Official figures show that in the
past year 257,000 EU immigrants
have arrived in the UK and 630,000
EU citizens have requested National
Insurance numbers.
These figures, taken together with
with the news in Times article (Feb
27) 'Blair accused of opening doors
to 2m migrants' suggests little has
changed in government obscuring
inconvenient facts from public gaze
Notwithstanding the debatable
benefit of marginally higher GDP, the
effects of such a massive inflow can
be seen in the NHS, housing and
education, where scarce resources are
being stretched to breaking point.
We are where we are but should remind
ourselves how this situation has arisen.
The continuing assertion that, when in office,
Labour acted in good faith in not properly
assessing the impact of immigration and
of integration is contradicted by the facts.
A publication of 2000, obtained under the
Freedom of information Act, contained a
secret Cabinet Office report, which
characterised Labour's open-door
immigration policy as a deliberate attempt
to rub the Right's nose in cultural diversity.
Current projections are that each year
immigration will add to the UK population
the equivalent of a city the size of Bristol
size of Bristol.
We must regain the ability to control our
borders.
