Immigration: a study in financial and moral impoverishment, 24 July 2015 (Vol.20,No.11/12,pp.6-8)
A Forecast Fulfilled, 19 December 2014 (Vol.20, No.4/5, p.7)
The best and the brightest? 19 April 2013 (Vol. 18, No. 8, pp.1,2)
This article criticises those politicians who keep saying they want the 'best and brightest' immigrants. It shows that immigration from the Indian sub-continent to the UK is markedly less diverse than the internal migration to Bombay or Karachi and that the majority of the immigrants come from a tiny number of obscure rural areas
Immigrants take on liabilities 15 March 2013 (Vol. 18, No. 7, pp.2,3)
This article examines a fundamental contradiction ... why do immigrants continue to come to the UK and other western countries, where they automatically assume responsibility for the interest burden and repayment liabilities of enormous government debt?
Immigration: The canary in the European coal mine, 16 October 2009 (Vol. 15, No. 12, p.4)
Book Review: Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam & the West, by Christopher Caldwell. Caldwell says, "If Europe is getting more immigrants than its voters want, this is a good indication that its democracy is not functioning." Indeed, the whole EU process is designed to put some policies beyond democracy.
Demography is destiny: why mass immigration assists the European project, 9 May 2008 (Vol. 13, No. 15, pp.3,4)
An argument that the architects of the EU new political order are seeking to vary the continent’s demographic make-up in pursuit of power. It demonstrates that they are, therefore, following in the well-trodden footsteps of all new political powers, starting with the Romans and carrying right on into modern India and China.
Who gains most from mass immigration, 11 January 2008 (Vol. 13, No. 7, pp.3,4)
An analysis of the economics of Immigration shows that It is those with the lowest incomes and least capital who are likely to feel the main impact of immigration - ironically most of these will be previous immigrants.
Is there really a 'Huguenot' invasion or is Ken simply bad at maths? 27 April 2007 (Vol. 12, No. 14, p.3)
An amusing exposee which questions why europhiles should be so keen to grossly exaggerate the number of French living in London. The conclusion is that it appeared that, in 2007, Ken Livingstone, the LibDems, the New Statesman, etc., simply could not add up - their figures were between 5 and 10 times the estimates of the French Embassy in London.
Britain's demographic profile is changing at a bewildering rate, 15 December 2006 (Vol. 12, Nos.5/6, p.5)
The original research in this paper shows that the UK has the biggest loss of tertiary-educated citizens among developed countries, over three times that of the USA. It proves that Britain is a country of both emigration and immigration and is undergoing more rapid demographic change than the USA.
Immigration policy: shouldn't there be a role for analysis & principles? 8 September 2006 (Vol.11, No.22, pp.4,5)
An investigation that makes it quite clear that the major parties have no idea of what the EU principle of 'freedom of movement' is likely to entail in practice. All make dogmatic statements about the benefits without scruple or evidence.
Economics of Migration, 28 July 2006 (Vol.11,Nos.20/21, p.10)
A Letter to the Editor of Eurofacts which explains that, according to his speech to the CBI in 2004, Mr. Blair revealed that he thinks of immigrant workers as a new helot class. stuck in jobs which no native worker will accept.
Why immigration can lower living standards and hurt the lowest paid, 23 June 2006 (Vol.11,No.18,pp.4,5)
A scathing attack on Mr. Blair's advocacy of immigration to fill 'skill shortages' which he based on the 'lump of labour' fallacy. It demonstrates that Immigrants add to demand as well as to supply so more 'shortages' are created and that a 'perpetual motion machine' is triggered as more immigrants are imported to do the work previous immigrants won't do.
