So are there suddenly going to be more manufacturing jobs now, when we shifted to a service economy 30 years ago? Agriculture? Public sector? Your example is a simplistic as it is self defeating. It's precisely because technology is reducing the need for labour, whilst the pool of labour...

No country, including the mighty techtonic (see what I did there?) nation, is immune to economic shocks and forces which are extremely unpredictable except that they're going to happen in time. It's not a simple matter of continuing to find new ways of stimulating the economy, or adopting...

That's just not true though is it, take a look at the demographic curve over the last 30 years and compare to the last 300 whilst explaining to me how tech.jobs today and in future are 'soaking up' this amount of labour. Which btw, is growing exponentially at a rate never seen before in history...

However...they don’t because there will be more unemployment, lower wages and people live longer lives requiring a bigger social bill at ‘the other end’. Not to mention the population explosion in the (20yr) short term is a hell of a long time to be finding the cash to pay for all this. I...

National office of statistics, mainstream media and then there’s your own eyes...all for many years now have been saying those from ethnic minorities and immigrants have way more children. It’s a fact if you put your liberal chip to one side ( sorry, but ‘broad assumptions’ my arse, anyone...

Immigrants from developing countries have loads more kids. Placing a strain on various social budgets. We know this. What I don’t understand is that argument that immigrants work, thereby contribute tax to economy, so it’s all square, if Mum has for example 5 children and it takes 20+ Years for...
