Ms Bland’s joke and the link between immigration and emigration
Apparently almost a million British citizens have left the country since 2000, to live somewhere else. Last year, according to the Office for National Statistics, 380,000 people left Britain, of whom about 200,000 were British citizens. At the same time, though, 565,000 immigrants arrived in Britain, the overwhelming majority from the Indian subcontinent (largely Pakistan and Bangladesh).

July 3rd, 2008 8:32pm Report this commentThe reality is that in the modern world, immigration has to happen. Everyone moved to somewhere at some point in history. However it should be managed well, to prevent what has happened in alot of London where you might as well be living in a foreign country. Really the government should have limited immigration to around 300,000 people per year (half of what is at the moment) - that would include putting in place the restriction to new EU countries that they are allowed to.
