A huge rise in immigration from eastern Europe next year could cause chaos in schools, hospitals and welfare services, according to a leaked report.

It also warns that ministers may be forced to abandon their refusal to grant council houses and welfare benefits to new arrivals who do not work, creating an extra "pull factor" attracting further immigrants.

The arrival of hundreds of thousands of new arrivals is already pushing down wages for workers, with potentially "serious implications"

for social discord, the document says.
It reveals that government departments have been ordered to draw up emergency plans to deal with pressure on public services from an expected "step change" in immigration levels when Romania and Bulgaria join the EU next year.

The report, written by junior Home Office Minister Joan Ryan and called Migration from Eastern Europe: Impact On Public Services And Community Cohesion, was leaked to the Mail on Sunday.

Ms Ryan says many more English teachers will be needed to deal with a huge rise in the number of eastern European children unable to speak the language.

East European patients are also already "blocking" hospital beds because they are ineligible for social care and benefits if they leave.

Meanwhile, towns and cities where large numbers of new immigrants have settled are already demanding millions of pounds of extra money to cope.

The document, marked "restricted", is dated July 19, the day after Ms Ryan submitted another report saying that 45,000 "undesirable" criminal migrants from Romania and Bulgaria may settle in Britain next year.

The number of immigrants to Britain since Poland and seven other east European countries joined the EU two years ago is now estimated at 600,000, compared with the Government's original prediction of between 5,000 and 13,000 a year. Ministers expect this number to rise by up to another 140,000 next year.

Israel bombs sites in Lebanon because they say this is where Hezballah missiles are originating but if the missiles came from within Israel would they bomb their own buildings and perhaps their own citizens? If not then why is it ok to do that in Lebanon?

I have some no of team lets say 7 (from Team A - G). I want to arrange the teams in a manner that each team get atleast 8 games and distribution should be proportionate i.e. If a game is between A and B repeated then it should give next weightage to C and D then E and F and so on.

Every team should get at least 8 games and to complete the matrix 1 or 2 team can have more than 8 games but main concern is equality.

Can anyone help me.

I will soon be starting on the pill and I was wondering if anyone had had an unwanted pregnancy, even if they take their pill perfectly. I'm talking the pill being the only contraceptive used. Also, is there any time in one's cycle when they're on the pill when one is more susceptible to pregnancy than others? Thank you.

I work as a community pharmacist in a drug store. I have been here a couple of months now. The manager is very distant and the counter staff gossip and back stab a lot. We start at 9am and finish at 5.30pm. I was asked a few months back if I could stay until 10pm doing a stock taking. I said I could stay until 8pm. However I did not get paid or get time in lieu (the staff and maangement did). I have been asked again and I have been truthful and refused as I am not being paid or getting time back. The store manager has said it is expected as I am classed as the management team. However he got his time in lieu back by coming into work later or other mangement leaving work earlier. As a pharmacist I can not do that as the pharmacy would need to close. They will not pay me as I earn a professional high salary and they will not get cover for me to get the time back. I can feel people have started to talk ill of me now ...but I feel I am being taken advantage off. If this happens next time

This is not to incite hate or violence but to question the way the press and electronic media works. When the 7 bombs killed 200 people in Mumbai there was not half as much fuss made as is now that people are being killed in Lebanon. Are the lives of Indians worth less? My view is all this is lipservice to the Islamic world for fear of the oil taps being turned off. The poor Indians have no such valuable commodity that the world is so heavily dependant on. The truth please.
