The number of Eastern Europeans who have come to work in Britain since EU
expansion is more than a third higher than previously thought, a survey
indicated today. An extra 115,000 Poles above the 230,000 included in
official figures may be working here, research commissioned by the BBC's
Newsnight programme suggested.
According to latest Government figures, 374,555 from the eight nations -
including 228,235 Poles - registered for work here between May 2004 and the
end of March this year.
Two more Eastern European countries are due to join the EU on January 1 next
year. The Government has not yet indicated if workers from Romania and
Bulgaria will enjoy full working rights, as with those eight former
Communist countries which joined on May 1 2004.
One think-tank has suggested about 56,000 Romanian and Bulgarian workers
will come to Britain during 2007.

They weren't "Communist Countries". The Communists took power because
when the war ended we didn't have the bottle to save them. We could
certainly have taken Berlin and more before the Russians had we been
arsed.
During the Cold War/Soviet era, without exception they all struggled
valliantly against Soviet domination, and in the end Soviet domination
crumbled.
For the sake of having a united Europe, and not having ever again to
fight a war because a jumped up tyrant like Hitler, Mussolini, or
Chausescu thinks he can scoop up lumps of territory, or resources for
himself, we now have an agreement that we live in a "Common European
Homeland".
It's all done and dusted.
I think your time would be better employed directed to the abuses of
the asylum system, AKA the Asian Immigration scams, "Once you have
ben there two years you can sign on and won't have to work" <quote
from BBC concealed camera program.

Yeah, live with it.
The likelyhood is they'll start going back once it dawns on them that
the wages here are 15x back home, but costs here are at a similar
premium. They can make money here if they live in a shared dorm, and
eat by grazing where they work. What they save could, at the moment,
buy them a farm back home in Ca. 5 years.
That situation won't last for ever, but for the moment
"Harmonisation" is the name of the game.
DG
Well, like every other EU-17 country except Ireland and Denmark, we should
have allowed them to "harmonise" without being allowed to come here and
steal our jobs !
So multiply by about 40 on the basis of the last estimate re Poles and
so on.....
Yes, you get the idea ;(
>> They weren't "Communist Countries". The Communists took power because
Well, no good setting ourselves up as the soft touch of Europe.
But my work colleagues tell me there is a big influx of Polish
painter/decorators in Sweden , and a big proportion of HGV's in
Holland (10's of percents) are registered in Eastern Europe.
What I say is "This far and no more". We'll at least get a stable
Europe out of it, that's more than big enough to stick 2 fingers up at
the USA. notwithstanding Kow-Towing by Blair to Bush, and by Prescott
to anybody with any money at all, 8 visits to Texas {an 9 hour plane
ride away} to discuss William Wilberforce, if you don't mind.
They think we don't know what's going on !
No more Asian or African trained doctors or nurses etc. Kick the BMA
(who have a stranglehold over the supply of places in medical schools)
into touch, and in future we train our own doctors etc according to
the need in the country. It's the only way we will have security of
supply.
DG
There's a lot of truth in what you say, Derek - especially in relation to
being able to stand up to Moronica :)
According to the latest available figures, for 2004, the overall migration
picture saw 359,000 people leave the UK while 582,000 settled in the UK.

Hang on - in another thread you said you *didn't* have a problem with EU
immigrants...

I suggest you note my use of the term "EU-17" in that and other preceeding
posts.

This is a fucking outrage - the Slavs are stealing our birthright from right
under our noses.
"Chris Carter has worked in the family hardware shop in Shirley since he was
a boy and is nervous about voicing his concerns.
He says: "When I am cycling to work in the morning, it is very unusual to
hear anyone speaking English. I think it is getting a bit out of hand but if
you dare to say so, you lay yourself open to being accused of being a
racist. I like the Polish people but it is all too much."
A woman serving in a cake shop bitterly claims her elderly mum had to wait
longer for a council flat because the immigrants got preferential housing.
Others mutter that the newcomers are a drain on the state. "
Damn right ! Thanks for posting this link, AU.
WTF is the difference? The only relevant letters are the 'E' & the 'U'!

The "difference" is that the recent Slavic incomers from 2004 have no place
here.
> The only relevant letters are the 'E' & the 'U'!
No, the relevant characters are "EU-17".
Next !
