    A generous offer, but wouldn't that take them away from the day job of peeing on the local Malt crops?

    They have been asked to stop that since.

    I'm organising a search party for the Romulans if anyone is interested.

    Apparently millions were going to arrive after the New Year and they've not been seen. I'm starting to get a bit worried.

    They're all camping in Bantex' back yard.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    There's been at least one Bulgarian on Wimbledon Common since 1968. :)

    Apparently the number of Romanians and Bulgarians in the UK has dropped by 4000 since the restrictions were removed:

    So much for tabloid headlines.

    the article says:

    there are 140,000 working in the UK
    that is 29,000 more than a year ago
    but 4,000 less than in Jan 2014


    that shows (please tick which one(s) you consider to be the right answer)

    - that there are no Romanian is UK
    or
    -there hasn't been any restriction on them coming for many years
    or
    -the figures are fixed

    Obviously, these numbers are fudged by the government to annoy Mr. Farage.

    It's B of course - the sensible knew that:)

    Not quite the choices the media were expecting us to be faced with.

    What I want to know is why there are only 140,000 working in the UK - there are meant to be millions. Bloody foreigners snubbing us like that!
