incubus:
in my department of council tax/benefits there are over 60 people employed including ONLY two immigrants (myself and an ukrainian girl).
btw, i have access to council tax benefit data for my area and NONE of the claimants i dealt with so far was an immigrant. all of them english. just thought you`d like to know.
Incubus, I work in the exact same department for a very well known London Borough. A large number of my colleagues are immigrants. As for the benefit claimants, it is difficult to aportion a percentage, but lets just say a huge number of them are immigrants. This isn't necessarily a problem, I'm just pointing out the facts.
By the way, I wouldn't admit to going through a benefits or Council Tax database in order to identify the percentage of immigrants in your borough. It is illegal unless you have been tasked with it (which I very much doubt).
