You are of course quite right and London is not a place that I want to work or live in and to a growing extent, visit. This is mainly for the reasons that you point out. The only attraction that London now holds for me is its history, museums and iconic buildings. The people have gone, diluted and getting less significant as the mass influx of foreign nationals drain health care, social resources and housing.
For many, what we are witnessing with mass immigration is a bit like standing in your vegetable garden at the end of a long summer, admiring the produce of your work and then your neighbour invites other people to help themselves to the fruits of your labour. Inviting them to dig up the carrots & potatoes that you were relying on for the winter.
Fortunately, I've got private health care, but for those who don't, think long and hard about what you are voting for in June. If we remain in the EU there will be no future possibility of controlling immigration and I think that point is accepted by both sides. If we continue to experience the present influx of immigrants both legal and illegal our infrastructure will collapse and fail us. The national health service is falling apart now, today, and without swift action it will not be there when you need it in a few years time. When you or a family member needs to see a consultant regarding a critical illness, the wait due to demand will seriously jeapordise you chances of recovery. The range of drugs you may need won't be funded. This isn't speculation, it's mathematical certainty.
You will see graphs, pie charts and spurious statistics telling you that immigrants are but a tiny blip in the population. A blip which can be absorbed. A blip, without which, our health service would be understaffed. Nonsense, we have plenty of home grown workers, they just need motivating with the sharp end of a stick. The truth is the government don't know to the nearest two million how many come here each year. Take the Calais Jungle Camp. People continue to arrive, but the camp doesn't get any bigger. It's like a bucket, start to fill it with water, when it's full, you either turn the tap off (stem the migrant flow), get another bucket (expand the camp) or the bucket overflows (migrants flood into the uk). That's what is happening, the camp's existence creates the illusion that they are being held there, but the reality is that as one arrives, one enters the UK, the camp stays the same size.
Forget whether we will still be able to sell things to other countries, wherever there is supply and demand a way to trade will be found. It's been that way since the beginning of time and that will always continue regardless.
Immigration is the number one factor in this Europe vote and of course it is being surpressed as usual. Immigration posses the greatest threat to our security, health and future happiness since WW2. We have to take control and make sure that the immigration trend is reversed and the first step is getting out of Europe.
I think the outs will prevail. There is a lot of anger born out of being lied to circulating at the moment.
