EU immigration surges by 43,000 in boost to Ukip - "Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, said Mr Cameron had broken a 'solemn promise to the British people on one of the most important political issues'" (I am proud of our cousins across the pond and their far, far, 'far-right parties,' who, for example, have no immediate plans to convert to Islam, and applaud the heroic strides being made in France and elsewhere--nations not under the iron fist of a two-party monopoly that is gleefully destroying Western civilization.)

EU immigration surges by 43,000 in boost to Ukip

Official figures show that number of European immigrants moving to Britain last year rose by 43,000 as voters head to polls.

EU immigration to Britain has risen by 43,000 in the past year, in figures that were seized on by Ukip on the day of European and local elections.

David Cameron has been accused by Nigel Farage of breaking a “solemn promise” to voters after a "significant" increase in European citizens immigrating to Britain.

Some 201,000 EU citizens immigrated to the UK in the year ending December 2013, a rise on the 158,000 the previous year. The change is "statistically significant", the Office for National Statistics said.

Meanwhile, overall net migration - the difference between migrants leaving and arriving in the UK - rose to 212,000 in the period, from 177,000 the previous year. . . .

An estimated 122,000 people from those countries were working in the UK between January and March of this year, compared with 103,000 in the same period in 2013.

Ukip may come first, according to polls published last night.

The figures are a blow to David Cameron, with migration running at more than double his manifesto target of "tens of thousands" by next year's general election. . . .
