Net migration to UK falls

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Annual net migration to Britain dipped to 323,000 in September 2015 – 13,000 lower than the record level of 336,000 recorded last June, the Office for National Statistics has said.

The small fall in net migration provides evidence that the flow of EU migrants to work in Britain has now peaked and appears to be stabilising. The decline follows seven successive quarters – 21 months – of rises in the politically sensitive net migration figure.

The home secretary, Theresa May, responded to the new set of figures saying: “Net migration in the UK still remains too high. Immigration at this level puts pressure on public services, on housing, on infrastructure … it can hold down wages and push British workers out of jobs.”

But she said the EU deal struck by David Cameron would “clamp down on abuse of free movement” and “reduce the pull factor of our welfare system and make it easier for us to deport people who are abusing our generosity”. The 323,000 net migration figure remains more than three times the level promised by David Cameron when he pledged to reduce it to 100,000 by the time of the 2020 general election.

Bollocks

That's because the Guardian and it's lefty delusional readers think illegal immigrants are the victims of the nasty British immigration policy and should not be labelled as anything, especially 'illegal' .....in case it hurts their feelings!

And bollocks to that, too. Grow up.

Oh no!....has somebody said something you disagree with?...and now you find the opinion 'extremely offensive' and has hurt your feelings!
And was wondering!.....Do they list a timetable for the 'I'm offended by that' bandwagon in the Guardian so you can all jump on it?

All this noise about immigration but I can't help thinking we have far more problems than that. Banks that cannot be allowed to fail, my NHS that is being prepared for privatization via TTIP. Junior Doctors going on strike. You really don't go on strike, whoever you are, unless it is the last resort.

Ordinary people seeing the dream of owning their own home disappearing over the horizon. Gangs in charge of areas of our cities, illegal drugs generating more money than legitimate businesses,
I am sure there is more but tbh I don't like keeping up with the news at my age.

I just wonder why we are so shit scared of a few thousand migrants in Calais? Will it really make that much difference?

Rant over, and as a great man once said, "May your God go with you."

Clearly indicates how much this country has lost control of our borders!
Bullshit government targets on immigration, then when it horrendously fails says it can't stop immigrants from the EU coming here and now pedals how we should stick with the EU because it's the best thing for Britain......What a load of shit.....best for nobody but the foreign parasitic sponges flocking here! So they can send British taxpayers money back to their kids in their own country!!!
And don't think about trying to deport any of them even after they've committed a serious crime because blood sucking bottom feeders like Cherie Blair and Amal Cloony with make sure the good old Human Rights Act ensures they stay here at the tax payers expense!!!!

I suppose it's pointless pointing out immigrants are a net economic benefit, or that the real reason life is getting worse for so many ordinary people is rampant profiteering by a sociopathic elite.

When did I say 'extremely offensive'? Boring would be more accurate. You do write a load of old rubbish . . . .

Wasn't there 500,000 NI numbers given out the previous year as figures out suggest a cover up?
....

Over the past five years 2.25 million EU nationals have registered for national insurance numbers but official migration figures suggest that just 1 million European citizens have come to this country.

Experts said that the "massive" disparity cannot be explained by the difference in the way the figures are recorded and voters "deserve to have the facts and data" ahead of the EU referendum.
