Lid blown on migrant cover-up | Migration Watch UK

Following a story in the Sunday Times of March 7, 2004 headed ‘Lid blown on migrant cover-up’ Migrationwatch issued the following comment:

‘The Sunday Times story takes us behind the spin to the heart of what is really going on at the Home Office. The Government’s claims of ‘managed migration’ are exposed as a charade and the story reveals the lengths to which they are prepared to go to to hide the real facts. Revelations of this kind make it difficult to take at face value anything the Government tells us on this subject.’
