More on migration
More than two million foreign nationals have moved to Britain in recent years and nine in 10 of them came from outside Europe, according to new research published. MigrationwatchUK, a pressure group, has calculated that a net 2.3 million immigrants arrived in Britain between 1991 and 2006, the majority of them from developing economies in Africa and Asia.
Only 205,000, or eight per cent, came from the East European nations that have joined the European Union since 2004, according to Migrationwatch's analysis of official population statistics. The group said the scale of non-European immigration undermined the Government's claims on migration patterns and laws
I have to say that it is to Britannia’s credit that we take it upon ourselves to import so many people that are unskilled, don’t share our traditions & values or even speak our language … just so that we can give them huge amounts of the taxpayers money. It makes me proud to be British

Judging by the what I see around me, a fair chunk of those emmigrating from this corner of Africa (SA) are doctors, dentists, engineers and the like.
All are escaping the inevitable slide into chaos that seems to follow the liberation movements on this continent.
So you probably won't be shelling taxpayers money out on them.

Vincent, you may be right in saying that but technically we are paying. You see for those that come here and take those high skilled jobs, they take away opportunities promised to British citizens training for those jobs.
training that we pay for through our tax money in one way or another, and those that dont get work we pay for.
the Knock on effect of letting to many people into this country ill cost us massively weather they are skilled with jobs or not.
There is no room at the inn!!!
