It will take work and investment to change this culture, but it’s urgently needed. Immigration is inevitable, underway and will only increase (eg climate crisis). Nations will anyway be competing over migrants as birth rates are v low. Healthy society & economy means making this work #NomadCentury
Europeans have come to detest immigrants and can no longer explain why in any rational fashion. Islamist terrorism has declined to nearly nothing. Crime is low. Immigrants have jobs and so do locals. Only remaining one is blaming them for the housing shortage which is gibberish
The employment rate of non-EU born migrants exceeded that of the UK-born for the first time on record.
Confirms other evidence that recent migrants (even if they did not arrive on work visas) are very likely to be working/have high employment rates.
