The truth is out there - somewhere

A report from the UK Border Agency's Migration Advisory Committee, Analysis of the impacts of migration, got very different headlines in the media when it was published today. They ranged from "Migrants keep Britons out of jobs" in the Telegraph, to the Independent's "Immigration does not cause unemployment". Hmm, but which is better? as Harry Hill would say.

Windrush

In June 1948 the ship Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury docks bringing the first Commonwealth immigrants from Jamaica to the UK. Seeking a new and better life, it was the start of a changing Britain enabled by the British Nationality Act.
There's an exhibition, online exhibition and related events at the Imperial War Museum, London, to mark this anniversary.
