The late (and I hasten to add unlamented) Dr Joseph Goebbels is alleged to have said that the bigger the lie the more people are willing to accept it. We can only assume, therefore, that the Home Office scribes who produced October’s well-publicised study on the economics of immigration, and came up with the fiction that it was a £6 billion bonus for Britain, looked to Goebells as their mentor.

The Government’s fiction, eagerly accepted by the Cameroons and the Lib-Dems, was based on the fact that as 12.5% of our work force over the past year is now foreign and average output growth was 2.7 %, therefore immigrants contributed 15 to 20% of this growth which accounts for £6 billion for the year.

What the government brainwashers want you to really believe is that we are all £6 billion better of because we have imported half a million Somalis, 80% of whom do not work; half a million Bangladeshis, 60% of whom do not work; countless thousands of Pakistani peasants, most of whom are unemployable; hundreds of thousands of Africans, who mainly consider work to be beneath their dignity; nearly a million East Europeans, who do work but are paid £5 an hour for picking our fruit and veg or up to £10 an hour as useful tradesmen but undercutting our own people. Even ignoring the drain all these immigrants place upon housing, health, schools and the nation’s infrastructure, are we really supposed to believe their presence gives us an economic surplus!?

The Channel 4 documentary “Immigrants – the Inconvenient Truth” in late September, presented by Jon Snow (certainly no ‘right-winger’) surely disclosed enough evidence to show that most immigrant communities were a “debit on Britain ’s balance sheet’? The programme wasn’t attacked for nothing by all the usual race equality champions and Trevor Phillips and his CRE stormtroopers
