that was the media scare story late last year, but I have not heard any more about it since then?

nope!
That was just a media crap! I still see thousands of Poles on the streets but no Bulgarians or Romanians

The really alarming thing is that nobody knows, or isn't letting on if they do know. Of course there's nothing wrong with Bulgarians, Romanians or any other nationality. However, I've visited various towns in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire recently and I reckon that the proportion of people on the streets at weekends who are from Eastern Europe varies from 5% -75% with an average of at least 25%. Of course migrant workers will tend to gather in towns, will tend to be around at weekends and will, perhaps, be more noticeable, so perhaps there aren't as many as it may seem at times. But, from my experience, there must be many millions of them here already. So let's stop pretending there are only a few thousand, or that this is somehow a racial issue, and talk about whether we want or need millions of extra workers.

You are right - they didn't. Just look around and count the Poles you know, and then the Bulgarians and Romanians you know.
PS. Couldn't help the comment - soldier 1, I don't know what you are reading and what time it refers to, but if the figure was correct there would hardly be anyone left to work in Bulgaria and Romania. FYI, the working force in Bulgaria is not more than 3 mln altogether, for Roumania it would would be roughly 9-10 mln. A lack of 600 000 would not go unnoticed:)

Yes, I read a report the other day that over 600,000 came and are still coming to join those who were already here. Obviously the government won't tell us that.
Also the report said that the governments of those countries were worried that the exodus was damaging their countries.

no matter if you help immigration or do not help it i imagine maximum persons would agree that the present equipment we've is in disarray. Like your self and prefer many those who're worried about immigration it has no longer some thing to do with race. those those who at present accuse those who're worried about mass immigration as racist are in trouble-free terms exhibiting that their arguments are turning out to be a turning out to be type of susceptible hostile to a turning out to be scepticism to mass immigration. My important situation to mass immigration is an environmental one, yet as you're saying there are a number of of causes to be worried. i imagine we basically want to end immigration or no less than very much shrink it. at the same time as it is composed of Europe, we want to paintings with our continental companions in reducing the non eu immigration. through declaring this i am going to at present be accused of being racist, besides the undeniable fact that the easy reality is that eu beginning prices are declining, at the same time as its the non eu populations that are turning out to be at an effective p.c...

Look at the figures for pickpocketing and similar offences in the Central London area the percentage increase is enormous and the majority of people arrested are from Eastern Europe where it is an occupation.
