decades or centuries down the line. You really don't have a clue, do you. Farage and his crew just love suckers like you.
