Honestly not fussed if it's students or dependents or boat people or what, 600k is far too many for a country that has spent the last ten years deliberately downsizing and/or crushing public services.
Disregarding the old "they won't integrate" arguments for a moment, immigration could at least try to work if infrastructure kept up with demand. But, Tories gonna Tory.

Ah, Lord Percy with the ol’ “I hate the Tories.”
If we run with rpsmith79’s reasonable description of immigrant distributions* the illegals are unlikely to ever make a net contribution, we’ll educate the visiting students albeit they’ll pay for that much, and then we take care of the true refugees fleeing persecution, who are presumably grateful for that. It’s true that immigrant arrivals put pressure on existing infrastructure but if any that lot were disappointed we hadn’t invested in advance purely to accommodate them before they’d ever made a financial contribution I’d be surprised. Likewise why would the existing taxpayer feel obliged to fork out?
* I think he’s missed the professionals we’ve deliberately invited or accepted, and admittedly they will pay their way. I don’t know what percentage of immigration they constitute. |

That's a bit OTT. Most of my City customers pay proper wages and taxes. Outside of town... ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Wasn't saying that's not the case.
The point stands that even if everyone was getting on as one big happy family, there is still not enough infrastructure to handle it.
I saw this story posted on Reddit a couple of weeks ago and even the lefty liberal types (myself included) were saying enough is enough.
600k new migrants in a year is fucking obscene, and I truly do find it laughable that vast tracts of people over the past 5 or so years have based a lot of their democratic choices on fixing this problem, and those democratic choices won the votes, but things are now worse! Almost as if the party of choice has never had the best interests of the people at heart. Who'd have thought! |

Neoliberalism went into overdrive.
I wonder if what you were really trying to say was "Tony Blair was voted in", but surely that's not the point you were wanting to make because there has been 13 years of not Tony Blair's party claiming they would fix all that, but it has in fact only become worse, even after an EU exit referendum that claimed with even greater conviction that leaving the EU would definitely definitely fix all that.
So either it's not a party political thing, or it is a party political thing but for very different reasons. |

In the thriller movies the baddies take over by kidnapping and replacing world leaders. Seems like hard work!
