What are the Farage policy objectives regarding an ageing population ? Will he cut the state pension or raise the entitlement age ? How will he fund long term care for the elderly ?

Thats the problem with the silly pub bore politics of the populist. The difficult complex problems that real politicians have to try fix are not wished away by blaming the fucking EU.

Jesus. I am debating politics with Markham.

So he's got no idea how to solve these problems, just like every other politician. So he'll fit in great with the other bunch of losers.

Getting a grip on immigration is one way of solving problems. Those who really add to the community of the UK in a way that doesn't burden the country with more welfare payments would help. Getting people off the welfare system by offering them jobs that don't need taxpayers to subsidise their wage packets or pay their rant would help. This puts more money into people's pockets and more money into tax revenues and reduces welfare payments. Allowing government more money to fund areas that need funding.

Removing all welfare to migrants until they have been in the UK for 5 or more years and contributed into the system would also help.

Privatising the Health service is a stupid idea. There is no way a privately owned company can run it cheaper that a Nationalised organisation. The problem is the layers of bureaucracy that comes with a nationalised organisation. Get rid of those layers so only essential layers are required would help.

The same goes for education. Too many exams, too many bureaucrats with no teaching experience telling professionals how they should teach.

Cutting down on immigration of cultures who have large families would also help the housing, welfare, NHS, etc crisis.

But as you point out the population is continuing to grow and the politicians we have do nothing to slow it down and actually speed up the problem. Because they are no better and some a lot worse than Farage.

Yes I would love to debate these points with you. Are you up for it? Without resorting to the fact that I migrated to Czech and obtained a Residence and Business license before Czech joined the EU? And that I'm pro migration of people who bring something to their new country.
