Well patriot, not only are you absolutely wrong, but I find your views so utterly distasteful that I am not sure that it is worthwhile us discussing things at all.
Free movement of labour has nothing to do with immigration. This country is seriously lacking in labour in many parts of the economy and the age balance of our population requires a significant input of younger workers. Travel for work is different from the intention to permanently settle. People who want to live permanently in this country should be required to meet criteria for good citizenship.

Lack of ability of England’s company’s to compete (what’s left of them)
|
It is difficult to understand why you name yourself patriot when you have so little faith in the ability of British enterprise to compete. The truth is that we have comparative advantage in many areas of international trade and commerce. That is what has made us the fourth largest economy in the world despite being a very small island and a relatively insignificant population of 60 million in a world of 6 billion people. We will only be able to remain relatively properous and build on that prosperity if we free our economy from the mass of constraints placed on it at present and allow it to flourish in the free market which will permit the fullest expansion of wealth through the initiative and enterprise that we have in plenty. Our problem at present is that we are overtaxed, over regulated and suffering from substantial skill shortage.

much reduced GNP per capita.

You need to get a grasp of some basic economics if you want to engage in serious debate about how our economy can improve. As was demonstrated conclusively by David Ricardo, the removal of barriers to trade results in all cases in an increase in overall efficiency of the market bringing greater prosperity to all participants. For this reason, so called international aid is damaging to its recipients rather than beneficial and the same goes for 'soft' loans and debt cancellation. All subsidies, tariffs and trade barriers reduce the efficiency of the market and bring relative impoverishment to all participants including those who they were meant to protect. Removing the multitude of trade restraints and interventions that we have in our economy will undoubtedly result in an increase in GNP and GDP even if these things are done entirely unilaterally. The real route to third world status for our economy would be to isolate ourselves in any way from the opportunities provided by a globalised economy. Examples of the results of isolation can be seen in north Korea, Nepal, Myanmar (Burma) and other places.

That’s before we even mention the lowering of the quality of the people through the degradation and miscegenation such a system produces.

The repulsive, and idiotic, assertion that the indigenous population of the UK possess a racial superiority that would be degraded by any inter breeding between UK citizens and people originating from other countries is not worthy of any response. Master race delusions have resulted in enough death and misery. I will not contribute to any debate that gives a platform to such disgusting and dangerous nonsense.
