Bald Facts No. 4

I got O level maths - have I lost the ability to add up over the years?

You can't reduce immigration and let in more non-EU workers.  

Nigel Farage has said he wants to target 30,000 - 50,000 net immigration. He has also said he wants MORE non-EU immigration.  As non-EU net immigration is currently 150,000 then how can he get to his target?

Conclusion:  All politicians are lying (including David Cameron).  You cannot reduce immigration to 'tens of thousands' without damaging the economy.  If that is what you want then vote Leave - it is a reasonable position.  But be honest about it.  I believe a more sensible position is for politicians to be honest about the demographic Armageddon that's facing the UK over the next 20-30 years and try to address that.
