So if £250bn marks 10% of Gdp

And Benefits comes to a yearly cost of £250bn 10%
And the nhs spending comes to £250bn 10%

Defence spending comes to 2.5% gpd - £62bn

Immigration costs less than 1% gdp, less than £25bn

So if your government spends £500bn on you, and less than 25bn on immigration.

Why are people so upset and sat outside Hotels complaining?
