"In Britain new migrants from the EU contribute more to the exchequer than they take out." - The Economist, today.
In my latest piece on TalkMarkets, I ask some questions about that assertion. Can anyone help with facts?

This feels like one of those questions where there is no answer. No doubt a range of answers could be constructed from a range of facts, but many important "facts" are probably inaccessible or indeterminate.
ReplyDeleteFor example, a primary school in Derby with over fifty percent of pupils not having English as their first language. Many are not familiar with formal education either and don’t want to be there. How does one feed those facts into wider answers?
Questions without answers feed political processes though, and that may be their ultimate purpose.
It's as though we're being fed authoritative answers without evidence. There's such a lack of trust now.
