Who said I'm not concerned about it?
Last time I checked you can be concerned about more than one thing at the same time
Keep banging that racism drum instead of addressing legitimate concerns and you'll see what happens. The govt got a sneak preview as to what coming with the recent referendum debacle
Well your history of posting to this board suggests it isn't a matter of concern at all. You seem to be infinitely more exercised about immigration. If your reason for "legitimate concern" around immigration is down to what you perceive it costs the public purse (as you have claimed) then why aren't you at least as vocal about tax evasion, given its surely a much bigger cost to the public purse?
I mean, I don't know anyone who gets up in the morning and is inhibited in any way during their daily life by the presence of an immigrant. I know countless people who on a daily basis struggle to pay their energy bills though. I'd imagine most people would say the same about the people they know. So I'd find it very odd if any of those people were more passionate about immigration as a political priority than they are about things like the cost of living or any of the other issues that directly impact their own standard of living every day. The only explanations I can think of is that they are too stupid to know they are being manipulated, or just racism (which may as well be a byword for stupidity).
