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.

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.
