It does but our wonderful government had not got that sophisticated until recently realising emigration was a factor!! That is where the net figure of 250,00 comes from.  When I get time I will write something on it if you like

 It means English people are coming home.

 But I heard recently that MORE English people were leaving

(LIR and Marion are to blame for this )

 i heard most of them are heading to australia

 no, i thought english were migrating east, east to down old continent.

 Migration means either moving in or out or within the UK on a temporary basis - emigration mean leaving for good, and immigration means coming here for good.

The figures show that both inward and outward movement of UK citizens, so it all gets a bit confusing.

Yes more English people are leaving but those would be emigration figures and not migration figures

You know our govenrment and their massaging of figures

 Ouh ok

I feel salak now

I think those are overrated by the media..

I would say people come to EU for mainly economical reasons. I guess the second reason will be  escaping persecution in their own country.

Fair is fair. EU countries treat immigrants relatively well..

There are people out there living their lives in fear in their own countries and when they come into EU everything gets changed about their life..  

 I do agree with you - especially about asylum seekers.  I don´t think anyone has a "right" to block people going wherever they want actually - it is luck where you are born (good or bad).

I just wish there was a solution to the overcrowding and draining of resources

 and they forget the reality and start demanding more than they could get.
