For me the big issue will be that the whole campaign will be like this, with lies or porkies at least told, misinformation & fear.

National insurance number applications (NINOS) do not and never have matched the number of migrants entering this country ,because of time lag between a migrant entering the country and applying for a NI means they are notoriously unreliable as a way to measure immigrant numbers.Also in recent years there have been a number of government initiatives aimed at getting people of the black economy and working legally ,these would include migrants working illegally at your kebab shop to the 50,000 Romanies granted NI numbers to try to get them to work legally,these are people who have been in the country for years ,some even born here.There is also NI fraud where multiple applications are made
