IMMIGRATION
10 February 2005
More than 1 million East Europeans entered the UK last year, following the EU expansion giving them unrestricted access to the UK. 90,000 of these admitted that they would be staying for more than 3 months. A further 41,000 were already in the UK working illegally.
These figures far outstrip the ludicrous government estimate that only 13,000 East Europeans would come to the UK.
Meanwhile, Britain is now experiencing ‘white flight’ from the major cities such as London. The areas most affected are those with high numbers of ethnic minorities.
