In my experience, the right wing counter argument in retort is that the difference is time, overall population levels, etc.
I.e. there was a time when we did just need people (or could absorb people) but things are different now.
I'm not convinced by it but its not entirely illogical
We've seen variations of this for years now, it is vital that two contradictory things are held to be true:
- GB is a global Titan, we don't need anyone else as we are so strong and our culture is puissant and virile
- Our culture is so weak that hearing Spanish in Sainsbury will destroy it utterly
- GB is a global Titan, we don't need anyone else as we are so strong and our culture is puissant and virile
