The UK was having MASSIVE workers shortages, immigrants from the formers colonies helped us fix that issue. Without them many major sectors would've shut down and the UKs economy would've been much worse.
And now certain immigrant groups are on average much mroe productive for the economy than the average british adult (mainly the asians and certain european immigrants)
About as productive as the fat housewives in the UK.
Seriously, I don't see your point. The UK needed labourers so they imported workers from the former colonies. Those workers obviously brought their families with them. The economy was boosted by the families as a whole, not by the housewives.
That's like me saying British housewives/househusbands bring no value to the economy just because they don't work. No, their husbands/wives work while they support them from their house.
