With the nation in a political debate about which Election Party to vote for I got inspired to research into the Immigration issue that is the centre of each party.
In 2007, net immigration to the UK was 237,000, a rise of 46,000 on 2006. This number had risen dramatically since 2000. The overwhelming majority of new citizens come from Asia (40%) and Africa (32%), the largest three groups being people from Pakistan, India and Somalia.
BBC News Article
In a podcast on Friday, Mr Brown said net migration into the UK fell from 237,000 in 2007 to 163,000 in 2008 and provisionally 147,000 in 2009.
But the head of UK Statistics Authority agreed with a Tory complaint that he had made inaccurate comparisons.
Downing Street said it accepted the statistics had been "unclear".
But it insisted that Mr Brown had since corrected them.
My card designs are not about single people out individually but to looks at Immigration the scale as what it is, the possible outcomes Immigration will have if it spirals out of control. The designs will cover issues such as identity, scale, multitude & heritage.
