Well they know who are assigned NI numbers and the discrepancy between those numbers and the 'official' figures was what the story was referencing.

... and 'that story' amounts to one tiny piece of the whole in/out argument. None of that alters the fact that we don't have a clue how many people are here, legally or otherwise, and as long as we remain in the EU will be unable to stop migration from within the EU, whether it be from existing member states (including those who may be forced to claim asylum elsewhere then decide to come here) or the new entrants the EU seems intent on courting in spite of the problems we're currently witnessing. Cameron's so called 'negotiation' about free movement lasted about 10 nanoseconds from what I can see, which leads me to believe he had no real desire to tackle the problem but had to go through the motions having failed so miserably to achieve the immigration target he set himself.

... and the UK clearly isn't going to be able to prevent it from happening.
The only thing which has a chance of stopping this ugly EU behemoth is the UK leaving and a number of other countries then following suit but it's a big ask of net beneficiaries to bite the hand which feeds them.
