I think 2m is probably a huge over exageration (personally that is, I'm sure I'll be proved wrong by someone on this list). This figure doesn't take into account people leaving Britain to go and work elsewhere. And I wish the term immigrant wasn't used I bloody hate it! Why can't anyone just say 2m people will be coming to Britain in the next decade. The word immigrant makes all these people sound like scroungers..... and a large majority (I won't say all as again I'm sure someone will prove me wrong or shout me down) of people aren't!!
These stats and quotes are a terrible state of affairs, no-one can predict, only guess at how many people will come over here for whatever reason and the current figures used by the Government, as a scare tactic, are highly exagerated.
