They start this article off saying the UK Conservative goverment are calling for limits.

The political system in this country, backed by their lapdogs in the media makes me sick.

I go out for the morning and it's all changed

The Home Office has this morning released figures on the number of people entering the UK, which show that 427,000 people have come to the UK to work from the 8 accession states since May 2004.

Reuters reports that a Downing Street spokesman said yesterday that Britain has deferred making any firm decision on Bulgarian and Romanian immigration until later in the year. A leader in the Express interprets this as a “climb-down” from an announcement made on Friday by Trade Secretary Alistair Darling, who claimed there would be no “open door” to immigration from the two new EU members.

Frank Field on the Today programme called for quotas on the number of people coming to work not just from Romania and Bulgaria, but from the states that joined in 2004.

The front page of the Independent carries the headline “Lies, damned lies and immigration”, and reports that experts have warned that “the debate over east European immigration is degenerating into ‘hysteria’”. The independent Immigration Advisory Service denounced the “ill-informed comment… of those who have not examined the facts carefully enough before making wild statements”. Former CBI Director Sir Digby Jones argues in a comment piece that “we in Britain have grown complacent. We have to get off our backsides and do the jobs that need doing… You cannot blame migrants if they are prepared to come here and work for wages which, though they may seem low to us, are a lot higher than in their own country. They come here with the skills that we no longer seem to be able to provide our own workforce.” Jones goes on to argue that certain conditions, such as speaking English, having a skill and taking part in the transparent economy, should nonetheless be required of migrant workers.
