The 60:40 split on the average tells you a lot about human nature too.The talk of Italy today reminded me of this which I saw last week and found interesting

Aside from Japan (very little natural immigration) and Belgium (very little demand for immigration) aren't we by far the smallest country on that list?I think that it is interesting that we are the only country to have immigration as the top concern when there are many countries on that list with comparable or greater levels of immigration

Would be careful making leaps based upon this data:The interesting point about that is that in the lower half ( on the wrong track) are the majority of countries in the EU. As i have thought the EU is a busted flush and the people are begiing to wake up to that.
We got plenty of room for more, Balmoral, Sandringham & Windsor are only used now and then.
Would be careful making leaps based upon this data:
top four are China/ Saudi/ India / Argentina not sure we wish to be at the top with those countries. This is based upon expectations so it could mean those in Europe expect more rather than get less. Perhaps the French are just more likely to complain....
Not saying that your statement that EU is a busted flush is true or false but I am saying that this chart does not offer any proof.
To a point i do agree with you, however if some use stats to point in the direction of their thoughts/hopes ( and there are one or two in this thread which do) then they should be dismissed or followed with the same amount of skepticism.
More state handouts!
That's non-EU, controlled immigration though, right? My understanding of the anti-immigration sentiment is that they are concerned that we have no controls or caps over EU immigration.I think Belgium actually has quite a lot of immigration - from its former colonies (Congo etc), north Africa and Turkey.
I was wondering though if Britain is more densely populated than most (same population as France but 1/4 the landmass etc.)? IIRC south-east England and the area around Brussels are the two most densely populated parts of Europe.
What do you call the opposite of gentrification?We got plenty of room for more, Balmoral, Sandringham & Windsor are only used now and then.
