simmo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Immigration from the EU will add the equivalent of a city as big as Manchester to the UK’s population every four years, a report warns today. The study predicts net migration from inside Europe will be 130,000 every year if current trends continue. This total includes 50,000 Romanians and Bulgarians and 40,000 from Poland and the seven other Eastern European nations which joined the EU in 2004. On January 1, Britain lifted all restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK. No figures are yet available for how many have arrived since that date.

calNgary Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 With schools and health services struggling now, i do wonder how the country can handle more people without those already there suffering more, not to mention the lack of work for everyone.

Paul1Perth Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I wonder how many Brits go to live and work with in Europe though. I'm thinking of France and Spain wonder how it balances out? I think a lot of Brits retire to France and Spain. I've seen a couple of documentaries about a lot of working age giving it a try and having to go back to the UK in the last few years, due to the downturn in jobs in Spain and France. Like everywhere else I guess they are going to look after their own first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Wasn't there that article saying they were going to flock here and the flights were all sold out blah blah. Then the news filmed the arrivals on the day or second day the rules changed and there were like three Romanians or Bulgarians that came lol I remember seeing that.

Biggest concentration outside of France I believe. A French comedy filmed was even made there. Almost no English spoken. That's in the natural history area. Great place.

Yeah I think the bus guy said it was the biggest concentration. I heard quite a few French people talk around there too.

zk2102 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 'Londoners' in the true sense of the word are a dying breed. There are fewer & fewer 'white British' Londoners now than ever before. When I look at my kids friendship groups less than half of them are 'British'. I'm not even sure that it's a bad thing. These kids are from mainly Eastern Europe but they integrate well into our society and their parents are for the most part hard working and lovely. What did bother me though was when I worked in an inner City school. 80% were from ethnic backgrounds and 60% of the families were claiming income support. Now that really bugs me!

Stop your whinging the UK needs immigration for the economy to continue to grow and to feed the pockets of the fat cats, until a liveable minimum wage is introduced to get some of those who are better off on benefits back to work the UK will need EU migration, we have loads of space start building cities in the spare countryside loads of room in places like Norfolk.
