Received £10.9 billion worth of contracts during covid.
Wow. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Few things did more for the lot of the agricultural worker than the Black Death. Those who survived saw a significant increase in their wages, freedoms and general living standards.
If, as is posited, the rise of AI will result in a wave of jobs ceasing to exist, the absolute last thing we need is millions of unemployed and unemployable people arriving every year.
And as previously said in other threads, the small boats are a distraction. Hundreds of thousands more arrive legally. |
The boats are visible. Gone are the days when people used to sneak in through the channel tunnel in the middle of the dark night clinging on to Lorries and trains. Thousands of young men grinning and cheering in the full view of tv cameras coming unchecked across the very waters we spent countless lives defending against Hitler, Napoleon and others stirs something very deep in the national consciousness.
There is nothing but political will and the futile facade of international cooperation stopping us from deploying the Royal Navy, picking them up and taking them back to France. The boats would stop coming almost overnight. If the French don’t like it. Tough. |  |

Would Labour have implemented this scheme if there were no "asylum seekers " , more votes for the red rosette I suppose.

But if we blocked all immigration and replaced it with the needed increased birth rate we’d still be in the same position.
It’s ping to take more than just sorting immigration out. |
Actually we would not be so far off replacement birth rate in the short term if we had zero immigration. Our population pyramid (which becomes a problem if wide at the top with a big proportion of older people) still has good width for the working age group towards the middle. In that regard we are better off than many of our European neighbours. If we had zero immigration then the UK population would decrease by 0.4 million from 67.6 million in 2022 to 67.2 million by 2030. Of course, we won't get to zero and the population would stay around the same with about 200,000 to 250,000 net immigrants p.a. Take a look at this calculator, which enables you to vary the main parameters.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplep
It can be seen that an increase in the fertility rate from 1.4 to 2.1 children per woman would enable us to achieve a relatively stable population for longer with zero immigration. Under this scenario the pyramid remains viable with greatest width in the middle and bottom. The interesting thing that the calculator shows is that even if we maintain immigration at the present or a higher level we soon get to the position where the pyramid looks problematic because a smaller proportion of working age people need to support the old and young. You need to look at the pyramid to the right on the screen (labelled the "Population age profile") to see this. | | | |

You have to be some kind of devil incarnate to receive the abuse he does , after 14 years of some pretty disastrous government you'd have thought Labour would at least have a years tenure before being found out but from the beginning they've proven to be worse and more dangerous to our security then even the most ardent Tory support could wish for. | |

Whereas I found the Tories to be insouciant to the needs of the masses , Starmer, to me, truly doesn’t give a stuff
His contempt to the ordinary working people is visceral
Johnson had a warped weird naughty public school boy persona , Starmer simply a devious London lawyer and lawyers can never be trusted | |

He’s been at the front line of politics for well over 15 years now and nobody has the slightest idea what he believes in or what his actual views are. He’s just a very dull and uninspiring robot who just reads whatever script is put in front of him. | |

Population growth via migration is only worthwhile if the incoming population contribute more than they take. There is serious doubt about whether that is the case.
To increase the native birthrate you need to make it cheaper and easier for people to find homes and start families. Setting aside social housing for UK citizens would be a start. Significant tax breaks/payments for children would be another good step.
Endlessly opening the borders isn't working at the moment. |
Correct only about 25% of immigrants actually work, with the % of illegal immigrants working even smaller.
They are happy to live of our tax free generous benefits paid for by hard working people. | |

They do work but in the “black/gig” economy so they’re taking home a wage cash in hand tax free on top of claiming the benefits. | |

The reason why the tax burden should transfer from income to spending, the harder you work the more you get and the more you spend the more you pay. |  | | |

My wife nearly paid Tesco's own special tax at the city centre "Marina" branch recently. She saw the big "2 Hours" at the top of the carpark signs, but did not read the small print beneath, which says that you need to validate a parking slip issued at the till in the machines outside if you stay over 1 hour. My wife was there for about 80 minutes and a £70 fine demand letter arrived. The wife had spent around £100 in the store so I went down to plead with the manager to cancel the ticket (they can check the club card record with points and date). The duty manager I saw was affable enough and said it would be cancelled, but then a reminder demand letter arrived. I repeated this with a different duty manager who said the same, but a week later the fine was still showing on the Horizon (parking company) website. Despite the managers' assurances that the fine would be cancelled, it transpired that Horizon can ignore emails from the branch. Fortunately, I managed to download the club card record and paste it into the Horizon online appeals webpage. The fine was then cancelled. So the morale of the story is: make sure your wife reads carpark signs carefully. My wife's excuse was most Tesco car parks just have the big hours figure at the top and no small print below that reduces the time allowed. One hour is unusually short - so beware. | | | |

That is what this Tesco branch deserves, but my wife likes the store. The signage is particularly problematic for people whose first language is not English. An Asian women known to my wife said that she also received a recent parking fine because she thought she had two hours and exceeded the one hour.. | | | |

Policies have driven the decent shoppers out of Swansea City Centre with you cannot park unless in a designated multi storey car park queue and pay top dollar for the privelage .
Out ot Town retail Parks have cottoned on to the money making exercise , albiet rouge parking organisations who issue warnings via ANRP , just how can they access records .
Last time I visited Swansea Centre I was glad to leave asap , sad but true . | | | |

I have to say that when I do visit town to shop we park in Debenhams ,at £2 an hour and the the fact that you can remain undercover from the car park to the Quadrant makes it ideal for me .There are a few no payment parking areas in town but they tend to be very limited or inconvenient if you have to carry a heavy load.
The place is improving without doubt but still a lot of work to be done. When you see images of what town was like before the blitz it must have been quite an experience to shop there , I know it was in the 60's and 70's jammed packed every weekend but has been like so many others in decline, unless places like the Morfa, Fforrestfach and all the other out of town shopping centres close then we have to accept the fact that we will never see a return of a truly flourishing shopping centre. | |
