Migration to UK more than double government target

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Net migration to the UK remains more than double the government's target of fewer than 100,000 people a year, according to new figures.
In the 12 months to last September, net migration - the number arriving in the UK to stay for more than a year minus those leaving for good - was 252,000.
The figures reflect a drop of just 3,000 on the previous year.
The government has pledged to cut it to "tens of thousands" by 2015 and Labour said it was "failing badly".

Cue the odd closet racist throwing their two cents in...obviously expect an in depth discussion around the whole issue of immigration and targets, just hope it doesn't devolve into racist slurs or accusations of the same..
We live in hope.

Good. I love living in a diverse country

The best thing about living in London is the wealth of food, culture and mixing with different people - I find it ridiculous when other people (who aren't even slightly racist) are taken aback by how it's 'normal' to have black friends, Asian friends etc. Ironically, the worst thing about immigration is not anything to do with the diversity, but the casual racism/outright racism that occurs sometimes really puts a negative spin on everything and leads to a lack of integration of some immigrant communities, which is a real shame.
