      He's right... vultures also leave a carcass to rot when all the meat has gone.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            So immigration (excluding EU) (excluding work visas) (excluding illegals) (excluding over-stays) is down to just over 140,000 per year, and that supposing does not cause any problems. (140,000 is about the population of Bournemouth.) So there are no issues of expanding at that rate, no extra housing needed, no extra infrastructure no extra jobs needed.

              You've got to vote Gordon Brown back into power. The man is such a buffoon; the comedy value is outstanding.

                Well said sir. Though Bournemouth is quite nice - I see 140,000 as two more Lutons every year.

                Don't forget traffic congestion.

                  Er, haven't the UK statistics authority raised a protest about Brown misrepresenting the figures?

                    Some of that 140,000 would be spouses - so called family sponsorship. So wouldn't necessarily translate into jobs, houses etc. Most of the overstays in the country are actually by Americans and Australians...and illegals, well, somebody's gotta pick the vegetables.

                    Still seems a bit though 140,000 - should we not encourage more Brits to leave thus balancing things out?
