It may be that those seeking to pray on impressionable minds want to paint a picture of an island under siege from immigrants from outside the EU but the facts do not support the case.

Still we can't be too careful. Just imagine when we shake off the shackles of the EU and reach the Brexit promised land. Every man and his wife from outside the EU and within will be chancing their arm to have a piece of the golden prize!
We all know nothing will be any different, it might be a little harder to get in to the uk but that’s all pissand wind anyway. Blair let anyone who fancied free money and lodge in 20 years ago to try and de Tory the country. The crux of it all is who is going to rake in all the cash from new deals....you can bet your life it will be certain people who already donate a huge sum of cash every year to keep the tories going.....
