With our over generous Benefits System we have over 2 million people not working who should be working. Hence we need immigrants to do the jobs our citizens refuse to do. Before Brexit we had a wonderful supply of willing and able highly qualified people to work in our NHS.  However without these skilled EU citizens we have now had to resort to employing people from third world countries with much lower educational standards. This is a lose lose situation because we aren’t getting the same quality of staff we are used to and those third world countries are losing people they desperately need.  They are educating their people as best they can but our government is stealing them. It’s shameful. With our current immigration running at 1 million a year - mainly unqualified - the country simply doesn’t have the infrastructure to support them and our cities have become third world. We don’t have the schools, hospitals, roads or housing. Most importantly our sewage treatment works have  for thirty years been pumping raw sewage into rivers and the sea. With a million more people a year the overstretched utility companies will collapse. Thames Water is already on the brink of collapse. People defecate and the sewage cannot be treated. Immigrants will breed and cause more stress on our systems.  Today we hear that teacher training applications are at an all time low. The government’s promise to employ 6,500 new teachers has already become a huge lie. Those teachers don’t exist. So whilst we may champion the fact that we have stolen staff from third world countries to sort out our cataracts we need to be aware that the current uncontrolled immigration is sinking us faster than ever.  It’s untenable and unsustainable.
