Astonishing! How officials missed enough immigrants to fill Manchester
2013-07-11
[EXPRESS.CO.UK] HALF a million more immigrants have flooded into Britannia from other European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
 countries than officials previously ­admitted, research revealed last night.

The hidden influx, overwhelmingly from Eastern Europe, is equivalent to the population of a city the size of Manchester.
Are they blowing up stuff? Having elebenteen children while on the dole? Gaming the benefits plan? Hacking soldiers in the street?

No? Golly gee, explain to me why they're bad then...
It means the UK admitted four million EU migrants in just 13 years -- believed to be the biggest immigration surge in the country's history.
Kinda like being hit by Ostrogoths from one side, while the Vandals and Huns are showing up on the other.
The revelation triggered ­furious allegations that the "astonishing" true scale of border control failure under the previous Labour government was covered up.

The row erupted after pressure group MigrationWatch UK published new analysis of the national ­population census.

Figures showed that the number of people born in other EU countries living in the UK soared by about four million between 1997 and 2010.

Previous population figures published by the Office for National Statistics had estimated that 3.4 million EU immigrants arrived here over that period.

MigrationWatch chairman Sir Andrew Green said: "Four million immigrants in 13 years is an astonishing figure -- the highest in our history, including the Norman Conquest in 1066.

"This new information underlines the scale of the task faced by the present government in getting the numbers down."
