Try as I might I cannot find any figures relating to UK emigration which, if they aren't any checks and records made, isn't surprising really is it? Which then begs the question of where does the ONS and other bodies get their emigration figures from? Anyhow, in my fruitless search for recent UK emigration stats I came across this. Have a read - hands up those who can see irony when it ...
found this on the UKBA website: ECB15.3 How to check if a person has left the UK There is no immigration embarkation control at UK ports. If asked by the UK Border Agency to find out if a person has returned home, Entry Clearance staff can: check application records to see if the person has re-applied for another entry clearance; make enquiries through the local police; ...

Supposing, just supposing, an alternative route was built inland. I wonder just how long it would remain an 'alternative'.

Just wondered if any alteration(s) as to how drainage will take place on these Shutterton developments might increase the likelihood of ...
In a couple of my earlier postings I mentioned the Greek organisation Golden Dawn. This is in today's Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jan/10/nick-griffin-support-golden-dawn-greece

and then I thought..........."and I wonder how much of the money earnt by these fictional characters would have been sent home to Blighty, to their families, so as to pay for rents/mortgages, food, energy bills and the like? And just how many Brits working abroad, in real life, have done that very same thing both in the past and also right now? And would these Brits, who have worked and who are ...
"Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna has suggested Labour may be interested in restricting free movement within the European Union for workers who do not have the firm offer of a job." (from the link Wondering has given). Addendum: For some reason (?!) the programme Auf Wiedershen Pet suddenly came into my mind so I just looked it up. Here is an extract about it; "The first ...
