You've Just Got To Be Kidding
How to lose 141,000 people.
Just dont bother keeping track of them. Its not like we have ANY control over their entry into our island nation whilst we are part of the EU anyway.
The net in-migration figure for the eight former Communist states was 64,000. However, these figures did not appear to tally with previous Home Office data on arrivals from the eight eastern European states, which said 205,000 came here to work in 2005.
Fantastic. So the Home Office (which actually one would assume has some idea of how many are actually coming in when they first arrive) have lost track of more than 70% of Eastern European immigrants from 2005 between them entering Britain and trying to actually record them properly. Great stuff. So if we follow the same mathematical model for all immigration, it follows that this statement...
It means the country's net population rose by 500 a day, or 185,000 during the 12 months.
...should actually read...
It means the country's net population rose by 1600 a day, or almost 600,000 during the 12 months.
That's another London in ten-twelve years. Oh goody. See, we could theoretically stop the majority immigration from outside the EU, but not from inside it. We have no choice to accept the endless flood of migrants from places like Poland (which ironically has lost so many people to Britain that it is now asking nicely 'can we have our people back please' like a kid asking for its ball back) while we remain inside the EU.
So, to our lovable political class, thanks for keeping us in the EU. Thanks to the Tories who took us in and lied through their teeth to keep us in. Thanks to Labour which abandoned its principles and did a 180-degree turn when offered a bribe in the form of the Social Chapter. And of course thanks to the Lib Dims who are firm believers in the idea that they know what;s best for us and just because we will never elect them is no reason why they shouldnt use the vehicle of the EU to inflict their Socialist insanities on us.
Well, I say 'thanks'. What I really mean is...well, I'll leave that to my readers' fertile little imaginations.

Which makes it an even bigger mockery when Beckett goes on about "securing our borders" and Reid suggests tighter border patrols.
They are pathetically helpless to do anything. Millions more foreigners will stream in as millions of Britons leave.
What does it matter if a hundred thousand or a million Poles come to the UK? They're hardworking, law-abiding and well-educated; they're also white and Christian, which doesn't bother me overmuch but seems to be the kind of thing you might approve of.
I can understand the antipathy towards migration from Pakistan, where none of the above apply, but I don't get the hysteria about other Europeans coming at all.

Nice snidey implication of racism there PDF, back on form I see. The reason I object is that only naive Lefties like you actually BELIEVE that they are 'all hardworking, law-abiding and well-educated'. Move to Slough or Staines dear boy, which is where the biggest influx has concentrated. Welfare services collapsing, crime through the roof like a Cruise missile...all in just over a year. Or ask any construction worker in an area where large numbers have moved to what he thinks of the fact that his wages have just plummeted through the floor...
And by the way, judging from the experiences I've previously had with Poles myself, you might find that many are actually a bit too 'white and Christian' for your tastes...
Yeah, the thing is I haven't seen one shred of evidence to justify what you're saying about crime and social services in Staines and Slough (despite having looked), and every British builder I've ever dealt with has done a shoddy rip-off job so it's pretty hard for me to give a flying f-ck about them no longer commanding pisstake wages...

Bugger, that'll teach me to go eat lunch halfway through a post and not do my research properly...
PDF, seriously, who are you trying to kid?

No media outlet is also reporting the increased crime as well as the strain on services which has accompanied this mass influx of Poles to the same area, but that's because its the kind of thing that gets you put inside in our charming country. If you talk to people on the ground like the perhaps aptly named Victor Meldrew in this thread:

...you might get a different perspective.
