As this is the very first post on the blog, I don't think I'm going to try to be too ambitious.
A topic that always makes the news is migration. To be more more accurate, news is made (or sold to us) about poorer people in the world trying to enjoy the freedoms that we are able to enjoy here in the more developed world.
If we allow freedom of movement within the EU, could this liberty be expanded globally to allow a real "laissez faire" approach to population movements?
Would cultural barriers be broken down and underemployment be made a thing of the past? Could we reduce the impact of drought, lack of resources and "colonial hangover" from populations living in marginal countries like those in the Sahel?
What would the world look like if John Lennon's line became reality:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
Are the British really allowed to comment on the movement of others to our shores?
How many Brits live abroad?
How about the 'immigrants steal our job'? Think about it, How can that be when you increase the population you also increase demand and therefore stimulate an economy. If it were really true that immigrants stole jobs then in 2015 we should have something like this:
Immigrants don't steal jobs!
So where do we all go?
