    There are two sets of statistics here, both related to issues that cause concern to the British public.
    • Firstly the official statistics, the supposed facts about these issues.
    • Secondly the public perception of these issues as gathered using a telephone poll.
    I find the immigration issue to be rather amazing:
    Officially 13% of the UK population are recent immigrants, a further 2% are illegal immigrants, that does seem a lot.

    I wonder who is classed as a "recent" immigrant, is that in the last five years?

    How can they count "illegal" immigrants when so many work in the black economy?

    If by R.P you mean my home country then in exactly the same way that I plan to do it in Philippines. Cost of living in the Philippines and my country is comparable.

    I think Boots means the Republic of the Philippines not Republic of Poland :)

    Edit:
    I think he also means what is your plan in order to survive? Do you have a business plan? Obviously you can't just go and apply for a job can you.

    If that's what you mean I am just trying invest my savings wisely. Your money shouldn't never lay useless in the bank account or under your bed. Your money should always work for you making more money. ;)

    Is it anything bad? Or you are just disappointed because you was expecting to hear a story like: "He discovered amazing loophole, now all banks HATE HIM!!!" :D

    I heard a good statement on Newsnight tonight, "the only reason we have elections is to see whether the polls were right" :)
