    Asylum seekers and those who have been granted asylum don't work. The latter are not allowed to by law for so and so many years. Both those who have been granted asylum and those who have not receive benefits and free council housing from day 1, and are not counted as unemployed.
    From 1997 to 2004, of almost 500,000 people claiming asylum in the UK, only 75,000 were returned home, the rest remained in Britain, including those who were not granted asylum.

    The figures from 2004 onwards are even higher. We might be talking of several million people in all.

    There are hundreds of thousands of people on incapacity benefits who could work, and are not counted as unemployed.

    So the real number of people of working age who are not employed and receive benefits and free housing is probably close to Brian's estimation.
    The figure of 2.67 million is a joke.
