The article is laughable really. Does the govt appoint survey teams to register immigrants?

If someone is coming on a flight, how can he do that without having registered himself as an immigrant or a potential immigrant first(unless he comes in as a student, in which case its not the fault of the survey team). Are they saying that there was no immigration staff at night time?

We all know how the mass migration happened. Flights and planes have nothing to do with that. Probably the media trying to feel people some more crap.

While this is going on we have to conclude that figures from the Office for National Statistics are nowhere near an accurate figure.

Once again. Nothing wrong with immigration. It's totally unplanned immigration which is the problem. To just let anyone in anywhere and leave everyone to sort it out amongst themselves is absolute madness.

Imagine trying to run a business like that. 

From now on I think we'll just declare our daytime earnings to the HMRC, and not bother with the nighttime cash. That should be OK.

compare the number of people entering the country from aboroad (eu and non-eu) with the number of NI numbers given out to foreign nationals each year .... then try hard not to laugh / scratch your head as you see we give out a lot more NI numbers than there are people supposedly entering the country each year Crazy

Same with the schools. I help at a school in the Midlands which has just had an "inadequate" Ofsted report. The report states that the main problems are caused by the teachers not able to deal with the language problems. We have over 20 languages used in the school with English being the second language for most of the puplis. Many when they arrive in the school speak no English at all and the other kids translate the lessons for them. Obviously progress is a bit slow.  The problem is caused by the government's total lack of supervision of the immigration issue but the school is left to sort it out.

I'm sick to death of reading these sanctimonious preaching Guardian readers.. a paper so far ensconced up its own arse of politically correct smugness it still hasnt located the light switch. In old issues of the “Guardian”  according to David Kynaston’s masterly history, Austerity Britain 1945-1951, the paper opposed the creation of the NHS. This was on the morally repugnant grounds that free healthcare for all would ‘eliminate selective elimination’, leading to an increase in the numbers of congenitally deformed and feckless people. In other words, the Guardian wanted the weak to be left to die.You don’t hear much from Guardian writers today, when they are attacking other papers for embarrassing episodes in their long-distant past, about their own employer’s more recent, disgusting flirtation with Nazi-style eugenics.

The people that are incandescent with rage regarding lack of empathy for immigrants are always the same.. expressing their moral outrage on twitter sitting in 16 bedroom mansions but how many refugees are staying with them I wonder? Practice what you preach in life or don't preach at all is my motto

Studyform try googling Lily Allen, Gary Linekar for starters. Of course the NHS is crumbling due to huge influx of health tourists/migrants and the argument of "the health service would suffer if migrants left as they make up so much of the work force is BS". Native British students cant get jobs on these shores or even university places in this country due to the huge numbers arriving here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4394302/770-straight-students-t-place-medical-school.html

"Yet almost 6,000 foreign doctors were hired in the UK last year, despite the fact overseas staff are four times more likely to be struck off for blunders than British counterparts." No real wonder is it when the basic level of English in many cases is so poor along with general education but if it cuts cost and allows more tolerance happy days I suppose.

'The NHS will collapse without them' mantra gets up my proverbial!!!  If doctor and nursing training hadn't been slashed over decades and more investment, then we wouldn't have to go abroad for (by the way cheaper) medics and nurses(We don't have to train them - GET IT!!).
Additional shortages creating even more scandalous agency inflated payouts to cover gaps.
Of course all these health tourists and millions of extra people have put a strain on ALL services. There's 4.5million foreign workers here (many low paid).  Want to have a stab at the illegals 1.1 mill  1. 5 ?  who knows??They have no idea. 
How many of the Dewsbury lot suck off the welfare teat?  Many not working. Many of the women stay at home not working - on and on they go - it is treasure island to them.
Come to blighty and nice person will give you house and money.

to try and simplify things for the likes of studyform he,s a now everyday occurence in the world of work and jobs that i live in
imagine 20 eastern europeans tied to a gangmaster going into the luvies world of the bbc,sky and saying these 20 who share a house sleep in the garage,shed,2 to a bed etc,etc, are prepared to read that autocue for 18 grand a year instead of the 50 - 100 grand we,re paying you,would the luvie sky people say no problem its the price of globalisation ,i,ll go away retrain to find a job that pays for my house,lifestyle etc,you do that go back to sed sky studio and mr murdoch says ive 20 eastern europeans working here now it would help if you could speak their language so you could integrate better with them,by the way the pensions, travelling expenses, break time,dinner time,training ,safety etc you used to get have gone because these lovely eastern europeans are happy to work  without any of the above,but you can still have an interview to get your old job back if you want,
laugh if you want but i can take you to a dozen places near me where the above has happened ,ive even been paid off on a job last year because i didnt work for the same agency as the eastern europeans ,so was told it was easy to insure one firm than 2 ,although i and the agency i was on for were on the job 1st,thats code for we dont bother insuring the eastern europeans because they dont report any accidents,injuries, neasr misses ,anyway

If you could type like English is your 1st language and not like an immigrant, I might be able to respond sensibly.

boxing,
There is hardly a mass of people 'INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE'. You are searching for opposition for the sake of someone to argue with. 
Or alternatively inventing them, just so that you can be in the righteous indignation club with your virtual buddies.
The Daily Mail will never be a trusted source for anything. Not just because (and I reference the history lesson about the Guardian mentioned earlier) of the Pro Nazi, Pro German stance it took in the 1930's.... (Still a stance taken by some of its readers).
and YOU tell ME to have a word with myself!

In any case, I'm not arguing with anything. Just pointing out, that NO-ONE MUCH IS!!!!!!!!!!
