    What insult?

    Insinuating that they have ulterior motives. Your words -

    Seeing as they live to start threads posting links to everything EU and immigration-based

    Sorry - the OP's approach is not productive and means that posters end up focusing on the implied insult to a certain group of posters rather than the matter for debate (i.e. EU immigration and related benefits issues).

    One could equally make similar comments about posters who post endless threads about the bedroom tax - and don't quite get the correlation with rapid population growth, housing shortages and our lack of ability to fund our welfare state anymore.

    The UK's population has grown by 5 million in just a few years - but they seem blind to the fact that the consequence is higher housing costs and more overcrowding and less money to fund housing benefit as there are more claimants! And of course most of that growth is due to immigration - and the associated birth rates.

    Ignoring our trillions of debts and £165bn deficit - which isn't sustainable!

    Very well said Martyn.

    It's a problem people just don't want to admit to.
    Austerity = poorer

    throw in a housing shortage, mass immigration and lack of jobs, and you get exactly what we're in now. The only difference is some people think Labour have a tree of gold, but sadly that was sold off.
