Also don't forget these are Govt figures which are usually 'massaged' to err on the side of looking good (or not as bad) for the Govt. !!

Yes, a lot of immigration has taken place, but some of these immigrants will be paying in as well.
Maybe these data paint a rosy picture, but I am coming up with some data of a somewhat trustworthy source. That beats arguing over gut feelings.
If you can find other statistics (preferably not taken from the BNP site
), please do...
