  yes Sid, if you go to the link there is an excellent explanation.
  
  Woolas simply did not understand his own immigration statistics. There was no double counting in the sense of his Arsenal Stadium explanation. If the immigrants counted had gone home then they would not have been included in the figures.
  
  Put simply 99% of jobs created over the last 13 years have gone to immigrants and not the British unemployed.
  
  The official figures: 1.7m new jobs of which 1.67m went to immigrants since 1997.
  
  For once I can say something good about the EU as if it was not for them these figures would not be available. They have been collated based on EU instructions and methodology so could not be fiddled by the Government.
