Immigrants settle in Britain at the rate of 575,000 a year, and have settled at that rate since 2004.

This is more than one a minute day and night for the last 7 years.

Where did you get that piece of information?

Mine is that the immigration inflow to the UK was expected to decrease from roughly 220 000 to 180 000 in 2011: see

You are overlookeing the main point, which is that 220 000 immigrants settled in Britain every year before 2011 on the average, not 575 000 as SDP asserted. JR

My figures come from the British government, the Office for National Statistics.

The 575,000 new settlers a year is the Gross figure for settlers.

A number or British people emigrate each year.

If you deduct the people leaving from the people arriving your get the Net figure which is the figure you are stating. But even if you use the Net figure the first year of the Conservative Coalition government saw the net figure rise to the highest ever number for net immigration..

The Lib/Lab/Com believe in an open immigration policy to all 500 million EU citizens of the European Union. The so called immigration cap does not apply to immigration from the European Union. It is a very loose fitting cap.
