    I don't know what the turnouts were across each group - we also know YouGov have been getting it wrong lately.

    There are certainly more older voters than younger, because our country has an ageing population. That's why we need immigration - to pay for the pensions of the old, and the benefits of those unable to work.

    Oh I see that's the YouGov polls was that the same polls that had Remain to win at 52% to 48% the day before the referendum?

    As for paying for the pensions of the old, they've been very thoughtless retiring, I mean whose going to make up the shortfall of the lost Tax and NI contributions that the paid throughout their working lives?

    To be fair, even if they are 4% out as they were with the official one, then that still tells the same story.

    What happened to your 8% post?

    If it makes you feel better, my 4% calculation is almost certainly wrong...

    Talk about selective responding.

    Firstly - I admitted that, although they were the figures from YouGov, Yougov were hardly reliable during the referendum nor the general election.

    Secondly - I did NOT say that pensioners were thoughtless retiring. What I am saying is that the UK population is ageing and, with a shortage of young "indigenous" people to sustain the taxes to pay the pensions you have to look for immigration to fill the gap.

    Again, I wasn't complaining about pensioners. I was making the point that the UK population is getting older and so the main way to sustain their well-earned pensions is through immigration. The other way to look after our pensioners needs is to raise NI contributions and/or taxes.

    There are more immigrants working here than there are unemployed people. Many are doing skilled jobs that would take the UK years to train people up for.
