Net Migration.

The Government's attempt to slash net migration has suffered a serious setback today after official figures revealed the first increase in more than a year because too few people left Britain.
Home Secretary Theresa May and Prime Minister David Cameron want to reduce the difference between those leaving and entering the UK from non-EU countries to less than 100,000 before 2015.
But the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed a net flow of 176,000 migrants came to the UK in the year to December 2012, up from 153,000 in the year to September 2012, ending five consecutive quarters of decline.

Yet even reducing net immigration is a scam as explained many times on this Blog.
Only if all the people arriving were immediately useful to a vastly overcrowded UK with heavy unemployment, overburdened social services of every type, a shortage of school places and housing, would this have any merit.
Only if those arriving were bringing in needed skills and those leaving were emigrating to avoid penury would this kind of thinking have either balance or value.
By and large, those leaving are people with a large disposable income or, at the other end of the scale, are part of the brain drain which is the consequence of our socialist-inspired disincentivising of our most able citizens.
