Southampton MP John Denham admits Labour got the numbers wrong on EU migrants
10:28am Friday 22nd June 2012 in Southampton
Southampton MP John Denham today admitted the Government got its estimates wrong on the number of migrants who came to UK when eastern European countries joined the EU.
Mr Denham said Southampton alone received as many migrants from eastern Europe in 2005 as the Government thought would come to the whole country.
Speaking as Labour today called for a change in the rules on migrant workers, the Southampton Itchen MP said: "It became clear that the estimates that we had relied on were vastly wrong. We expected 15,000 migrants and 15,000 came to Southampton."
The former home office minister said while country had benefited "economically, culturally and socially" from migration he acknowledged: "There was an impact on wages and public services that people were concerned about.”
Southampton was estimated to have as many as 25,000 eastern European migrants.
Mr Denham said there was still a "debate still to be had" about overall numbers.
Labour leader Ed Miliband today admitted the party allowed too many Eastern European immigrants into country by lifting controls too early.
Mr Denham, a former business and skills secretary, said a Labour administration would focus on better enforcement of the minimum wage, a crack down on recruitment agencies who only supplied workers from particular countries, and would look at the types of jobs taken predominantly by foreign workers.
He said there needed to be “a level playing field”.
Ed Miliband promised new measures to prevent British people being ''locked out'' of jobs by foreign workers, including forcing firms to declare if they employ high numbers of immigrants.
Overseas-only employment agencies would be banned and an early-warning system set up to highlight areas where locals are ''dominated'' by an influx of overseas labour under the proposals.
While there cannot be set quotas on home-grown workers, urgent action is required to identify where British jobseekers need better training to compete, the Labour leader said.
Demanding that job centres be told of all firms where more than one in four staff is from overseas would form part of the new system to provide Whitehall and town halls with vital information.
Mr Miliband hopes to shift the focus of the debate from border controls, and what he says are ineffective Government caps on arrivals, towards the impact on people's daily lives.
While restrictions on new arrivals, including caps on people from any new EU member state, are necessary, reforming the jobs market is just as important, he argued.
Stricter enforcement of minimum wage laws and doubling fines to £10,000 would also form part of an effort to stop firms using cheap foreign labour to undercut domestic jobseekers.
Mr Miliband distanced himself from the rhetoric of his predecessor Gordon Brown, saying: ''I am not going to promise 'British jobs for British workers'.
''But we need an economy which offers working people a fair crack of the whip. The problem we need to address is in those areas and sectors where local talent is locked out of opportunity.''
He said Labour had to change its approach to immigration and recognise ''the costs as well as the benefits''.
The last Labour government under Mr Brown became ''too disconnected from the concerns of working people'', he said.
''We too easily assumed those who worried about immigration were stuck in the past, unrealistic about how things could be different, even prejudiced,'' he said.
''But Britain was experiencing the largest peacetime migration in recent history, and people's concerns were genuine.
''Why didn't we listen more? At least by the end of our time in office, we were too dazzled by globalisation and too sanguine about its price.
''By focusing too much on globalisation and migration's impact on growth, we lost sight of who was benefiting from that growth - and the people who were being squeezed. And, to those who lost out, Labour was too quick to say 'Like it or lump it'.''

Why can't they simply confess all in one go:
That they they made the nation virtually bankrupt made bankers rich, served their own interests vervwell but betrayed virtually every good 'Labour Value' and behaved worse than even Maggie Thatcher, so should never ever be trusted.

We all said that the numbers should have been "capped" when when B"liar" was in power & they just said it was good for the economy....most of them send their money back home to have houses built....good for what economy...Polands?
Bevois valley has streets filled with empty "Tyskie" beer cans & Hair dressers & nail bars too numerous to mention, we don't need anymore Eastern European convenience stores that just serve their own community & nobody else :D

My kids school is full of Eastern European kids now to the point where the English kids are way out numbered, the parents are all pregnant when they get off the Ryanair flight at Hurn airport & as for their driving skills they are dreadful.......just saying, freedom of speech an all :P
The ones I know (who aren't bad people incidentally)...all come over here for the benefits ie: free schooling, health care etc....but they don't stop whining on about how horrible it is....MAKE YOUR MIND UP or go somewhere nicer (uhmmm, where else will you get free Schooling, healthcare etc.........:P

Anyway, I am now sat in a small restraunt in Seoul, to my left a bunch of locals having a great time, to my right a group of young proffessional Indians, our table is a mix of Europeans, Americans and South Africans, this is repeated everywhere all over the world, my point is why should a relatively small city in England be any different. Look at the big picture, learn to develop our society and in particular our City to make this an all win opportunity rather than look inward and call it mass immigration.

I don't think I came across too impolite though, If I did then you must excuse me, but living in the Immigrant central (Bevois Valley), it is all around me & I am getting a little sick of the mess that has been created over the past 10 years by ghettos that are inhabited by the people that have chosen to come here!
Take a walk down Cranbury Ave, or anywhere in "the Jungle" Derby road etc.....& see what I mean.

I ran a care agency in Soton, without the Poles and others then the elderly and disabled would not have been cared for as the english born people didnt want to do that sort of work.
The new breed of Pole are "Tyskie" drinking, mustache wearing, early 90's fashion wearing drunks who know how to play our system!
Get real, am I the only one that can see this??
A whole bunch of them (about 10) sit over the road from me & drink their beer all day long & then deposit the cans in the same place & the pile is huge now.....check the parks in town.....we ended up getting the useless drunks who when they get liver disease will be taking up the hospital beds ...think about it!!!!
I have Polish mates who say that they only came here because of the benefit system......England is a laughing stock in Europe now because of no border control or screening of immigrants.

Many work very hard unlike some of our own who hang around the job centre with their Staffies each day waiting for a handout.
Live and let live, we can't blame Polish people to take advantage of a system that allows it.

I don't know where you live but Portswood, City centre & Shirley are now overrun with them....Like I said before, I wouldn't tar them all with the same brush cause I have mates that are Polskys, but even they said that they only come over for the benefit system....that speaks volumes in my book (Jus cause it's there doesn't mean to say you have to abuse it)!
Don't you long for the days of having clean streets, no Police & Ambulances going by every two minutes & I "AIN'T" saying that this is all Polish that do this, but maybe modern times just suck, hell I don't know anymore :D
We had a once nice city & now it is just a Sh1t hole now I am afraid.
My fear was that I was gonna sound racist & maybe I do but that really ain't so......I just want people who aren't from our country to stop making a hell hole out of it & stopping screwing our system over!
Now I really angry & starting to vent & I really didn't wanna do that :D
Even the rich take benefits. Our friends from overseas are not acting illegally by taking benefits.
If the Tax man wrote to me tomorrow and said, we're going to give you £1000 I would take it, as you probably would.
It's not the people we should blame, but the system.
Labour opened the gates, yet no-one has ever closed them and Labour are no longer in power.
Nobody will convince me that these all wonderful people lovely people cause they ain't!!
I go to stop these guys doing this sh1t & I get told not get involved & I cause trouble....no way & I ain't putting up with it!
My neighbours had friends round tonight from Plymouth & they were soooo intimidated...It ain't right & I ain't taking it!
Sorry to sound racist, but if you don't like it then ...too bad...sorry :P
Is someone insisting and forcing you to live where you are?
I visit Derby road often to go to International foods, never seen any issues on my visits.
For goodness sake your comment just says that I should accept it....no way!
This has made real annoyed now....if we accept it then it becomes accepted :(

Guess we're lucky as we only have one yob in our street who brings home numerous other yobs every weekend. But he get's told to shut up and to be fair he listens and goes indoors.
Seriously though, you shouldn't have to live with abuse from others, wether they be Polish or British.
I'd sort them out myself if they were doing similar in my street.

To call the Police for some group throwing beer cans, is a waste of yours and Police time.
If your problem is genuine, the Council can and WILL place CCTV vans in your area, but unless you complain, they'll do nothing.
That is when they aren't on strike, which I believe they aren't right now?

We all said that the numbers should have been "capped" when when B"liar" was in power & they just said it was good for the economy....most of them send their money back home to have houses built....good for what economy...Polands?
Bevois valley has streets filled with empty "Tyskie" beer cans & Hair dressers & nail bars too numerous to mention, we don't need anymore Eastern European convenience stores that just serve their own community & nobody else :D
(I can buy cabbage related products in Aldi's now)
My kids school is full of Eastern European kids now to the point where the English kids are way out numbered, the parents are all pregnant when they get off the Ryanair flight at Hurn airport & as for their driving skills they are dreadful.......just saying, freedom of speech an all :P
The ones I know (who aren't bad people incidentally)...all come over here for the benefits ie: free schooling, health care etc....but they don't stop whining on about how horrible it is....MAKE YOUR MIND UP or go somewhere nicer (uhmmm, where else will you get free Schooling, healthcare etc.........:P
Schools in Poland are free
health care is free.
Typical English family 1 parent + minimum 3 kids=claiming benefits :)
Most of the Polish people i know work full time and they can not claim benefits anyway but they pay tax so what is your problem?
How many English hard working peoples is buying properties in Spain and no one have problem about it good for what economy...Spain ?
I agree all scumbags criminals etc should be send back home and not allowed to come here wherever they are from

If the school & healthcare is free over there then why are they all flocking to Southampton.....just to open up hairdressers & stores in Shirley high street ????
What about the drunks that sit over the road from me with their big mustaches & Tyskie lager dumped in the bushes & the fact that they are out there all the dayam day!
Why is it that where the Polish youth hang out near my kids school there always seems to be Sh1t in the bins broken polish beer bottles in the playgrounds to say the least.....
When the English go to Spain to settle, they don't do that stuff....maybe the young holiday makers do, but at least they clear off home again :P
