Not really new news, to those of us who ever check facts on immigration rather than parrot PC nonsense anyway. Geographical immobility in some parts of the country, partly as a consequence of language problems, especially among women, has long been a major impediment among some groups.
Even those wonderful Eastern Europeans doing the jobs that lazy Brits don't want to do etc., etc. How strange that:
The 291-page report - commissioned by the Brussels commissioner for employment and social inclusion, Laszlo Andor - found there were 611,779 "non-active" EU migrants in the UK last year compared with 431,687 in 2006 - a 42% increase.Last edited by xoggoth; 29 January 2014, 23:09.bloggoth
