ranger_syntax 3,498 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 I wonder if immigration has any impact on mental health. Does the increasingly rapid transformation of society help people? Or does it leave people feeling like the rug is about to be pulled out from beneath them? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there are a lot of issues that could have an impact on someone's mental health. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was intended to be about the relationship between immigration and economic growth. So I'd prefer to talk about any overlap rather than just switch the thread to mental health. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about anywhere in the world. You could also say most nations will have concerns about Immigration, it isn't exclusive to the UK. Immigration isn't a bad thing and I'm sure most Britons would agree with that. Mass Immigration... maybe not so much. Large numbers of illegal immigrants... definitely not. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental health is now the byword for laziness and the workshy those who want to claim benefits as a way of life i gather once those two magic words mental health appear on your sickness certificate then that's you deemed exempt from taking a job your home and dry so to speak give them all a clean bill of health and that can mean a stop to immigration by filling vacancies with the workshy get the posters up JOY THROUGH WORKING . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of ideas to get the 5m or so inactive people back to work, they reach for the unskilled immigrant in typical EU style. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A (very) recent genetic map of Britain by Oxford University completely refutes the sound bite that we’re all descended from immigrants. I’ll try to find it again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
