HAS LABOUR'S MISHANDLING OF IMMIGRATION RUINED BRITAIN?

Ministers have no idea how many immigrants are coming to the UK

MINISTERS have no idea how many immigrants are coming to Britain, according to a damning report by MPs.

The official statistics are “totally inadequate” for grasping the scale of population changes, the Parlia-mentary investigation has concluded.

As a result, public services are in danger of collapsing because the lack of reliable data means the Government is incapable of planning ahead.

The scathing attack is due from the Commons Treasury sub-committee on Thursday.

Ahead of the publication, chairman Sir Michael Fallon revealed his shock at the lack of immigration data that his investigations uncovered.

The leading Tory said MPs had been “stunned to learn that there was no reliable source of information”.

The MPs’ report provides further vindication of the determination of the Daily Express to highlight the issue of immigration. In the past, this newspaper has been criticised by ministers for raising concerns.

But now MPs from all Westminster parties are recognising the impact of Labour’s policy of mass immigration.

Do YOU think Labour's mishandling of immigration has ruined this country?

Are Labour CLUELESS on immigration and its effects on Britain?

IMMIGRATION AND GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE

In the whelter of self-serving panick gripping MPs about immigration, it should be remembered that African nurses have been recruited on contract to work in our Nursing Homes and Care Homes, caring for our elderly people. There are insufficient English carers to work in this ever expanding area.
These African nurses don't deprive any English person of a job.
They tend to be better educated than their English equivalents and harder working.
It would be a serious mistake, and another government incompetence, to exclude these nurses from our country and diminish their rights to live here.

i don't think you were "off topic" actually.

Your post is a very good response to Mr Prawn's last post. You have given him a very good explanation of why we, in Great Britain, could reduce our food consumption and actually do ourselves good. Much of what is imported is wasted or just makes us all fat.

(Oh sorry, how un PC of me, i mean obese,of course).
