A Load of Old Balkans

If there were any economic recovery, then the hordes of Bulgarians and Romanians would be here.

They are not, because there isn't.

Irrefutably.

    This is a very serious accusation- it could imply a few things...
    1)Recent GDP figures are fabricated
    2)Recent GDP figures were deliberately inaccurate
    3)Recent GDP figures were unintentionally innacurate
    4)GDP is a poor way to measure economic performance
    5)GDP is a poor way to measure national wellbeing
    6)Recent GDP figures do not constitute a recovery.
    Either way, compared to the rest of Europe, GDP growth in the last 12 months has been superb and the envy of other EU member states, not least probably doomed France.
    So Which explanation is it that you agree with?
    Plus, who is to say there won't be more coming over the course of the next 51 weeks? While I think that the number of migrants is probably correlated to economic growth ,It must be said that no other nation has experienced an influx either- Emigration from those nations is just not needed anymore. And we hardly made them feel welcome, what with the press hysteria and the governments tightening of the welfare rules, conspicuously supported by the Bavarian Christian Social Union.

    Not the envy of Bulgaria and Romania, obviously. In fact, Romania has the highest growth in the EU.

    They not coming. Of course they are not coming. Coming to what? Coming for what? The foodbanks? The Red Cross parcels? The mass evictions by profiteering landlords?

    They would have come by now. It has been nearly a week, and they were all supposed to turn up on Day One. There were entirely serious television crews to meet them, and everything.
