Immigration Bill, Indeed

It is not the obvious way to appeal to the employing and letting classes, to require them to function as unpaid immigration officers in relation to their employees and tenants.

  1. Indeed.

    Blame the party that, quite deliberately and enthusiastically, let 5 million people in.

    We sent out search parties to get them to come, said Peter Mandelson.

  2. Five million? The population of Scotland? I shouldn't bite, but where the hell are they, then? Five million! I ask you!

  3. Yes, five million.

    Four million here officially.

    Just under 1 million estimated to be here illegally.

  4. Commenting, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migrationwatch UK said ..“4 million immigrants in 13 years is an astonishing figure – the highest in our history, including the Norman conquest in 1066."

    "The figure takes no account of illegal immigration"

  5. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

    David Goodhart's book (which you've quoted here) repeatedly states it.

    Goodhart observes that twice as many people arrived in ten years under Labour as in the previous fifty years before.

    And when you add the unknown number of illegals (well in excess of 700,000) then the number is closer to 5 million.

  6. Further to my last post.

    "where the hell are they, then?"

    I can tell you live in a village, Dave.

  8. So you cannot answer the question at all. It is based on a figure plucked out of the air and regurgitated by Sir Andrew Green and the Daily Mail, of all "sources".

    Come on, where are these five million extra people, the population of Scotland, five times the population of Birmingham, who arrived here between 1997 and 2010? Where?
