CUK, please can you extend the ignore facility to make it ignore quotes by ignored people? Ta.
PS Also an "Ignore everyone except zeity" option would be great. Then I can just un-ignore a few other people. Much easier.
PPS Also an ignore self option, then would not waste time posting here.

Originally posted by doodab View PostIt comes down to when they joined. So NZ, Australia, Canada, S Africa were in at the start, India & Pakistan joined in the 40s when they became independent, so may actually be "new", Bangladesh I'm not sure about as they separated from Pakistan later on. There may be some other "old" countries but AFAIK everywhere that joined after that is "new", there are about 50 in total.

Originally posted by mos View PostI do not deny that EU8 immigration to the UK was taking place since the borders opened for the free flow of capital, goods, services and people.

Even if you restrict your argument to the "EU8" countries, those 8 fairly small countries make up 15% of the net migration of foreign nationals into the UK over the last decade. That's hardly a "small portion" as it's slightly more than came from the rest of the EU including Bulgaria and Romania.

Originally posted by doodab View PostYes really. if you look at migration from the "old" commonwealth (i.e. India, Canada, Australia, NZ etc) it fell from 62k to 24k over the same period, a drop of more than 50%.

I also believe that curbing the size of bogus college industry which resulted in sharp decrease of non EU migration was a good thing but I am wary of a few other anti immigration measures. I can also see how these restrictions could create resentment among Asian population who still feel that England 'Owe them'.
