    DAK how accurate the migration numbers are? IIRC the Tories in opposition used to complain that we weren't even counting how many were arriving and departing.

    More people per house doesn't always equate with more income.

    There are exceptions.

    You rent per room or per person in a room to maximise your income.

    A couple = £120 or 3 people at £50 each.

    Hate to say I told you so, but..... Yep, I told you so.
    Still, Cameron's pledge to reduce migration must be more than a meaningless soundbite, right?
    Ooops.
    Never mind though, those Eastern Europeans will all be heading home, what with the cuts, and unemployment soaring, etc.
    After all, the bears on here have been promising that since 2007....
    Oh dear.
    But that's OK, it just means more Brits will be leaving. Us Brits must be heading overseas in droves, fleeing high property prices and recession.
    Or something.
    D'oh....
    Better build some more houses quick then.

    The poverty of the bull's case is probably never weaker or more disreputable than when it comes to the subject of immigration.

    The tone of this article will strike a chord with millions of Brits who have been alarmed about their prospects for schooling, jobs, houses and public services. For different reasons, both New Labour and the Tories have gone against the concerns and wishes of the electorate.
