Recently, I had the "pleasure" of being on Question Time with UKIP leader Nigel Farage. He claimed there were 80,000 Romanians in Britain, and that the Metropolitan Buy Bee Pollen Diet Police had arrested 30,000 Romanian in the last five years. This smear masquerading as fact has often been repeated - and is effective at making a point.
it's important to acknowledge the contribution immigrants make to Britain. The NHS could not operate without immigrant workers. Our social Slim Pomegranate care system and our education system depend significantly on immigrant workers.

If you measure this contribution in financial terms, there is a significant net benefit thanks to tax and national insurance contributions made by migrants.And yet the picture presented just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Overall, they make a net contribution to the UK economy of £3 billion. And because they are often young, healthy, and skilled, their use of public Pai You Guo Slim Capsule services is limited - much lower than that of the general population.
So where is this attack on immigrants originating from? Politically, the answer is clear - and it has a pint in one hand and a cigar in the other.
