Just read an amusing article that explained how the government has been understating immigrant figures by 100,000+ for the last few years ...
'The Government had claimed, for instance, that 156,400 migrant workers arrived in Britain two years ago. Now they say the number should have been 263,000.
The previous year the official figures had declared that 150,600 foreign workers landed in the UK, a figure which has now been revised up to 262,600 ...'
The story was released quietly at the end of last week when Labour thought no-one was looking. Sure enough, the BBC haven't covered it (on the same day the US State Department announced that opium production in Afghanistan was up at least 40% since the US/UK invasion - that one didn't get much coverage either)
We haven't been told how long this has been going on which means that we're talking quite a long time then.
And the reason for our own Government understating migrant figures by 500-700,000 over the last five years or so? Apparently the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) didn't maintain statistical monitoring systems sophisticated enough to deal with the complexities of the data they were collecting. i.e. They didn't add up how many National Insurance numbers they've issued.
That would be the same DWP that 'regularly screened its computers for potentially offensive and inappropriate material' only to discover last month that 227 of its employees had downloaded two million pornographic images over the first eight months of this year. The DWP has imposed tighter controls on Internet access and 16 of the offending staff have been sacked. So, presumably, the other 211 are having to make do with pornographic magazines they've bought on the way to work.
Of course, immigrant figures aren't understated because our civil servants can't count or spend their time playing with themselves in front of their VDUs. These crooked figures are deliberate Government policy. Our leaders realise that we are too small-minded to understand that we have desperate skills shortages in this country that can only be filled by unvetted, large-scale migration. A brief summary of the scale of the need and the kind of jobs that need filling can be found here ...
