No doubt the deal will become effective after census day.

The workers will be exempt from National Insurance in their first year but will be able to use the NHS.

It doesn't really help the govt's case against "tax avoiders" when they do stuff like that.

Probably why they're here, to find out how many foreigners we've let in under New Labour.

How big is an int32 again?

No, they are kept off all government statistics, including the immigration target numbers one.

Not sure why it's recent news, as I guess we all heard about it. Perhaps is shortly due to come into force? Prepare for the next big wave.
