Hard to calculate, hard to count.

The UK government messed up. Tit has no idea who is entering the country, who stays and who leaves. Currently 200,000 more people move into UK to stay than leave each year. Such large figure and yet it screwed up by more. After announcing that the amount of immigrants to UK increased by 800,000 during the past 10 years, it fell short off the real figure by 300,000 & it was 1.1 million. Later on it apologized for its mistake publicly; the Work and Pensions Secretary Peter Hain announced the new result basically during Tory leader David Cameron's speech on immigration (on October 30). Here Cameron said immigration makes it difficult for the government to deliver its visions of opportunity, responsibility and security. He disagreed with Gordon Brown's (the Prime Minister's) views and thinks that Brown can not handle the immigration problem properly. According to the UK Office for National Statistics, the UK's population will rise by 11 million (to 71 million) by 2031, on current trends. That might cause higher pressure for the citizens; problems with housing, education, transportation system, energy and water supplies and healthcare. Cameron also reminded of the increasing single-person household problem. The trends of divorcing, family break-ups and later marriage spread from the US all the way to the UK and are along with ageing a serious threat for the society. He votes for enforcing the Border Police & for controlling the people crossing the UK border more precisely plus tracking and removing the immigrants. But the UK leaders should not be surprised by the amount of people wanting to "move in", that is only one of the amazing results an advanced, open economy brings along. Mr. Cameron might come up with a complete vision of UK visa pretty soon.
