Watched the Q & A to-night May/Corbyn.
Any views on it anyone?

Many expect the effects of automation and AI to eclipse the effects of immigration on jobs in upcoming years.

There must be a bell-curve in all this, where immigration simply creates more jobless people who are going to need supporting by the state, with the increasing social problems that's likely to bring with it.

My students have now decided to hold a debate-
What does NHS stand for?
National Health Service under labour/Corbyn OR NO Health service under conservatives/May?
I would be grateful for any contributions on the subject.

I think Brexit's about ensuring we still have a society we recognise once the dust's settled.

Europe's approach to migration is radically altering the continent – and I think many are concerned it's driven by globalist ideology that has little concern for social repercussions .. Zizek described Macron's victory as: the light at the end of the tunnel being an oncoming train – it was that brand of politics, along with the migrant crisis, that created the likes of Le Pen.

It's interesting how much more carefully Asian countries handle migration .. Japan has much bigger problems with its ageing population, but still sees birthrates as the problem, and migration as a double-edged sword, while China are laughing at the problems Europe's creating for itself ('Baizuo' (white left) is a regularly used insult on Chinese forums).

There's also a class issue that gets obscured in the statistics.

I never understood anti-Polish and E.European sentiment .. These are people who share our values (perhaps uphold them better than most of us do), learn the language, work hard .. I never understood how anyone saw them as a problem, until I walked past a job centre advertising jobs in Polish .. This is families, generations and estates being left on the scrapheap, and they know it.

Perhaps you should widen your students education a little by giving them some facts before their debate.
For example the last Labour goverment managed to change the culture of the NHS to focus more on form filling and quota counting rather than patient care. As a result when Labour left power serious questions were asked as to whether the health service was any longer fit for purpose. Indeed many patients were sadly found to have suffered some fatally due to lack of simple basic patient care under Labour's tenure.

Perhaps that is why many voters feel the NHS and not just the economy are in better hands with the Conservatives.
