Listening to the radio last night and according to a poll; immigration has entered the top three as an election issue. Has it for you? If not or if so what are the top 3 issues you are concerned about.

No insults or political posturing please, just 3 points. Am intrigued.

For me:

1. The economy
2. Health service (waste, underfunding)
3. Law and Order.

[Manfred Archie Mac Gerbil]

1) Improve NHS

2) Increase minimum wage

3) Tell Zelenski to f*** off

[Johnnyspireite7]

1 NHS
2 Schools
3 Housing

[Mr Mercury]

1. Law and Order
2. Health Service
3. Immigration

People always have and always will put the pound in their pockets first.

Labour's simple question will be 'Are you better or worse off after thirteen years of the tories'?

The same question will also be asked of an NHS recieving it's highest ever satisfaction ratings under New Labour, yet now with nearly seven and a half million on waiting lists.

Law and order? We've long since reached the point where folk no longer bother reporting crimes as there's little chance of anything even approaching a conviction.

I'm sure the Right will, as always, seek to make immigration an issue. And as always there'll be those who'll respond. But I'll ask a simple question of 'BB' contributors: how many have met, seen in their community or been in any way affected by asylum seekers?

Just 3 points.

No posturing or political points.

Just a straw poll.

It was like show all your workings with no simple answer.

The idea is a simple straw poll.

Oh, sorry, thought you wanted a discussion.

Okay - NHS, social justice, political reform.

If we're being pedantic, there was an appeal for no insults, too...

Nope no discussion. Ta.

Point well made, but VAR (me 😂) resolves no direct insult made. Clean fight please all.

So just because here in rural Derbyshire people may not have experienced issues with immigration they can’t recognise that it’s a major problem for many people in other parts of the country? Likewise my families recent involvement with the NHS is nothing but positive, but I still put it in my top 3 concerns.
Apologies to the OP for digressing.
