Your correct in terms of population size but in terms of market size the US is bigger.
I'd agree with that most British people have no issue with muslims, just have an issue with the very small minority of muslim extremists. Of course the average Brit would probably have issues with things like Sharia law, honor killings, death penalty for apostasy, the hijab/burka and various other rules and laws that some muslim countries have and that's fine and not Islamophobic or anything like. But as long as a migrant living respects the rules and laws of the UK then most British people have no issue with them living there. The problem is the extremists on both sides of the argument, where one side brands all muslims extremists and mixes up genuine issues the average person might have with Islam with outright lies about them. Then when the average person starts asking questions about Islam with genuinely good intentions looking for honest answers, they get shouted down as an Islamaphoes and a chasm opens up between the two sides.
Your right when you say immigration has many facets and immigration was a massive factor in the leave vote. Both again the claims don't stack up. Migrants are not a strain on the UK at all economically. Studies have shown when looking at EU migrants on the whole, they provide a net economic contribution to the UK, those studies factor in any benefits the migrants are claiming. this is because most EU migrants are generally well educated, mostly already have jobs lined up when they arrive and crucially on average are younger and therefore more productive than the native population. So they have every right to be entitled to places in education and been provided with health care, hell the NHS is propped up migrant workers to a considerable degree.
In fact the UK and Europe on the wholes needs more migrants to help cover the cost of pensions for an aging population. Several EU countries populations have gone into decline. Its estimated with current immigration rates into the UK by 2029 the work force will be short 1 million people.
So what about some schools not speaking English as there first language. This is something like 32,100 schools in the UK. The number of schools where English was not the primary language was from the last numbers I saw was 240. Less than 1%. Of that less than 1% how many are catering to children from primarily EU countries. It doesn't sound like a massive issue.
Also do you really think other countries aren't the same. Bet you there are lots of schools in America where English is not the first language either.
Any evidence to back up your claim that many foreigners are not integrating? By many I mean majority?
Look I'm sure among the migrants there is a few bad eggs, a few extremists, a few benefit scroungers, as there is among the native population. But you have to look to look at the issue subjectively and weigh up the pros and cons. You also have to acknowledge that the UK can lawfully as members of the EU right now remove EU citizens after 3 months who can't provide evidence they have means to support themselves. This is done in many EU states but the UK does not enforce those laws because the UK government wants the migrants for economic reasons.
I'm glad we both agree the collapse of the EU would be terrible for the world in general. Though not sure why you want the UK to leave if you feel that way.
