Re: What is the Nature of Evil?

Often, there's a lack of thought about the consequences of actions and policies, even when they seem simple (the policy, that is, not(?) the policy maker).

Last night, I heard the procedings in the House of Lords, in a debate about the European Union. One lord - of UKIP, I believe - stated that by leaving the EU, the UK would be able to create another 2,500,000 jobs. I couldn't help wondering where the people needed to do these jobs would come from. Surely not Europe. (I further wondered what the other members of his party might think of this influx.)
