Fair enough. I don't see it on BBC or any of the british sources I read, and you'd think it'd be a pretty neutral topic, since the data is published by the central govt.

It’s probably the main reason Tories got obliterated the last election. After it came out we had 1m net immigration (up from prior 500k which had already 2x’d the normal 250k net).

Well the BBC mostly are reporting and have to be very careful what they say due to neutrality laws governing them. However, tune in to Question Time and you will hear these voices.
