With reference to A Brownstone's letter. I have seen proved on paper that 2+2=5. Figures are always as they seem and can be adjusted to fit the occasion.
Immigration to this country was increased and encouraged for political votes. I have paid into the pot for 50 years, income tax and national insurance. But now we have lost most of our manufacturing industries and there is not as much going in as is being taken out. As a mathematical problem this in no way can balance.
As for Mr Brownstone's quote referring to our "wonderful country" I think a visit to Specsavers is in order. We are the laughing stock of the Western world. We are rules by chancers and self preservationists.
