Miliband not ready to be Prime Minister.

Yes I absolutely dispute it because it's not true. Where are you getting your duff data from?

 

 

Public Sector deficit 7.18 billion reduction in Feb this year compared to Y/E Feb last year

 

Current BD down 1.1b

 

Public sector borrowing down by 28b

 

Info from yesterdays Guardian Datablog.

 

Read it and weep.

But that doesn't mean that the debt is going down, as you claimed.

 

It just means that it is increasing at a slower rate.

 

If you are going to join in debates like this, it would be best if you understood what you were talking about.

 

Dear boy.

You have to understand the difference between deficit and debt. Which you clearly do not.

A falling population could make the public sector less sustainable. One of the important aspects of this is the age profile of the population. You know this and it pretty much destroys your anti-immigration arguments.

 

Increasing the amount of unemployed by increasing the population doesn’t solve the ageing population problem, it make it worse.

 

The ageing population is only a problem if you allow it to be a problem; the public sector would be more sustainable if everyone worked longer and if we had fewer unemployed, whilst ever we increase the population faster than job creation we are simply making the problems we already face much worse.

Obviously if we invite immigration we need the immigrants to be productive. Taking Polish immigrants as an example they have low rates of unemployment and low rates of crime. They pay tax and work hard in the economy. The vast majority of them come here to work.

Exactly without immigration the UK would collapse, this is what our resident xenophobic racists conveniently forget.

That’s rather the point, they come here to do work the our unemployed should be doing, if we create 1000 jobs and have 2000 unemployed people, but invite 1200 new people into the country, we now have more workers paying tax but more non productive people taking that tax, this is simply unsustainable, we can't go on increasing the population just to pay for lazy people to sit on their arses all day.

Maybe you could provide some evidence? Remember net migration is down and there are a million new jobs apparently. Who is doing the new jobs?

[MrSmith]

The evidence is in the numbers, more people in work as well as more people out of work means there are more people of working age.

 

It’s down but not gone and the working age population is still growing faster than job creation, clearly we can’t stop kids turning into adults but we cut net immigration to a point in which job creation exceeds population expansion.
