Yup he fails to enclose the full statistics but let's not stop there. How many are flourishing with non speaking foreign people who cannot barely speak and understand english. It's futile manipulating statistics with me it simply won't work. Many buisnesses are takeovers by immigrants whom just entered the country, yet the countries are near to ruin. Odd indeed. Let's carry on, large corps outsourcing work to immigrants working for a lower wage are these the businesses that you are saying are flourishing?

Very odd indeed. We like to paint a picture but if we do decide to paint a picture let's paint the bigger picture tim and then, just maybe it may not seem odd at all but more informative about the facts you are aiming to accumulate.

British Migrants in spain are moving there to purchase houses they have worked hard for. You cannot compare the eu immigrants who have come here with nothing and getting everything from the government. The british in spain you cannot compare as they do not get the handouts and luxuries you are speaking of. Let's keep it so people see the big picture tim.

Anything that happened to ireland being benefited socially would have been an improvement. I doubt that the fighting for the last 30 years in ireland and it coming to an end had anything to do with that?

The english army pulling out improved the social status of ireland and feuding parties compromising not joining the eu.

I could go on but the portrait of manipulation your painting is not worth it unless you start thinking da vinci.
