I am prepared to accept your figures Allan, but that does not address the large number of young people born here who have no chance of a decent life or decent wages.

Unregulated immigration has helped drive down wages, but profits are still bring made, through zero hours contracts and short time working.
Everything is geared to making money, they say we cant afford to re train or apprentice our people.
As I mentioned already a Rumanian worker can exist in the most basic living accommodation on below the minimum wage, and with the top ups available for children in Rumania can afford to send home enough to build a new home in a few years.

This would be absolutely impossible for a young UK couple.
We are being conned, and I hope to see the SNP get out of the EU soon after Independence.....we cannot afford to keep a generation on pared down benefits, we need to give all our young folks a decent life.

Economic immigration, also affects society in the countries from which they come, who is going to look after the sick and build the homes in Eastern Europe?......another method of driving down wages?
