MigrationWatch Figures Wrong!

The government has secretly calculated there are about 500,000 illegal immigrants in Britain. This figure has been compiled by Home Office officials and is far higher tha figures published by the independent, non-political MigrationWatch.
The research was ordered by Phoney Blair more than a year ago "as a matter of urgency" following a no.10 summit on immigration, a confidential Whitehall memo revealed.
The existence of this estimate was confirmed this week-end by Prof. John Salt, director of the Migration Research Unit at University College, London, who was commissioned by the Home Office to study the number of illegal migrants.
Prof. Salt, a world expert on immigration, said his estimate - provided to the Home Office - was between 450,000 and 500,000 illegal immigrants.
"If I were in a court of law and was asked what was my best estimate, thats what I would say," he said.
So despite denials from Des Browne, the immigration minister, and Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, there is an official figure known to the government - of course its too embarrassing for them to admit it!
It just underlines why people are so concerned over this subject, their own government go into a state of denial and cover-up knowing full well the figures they have on illegal immigrants is extremely high!
Its a pity this government can't be a bit more open and honest and trust the electorate, the only trouble is the electorate don't trust the government!

thats politics for ya...regardless of party there'll always be lies
hypothetically speaking...if the tories were in power now they'd probably say there are 750,000 illegal immigrants just to boost their fear factor policies,even though the real figure is 500,000 (even if that is the real number which i doubt myself...)
Not a very good cover up though, the guy they asked to do it just told the newspapers..
Untill you can actually put together a decent arguement with at least ONE source piss off.
Er this story was widely reported in the media, thus i do not think it requires a source.
I knew about this story before i saw the post at least.........
And it is kind of the general way of things here, you provide a source.
If it was anyone else then I'd probably be more easy going but Rich Kid never provides sources for anything.
No. I frankly dont really care what figure is magically thought up for illegal immigrants, I fail to see what difference it makes.
What annoyes me, and you have been warned about from Jim is you not providing a source. You say this is a big news story, then provide a source you muppet.
Where have I denied anything?
I fail to see where you mean at all. But going backwards and forwards with you is pointless.
On with the topic.
So there are X amount here, granted thats not ideal, I'd quite like to see us do what the Spanish did, just get them to come forward and we could grab loads more tax payers.
Don't try and act like you're better than me just because daddy paid for you to get into eton.
The article
If he wasn't so inept he could have spammed us with at least another 5 posts in the time saved by C+Ping from the source......
:thumb:
It could just be me, I'll admit that. But SOD doing someone else's research for them.
What do you think to the Spanish example of allowing those illegally here to stay and pay tax Rich Kid?
Immigration cover up denied
Is it easier to measure illegal immigrants under Nu-Labour than under the Tories?
And if yes, why?
We should be told.
Now, now - we all know that Rich Kid is a well brought up parasite with impeccable manners. He just doesn't quite get how the google thang works.....
LIES, LIES, LIES.
Well he is promising border control, which we all know is impossible.
