I note Keith apparently thinks that anyone who ever receives "social housing" stays in it for ever. How surprising

How stupid of you to note such a stupidly wrong thing Richard.
How surprising.

How can population figures be accurate if net adjustments (in/out) cannot be trusted?
Immigration figures are calculated by sampling at ports and airports.
The criticism is that the sample is too small leading to an error margin around 50 000.

Population figures are produced by ONS using census techniques on a very large scale, and you will find that no-one from any quarter has ever questioned them.

Except, now, you Ian.
Still laughing?
