Ask Eric Pickles!!

Andrew Neil did.

AN: Let’s be honest here, Mr Pickles, do you have any idea how many Romanians and Bulgarians will come?

EP: I’ve been given a figure, I’m not confident on the figure, and until I’m confident on the figure I’m not going to quote a figure.

AN: Can you give us the ball park for the figure? These are matters that would put huge strain on the housing stock if it’s a big figure.

EP: Perhaps I wasn’t very clear, so let me be absolutely clear. I’ve seen figures, I wasn’t confident with those figures. I’ve asked for a further explanation and when I’ve got that explanation and when I feel confident about the figures then I’ll talk about the figures.

AN: Does the figure you’ve been given worry you?

EP: When I am confident about the figures I will express my confidence or worries.

For what it's worth, my opinion is that this will become a VERY big political problem in 2013.

Like everyone else he dosn't know!    I expect like everyone else he suspects the answer is shitloads!! As a minister of state he can hardly say that though... Can he?

Just expect many girls to move here to have a child by an Englishman, so they get a flat and full benefits. This apparently is the ambition for many Bulgarian and Romanian girls as it is the way to a better life.

Would be my guess as well...............

I worked for a while in both countries, and the girls there on the whole are very attractive so I expect that they will be welcomed with open arms by the local lads here!!

I suspect it will be around a million. The estimate for Spain is around 750,000.

They will do some low paid jobs. They will run rackets, they will be involved in crime, including sex trafficking. It is what is happening in Spain now. The pickings , with the Uk welfare system will be far, far greater in Britain.

If I was Bulgarian or Romanian I would leave for Britain.

If I was in government, I would be petitioning for a fair number of immigrants based on population density. In effect The Netherlands and England could say very few people please, we are full (one out/one in). That won't happen, Dave will continue to dither.

[Sir Tigger KC]

We don't have choice Varche.  By EU law we have to open the gates and roll out the welcome mats! 

[albitz]

I susprect its already started.Three people (two women and a man) with eastern european accents  cleverly robbed my daughter of her corporate AMEX gold card in London last night and had a field day with it at the Stratford Westfields shopping centre as soon as the shops opened this morning.

Well there you go then.

I saw that interview, Nick.....and quite frankly I was appalled.

Andrew tied him up in knots.....and what about housebuilding...talk about bullsh*t......and as is the norm, always revert back to the excuse beginning with  'We inherited'

Nothing to do with capitalism. Everything to do with the socialist EU.

and one more.. there is no actual socialism in EU philosophy..  the main reason is to get a bigger market ..
 
the capitalist boss decided to sacrifice your job for 2 main reasons 1. he will have cheapo workers 2. he will have more markets ..
 
and its the last trial before another market sharing war..

[cem_devecioglu]

and we can conclude another result simply : your national borders mean nothing in his money covered eyes..
