I'm sure Brillo believes that 1 million Europeans come over here and sponge off us. That's simply not the case. Statistics show that European migrants pay for themselves and actually bring more money into our economy than take out.
This 'small state' mindset is alarming because it accepts we don't reinvest for growth and means we blame everyone but the government for lack of investment.

True and the govt are more than happy for the electorate to blame everyone and their dog but themselves. They have been proven to use the media as a tool to demonise subsections of society for generations and yet the penny never seems to drop fully, it's as though the is establishment is entirely infallible :/
