Today's Daily Mail claims that:

"More than six million Eastern Europeans have travelled to Britain since since the EU's borders were thrown open to them, new figures have shown. :x :evil:

The figure is ten times higher than official estimates of the numbers of Poles and migrants from neighbouring countries who are thought to have settled here in the past three years.

It suggests the real number of migrants from eastern europe who have stayed to live and work in Britain could be much higher than the 600,000 estimate that has been acknowledged by ministers. :evil:
