I have read on many occasions, usually from 'Remain'' politicians, but also from ethnic & business lobbyist & EU funded 'researchers or 'academics'

What I have never seen, neither have the above mentioned, is any SOURCE- based EVIDENCE that proves mass migration, including from the E.U, that verifies what these groups or people assert.

I therefore call them all out, including the government, for NOT providing the complete, or even partial evidence to prove, what is in effect, NOT 'EVIDENCE', but RHETORIC.

I need to see ALL the evidence, because I want to verify for myself, what is evidence & what has or has not been included.

Theresa MAY should admit defeat in her efforts to pull the wool over the eyes of the British public through the deceitful mechanism of 'BREXIT' & fall on her sword by calling a general election.

In 2016, the British public vote to 'LEAVE' the E.U, that means leaving at the end of March 2019.

'BREXIT' is a 'Remainer's' construct, in order to forestall the leaving of the E.U next March.

It, in no way affects either the 2016 result or the effects that flow from it.

In FACT, 'BREXIT' has no legal status, because it was not part of the referendum, nor of the 2016 Tory election manifesto, because people voted without that knowledge being in the manifesto.

You see, people attack 'LEAVE' for 'lying' in the lead up to the referendum, which is FALSE, yet, they ignore the election manifesto policy.
As a result, the IGNORANT people are allowed to argue in public to their heart's desire, safe in the knowledge that what they are saying, is not going to be exposed for what it is, complete waffle, myths & outright LIES.

'BREXIT' was not in the 2016 referendum, nor in the election manifesto that year, therefore, 'BREXIT' is a political 'Red Herring'.

Theresa MAY has called upon the Attorney General for legal advice on the Irish 'backdrop',let me say this, That 'advice', will neither be 'legal' or 'impartial', like the decision to enter the EEC, the 'legal' advice was 'political' suited to say whatever the Prime Minister wants it to say, tailored to her failed policy.

Nonsense-
MAC Report- Forward
"I do think we have made progress in extending the evidence base on the impacts of migration but it would be foolish to claim that any of these questions are ever settled.

Availability and access to data remain serious constraints on our work and we have tried to be clear about where the evidence is inconclusive".

Pointless reading the report, the forward states clearly, that," access to data remain serious constraints on our work".
That means that not only is the report unclear, inconclusive, there are no sources mentioned, it is therefore simply a Publication , WHICH IS not EVIDENCE, AS NO SOURCE FOR ANY DATA, IS PROVIDED.

It is a Committee set up by the government to release to all & sundry, information which should be classed as [b]Disinformation.[/b]

It is, like most government reports, political hogwash.

As in my previous post, NO DATA SOURCES ARE GIVEN & WHERE ANY DATA IS QUOTED, IS USUALLY 'SELECTIVE', TO FIT THE Report Conclusions.
I am NOT interested in propaganda, I ONLY wish to see ALL the 'SOURCES' of the DATA, in order to verify that what is NOT included, should be, or what is included, may not be relevant, either in it's quantity, or in it's quality.

I was forensically trained as a Book-keeper, I NEVER accept anything as gospel, without seeing the EVIDENCE myself, at it's source.
There are probably many data sets that are not included, in order to present a FALSE picture, for POLITICAL reasons, in order to justify continued migration, for fear of the REAL TRUTH causing political embarrassment on both sides of the political fence, that support migration.

We know this is FACT, because the E.U referendum tells us that, from the effects that migration has had in REALITY, on indigenous people's lives in this & other countries.

NO, I never said that, that's your interpretation of what you read.

DATA becomes USED, often that data is used out of context to prove any argument one wants, which is not what or why it was collected in the first place.
It is 'used' or exploited, often by academics or statisticians to make political points for the benefit of their political masters, by the time it is published it bears little resemblance to the raw data in it's original form.

The above is why you cannot trust what you read, because it is not in it's proper context, it is selectively used.

"Lies, damned Lies & statistics".

But you can look at the raw data used in the MAC report in the sources cited.

So what's the problem?

Well, you would think so, but try searching for either the raw data or other sources, you will find that, since the last Labour government left office, the Tory cuts have meant that data is no longer updated online & that it is quickly archived away from the searching eyes of people like myself.

