What you mean that campaigning publication that likes to slag off the rich for avoiding tax but isn't so different.

Considering that immigrants tend to be healthier and younger it doesn't have to follow that they have. Even with the relatively high amount of immigration we've had these immigrants would probably need to be less healthy than the existing population to have a significant impact.

Are you suggesting that an extra 350,000 people in the UK every year isn't going to significantly impact adversely on NHS waiting times? Has there been extra funding to cope with all that? It doesn't much matter whether it's migrants or not but the fact is that most of the UK's rapid population growth over the last decade and more has been due to the migration which New Labour vastly underestimated and higher birth rates within immigrant communities.
