Almost 26,000 'boat' people this year into the UK.
I'd estimate another 250 to 350 thousand here legally.
Lets go for a rather conservative figure of 300,000 migrants into the UK this year then. That's 300,000 that need food & drink, power for heating & cooking plus a roof over their head to do it in. Jobs, benefits, or student loans to be able to have those things, with schooling and health care when required.
How any was it last year . . 300,000 also?
Next years estimate anyone?
Close to a million extra people now aren't we . . . now look at some of the headlines lately regarding shortages and price rises.
However, it's not bad news, far from it. Economic experts have revealed that migrants contribute ££thousands££ more to the UK than people born & bred here, so we're on a winner, we just can't see it
