#1 I know a number of British expatriates over here in South Korea. To a man they're totally disgusted with the UK government and its policies on immigration and taxation. None of them plan on returning to the UK when their contracts here are up. These are educated, intelligent people; the kind of people a country can't afford to lose. Britain appears to be trading people like this for would-be dole cases from Islamabad and Kingston.

#2 Getting out while they still can.

Sad, really, what has happened to Britain just in my lifetime.

#3 Not counting the tax evading 'artists' who take up residency in the Netherlands.

#4 37 per cent were not in work???

Does that mean 37 percent of the immigrants don't work? Does that mean they're gonna go immediately on the dole? Are the Brits insane? Does that mean the educated, intelligent Britons are leaving because their country is being overrun with low-class, low-skilled islamic bumpkins? Please tell me it isn't so.

#5 EH6222,
"Does that mean ... bumpkins?"

Yes.

"Please tell me it isn't so."

Wish I could.

#6 "Not in work" may also mean housewives and elderly parents, Elmereter Hupash6222. But likely it means at least some came straight from the madrassah to Heathrow airport... where they signed up for resettlement funds, funds for training so that they'll be able to get a proper job, support for the wife and children and elderly parents, housing assistance... Whereas those emigres "not in work" are retired, so their government pensions go directly to supporting the economy of their new host country. Once again the British pound (or perhaps it's the euro now?) is helping support the world's economy.

#7 I've read blogs by people from Britain's most recent class of graduating doctors. The matchmaking scheme to connect them to jobs is quite Orwellian. A lot of them are considering emigrating.

I'll have to find the link; it was featured on a recent "Grand Rounds" blog carnival.
