Thread Name: BS: UK immigration too high?
Subject: RE: BS: UK immigration too high?
"There has been a lot of irresponsible scaremongering about immigration in recent years which was based on the false assumption that high net migration into the UK was inevitable for years to come. As our recent report on re-migration showed, migration flows go both ways and we now need to be thinking about how our managed migration systems can continue to attract and retain the migrants we need to help our economy to recover and grow."
A different viewpoint from yours Keith. I pointed out before that the House of Lords report missed a fundamental trick in its analysis.
Source? The Institute for Public Policy Research.

Given the rather malodorous views of Immigration Watch in general, I ahve a preference in policy terms.
