I hear that East Europeans girls are fit, don't mind cooking for their beloved hubby, cleaning, looking after kids and generally be a good wife... beats some random Glasgow bitch, eh?

East European migrant worker figure 'too low'

The number of East Europeans coming to work in Britain since 2004 may be 50% higher than previously thought, a BBC Two Newsnight survey suggests.

The survey of 500 Poles in the UK found 64% had signed the workers' register.

Official figures show 375,000 workers have registered since the EU expanded in May 2004 but the survey suggests 187,000 more may have come to the UK.

What was it Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said in 2004?

"There is no need for the UK to apply controls, like everyone else in the EU, because there will only be 15 thousand."

Anyone who believed that figure is not competent to be in government.

The prime minister said any debate should be about how best to control immigration, not about overall numbers.

Eh?
