Referendum on whether we should stay in The EU and surrender
Hi,
IF you had any doubt that a Referendum on whether we should stay in The EU and surrender our borders to EU control or whether we should control our own borders maintaining our liberty and national Sovereignty is just starting to warm up:
from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) - you need to dig a bit for the figures, but they're all there:
There was a net increase of 188,000 people in work between April and June 2010 compared to January and March. Of those, the number of British-born people employed rose by 41,000 (0.2%) and while those born outside the UK went up by 145,000 (3.9%). Compared with the same period in 2009 the figures show an overall 101,000 increase in employment. Over this period the number of British-born people with jobs fell by 15,000 (-0.1%) while the number for those born outside the UK went up by 114,000 (3.1%). Even those figures for British-born people includes a percentage of last-generation immigrants.
Also:
Comparing April to June 2010 with the same period in 2009 shows an even more startling picture, because while the number of British-born workers fell by 15,000 over the year to 25.08 million, the number of those in jobs who were born abroad rose 114,000 to 3.85 million – up from just over two million when Labour came to power in 1997. That meant they more than accounted for the 101,000 overall increase in the number of people in employment compared with last year.
Finally:
Previous figures from the ONS show that in October 1997, British-born workers made up 92.5 per cent of the workforce. That had fallen to 87.1 per cent by the same period in 2009, while the proportion of jobs held by foreign-born immigrant workers shot up from 7.5 per cent to 12.9 per cent, nearly one in eight of every job in Britain.
Yes, statistics can be played with in many ways, but I think these, which are about as basic as you can get, show the true position.
