Alice in Fucking Wonderland

"Yesterday, an international organisation, which receives funding of £25million a year from British taxpayers, demanded increased rights for migrants living here during the economic downturn.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said the Government should try to employ more migrants in the public sector.

It also suggested lower taxes and possible subsidies for lowskilled jobs, which migrant workers often fill.

Martine Durand, from the OECD, said 'immigrants are the most vulnerable in times of economic crisis'.

The OECD added that immigration was unlikely to go down because the situation in migrants' home countries would also be very tough.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch UK, said: 'This report is completely irrelevant to Britain which does not have any shortage of workers. On the contrary, unemployment is heading for two million, possibly even three million.

'It is amazing that the OECD should produce such a crass report. They are clearly completely out of touch with the real world.'

Brussels is expected to call for the UK to lift restrictions on the rights of Romanians and Bulgarians to work in freely in this country.

The Home Office has until the end of the year to make a decision on whether to keep the current limit of around 20,000 work permits in place.

Vladimir Spidla, EU commissioner for employment, is to publish a report underlining that every EU worker has the 'fundamental right' to migrate to Britain."
