'We need more migrants in London' - Sadiq Khan
Good job bruv, all that TALENT coming in on the boats. Channel 4 interviewer didn't even bring up the boats. Either media incompetence, or corruption.
Shame it’s too expensive to live here. I can’t imagine starting today like I did in 2005.
Am I missing something? How does migration equate to boats?
Migration is people coming into the country, and yes, that's a problem now with Britain not being such an attractive place to be as before
Isn't is interesting that Krishnan Guru-Murthy(Channel 4) went the entire interview without mentioning the small boats and instead was trying to get Khan to call Tories a bunch of racists?
Why are small boats relevant to immigration?
Not sure I should be feeding you but I'll see what happens...how many people do you think come here in small boats?
We need more migrants in the UK (and Western Europe) more generally. We have an ageing population, life expectancy has increased hugely since our state pensions were set up, and the massive post-war baby boomer generation are all retiring and need their pension paid for likely 20+ years of retirement.
The options for paying for all this are either:
-
Make the state pension offering less generous - less money at later retirement ages.
-
Make the younger generations pay taxes through the teeth to fund the boomers through several decades of retirement.
-
Make it easier for ambitious hardworking young people to come to the UK legally to live, work and pay taxes.
The first and second option both raise big problems of intergenerational fairness. The third option seems like a win for everyone involved.

How many migrants you need, Sid my man? I can spare you.... about five 🤣.
