immigration and pensions
If you earn the national average wage in the UK even if you have worked all your life from the age of 18 to pension age you will never have paid enough money into the national insurance to earn a full pension - 163 pounds a week - it is mathematically impossible. Because of this and the fact that people are living for much longer you need an average of 83 people in employment to pay 1 pensioner's costs. That is why you need immigration - that is a principal reason you need it - so you may not like immigrants but they are necessary - its simple mathematics.