I used to regularly read the data, for instance, records from National Insurance contributions are collected monthly by the DWP, which is then used by the ONS, it is there that the 'laundering' process of the raw data begins.
The data is analysed into data sets, in order to quantify the differing groups of contributors, such as country of birth, sex. age, how long migrants have been in the country & what benefits they claim, for instance, in 2008, 6.8% of migrants were claiming DLA WITHIN 6 Months of being in the country & that is ONLY just one of the benefits that they may be claiming.
There is also unemployment, social security, educational, advice centre cost, housing, health, as well as others.

Factoring all of the cost, against the contribution by those migrants & on balance I contest the government claim that there is a benefit to mass migration as we have experienced it in the time since 1997.

Economically, look at the increase in the working age population since 1997, compare the total working age population, divide the GDP from 1997 each year by the working age population & compare that to the growth since then.

In real terms, growth has rarely, if ever, exceeded the inflation rate, YET, if that migration was 'good' for the country, the GDPPP would have risen proportionately to the increase in that population of workers.

The FACT is, real wages have declined, because productivity has fallen.

That is a DIRECT influence of rising working age migration, productivity depends on increasing productive output, using FEWER people, NOT increasing them, as the situation with rising migration causes & brings about lower levels of wealth.
NOT only has productivity fallen, the government's cost of that increased population has risen, even though, as individuals, we have lost out.
If we had an increase of 10% in the working age population from migration, our output, along with the increase in GDP & consequent increase in personal prosperity,ought to equate with that percentage increase of available labour - it doesn't, which is why most of us are poorer.
NOT only that, government fiscal & debt management have made our situation even more dire.

No statistics can hide the inflationary effects of migration, which cause more demand, without the necessary productivity increases with which we can pay for those price increases & of course the government has \ will have increased the national debt by FOUR TIMES what it was under Labour, by the time of the next election.

So, no, I am deeply sceptical of anything that any government says.

No.

In a census all members of a population are counted.

Nonsense wrote:look at the increase in the working age population since 1997

There is no evidence of higher or lower prosperity being associated with a higher or lower population.

That's why I said "more like" and not "exactly like".

What's your point anyway? Do you actually believe that crime reports are a better measure than the crime survey or are you arguing for the sake of it?

They are much the same in many respects.

User Guide to Crime Statistics for England and Wales, Jan 2017 wrote:Ratio comparing CSEW reported crime and police recorded crime... 97% in the year ending March 2016

But the Home Office agrees with me that "as the CSEW is a general household population survey, the number of hate crime incidents and victims estimated in a single survey year is too unreliable to report on."

If they are so similar how is it possible that they show an opposite trend?

This caveat is followed by:
Therefore, three annual datasets have been combined in order to provide a larger sample which can be used to produce robust estimates for hate crime.

Which is why each data point in this graph covers three annual datasets.

Unfortunately for you that only gives a trend (note the line of the graph) and as the CSEW is a general household population survey, the number of hate crime incidents and victims estimated in a single survey year is still too unreliable to report on.

The trend is what's important and it's a consistent downward trend. That's good news by the way.

Also from the report you linked:
Improvements in police recording have been mentioned as a driver in the increase seen in hate crime offences recorded by the police. Section 2.2 shows that 90 per cent of hate crimes in 2017/18 were for either public order or violence against the person offences, continuing the pattern seen in previous years. Figure 2.1 shows the indexed trend in overall violent and public order offences since 2012/13 compared with all hate crime offences over the same period. As can be seen, there is a strong correlation between the increase in overall public order and violence against the person offences and hate crime.

The Office for National Statistics have stated that increases in recent years in police recorded violence against the person and public order offences are thought to have largely been driven by improvements in police recording following the renewed focus on the quality of recorded crime. These improvements are likely to have also driven the increase in police recorded hate crime.

That doesn't stop the Policy Exchange article you pointed up, the one that used CSEW single survey year numbers to counter polling results that showed race was a significant driver for Leave voters, from being a load of disingenuous bollocks.

Home Office, Hate Crime, England and Wales, 2017/18 wrote:the number of hate crime incidents and victims estimated in a single survey year is too unreliable to report on.
