Where is the UK headed?

[Mark]

If there are 'pull factors' attracting people to Britain then it is more likely to be the English language that they already know, not state benefits.

The language, and perceived employment opportunities are a big factor.

Again my post was prompted by David Cameron saying he's going to attempt to limit immigration from within the EU, and we may even end up leaving the EU because of it. But I worry that we may end up sleep walking out of the EU because of the 'immigration problem', but what would leaving the EU do about the camps in Calais? Nothing whatsoever, because the people there don't have the right to live and work in the UK being in or out of the EU would make no difference.
