tatsblisters 9,538 Posted Friday at 06:37 Report Share Posted Friday at 06:37 Latest migration figures for the UK don't make for good reading ffs and the blame lies at the previous government's door though i think it will rise even more under Labour and i believe it would have been higher if we had still been a member of the EU.
