    This headline is not that difficult to understand . And even the BBC is saying the same thing , but deliberately making it a bit more obscure so as not to annoy its Labour party bosses .
    But as I said , the left wing will totally ignore anything they don,t want to hear .
    So the Torygraph is more balanced??

    What the Torygraph has done is taken the set of figures in the study from 1995-2011. This addresses the contributions of all immigrants, no matter when they arrived in the UK. And per head they cost about the same as 'native' Britons. For example, an immigrant who arrived in the 1960s could have contributed for 35 years, but from 1995 they might have made a negative contribution as they have now retired.

    They could have had a headline that shouted British cost Britain £600bn. But no, they focus on picking on the easier target so they can cause outrage amongst the usual reactionary Tory/UKIP voter.

    The other figures are from 2001-2011 and they only look at the contributions of new immigrants that have arrived in the UK during that period. The report shows that new immigrants during this period have made a contribution.
