    [QUOTE="Peter Ripley"]At the moment, every 2 days approximately 50 coaches from Bulgaria and Romania travel on the P.O ferries, their destination is London .These are P.O. figures .At the moment , the figures are 20% higher than last year .

    Sorry Peter, these figures appear to be tish tosh. If 50 coaches with 50 people on them came over every other day when the floodgates opened, by now 37,500 would have arrived this year alone.

    '''In the weeks leading up to January 1, when Romanian and Bulgarian citizens secured the right to come to work freely in the UK, there were dire warnings of a "tidal flood" of migrants heading for this country, with Ukip leading the charge.

    Based on Migration Watch's high-profile prediction of 50,000 arrivals every year, at least 4,000 should be here already.

    So how is it going? Last week David Cameron said the numbers looked "reasonable".

    Migration Watch was tight-lipped, saying Cameron's comments were "speculation".

    A spokesman agreed that around 4,000 new arrivals would be expected by now if the 50,000 estimate was correct, but said no comment would be made until official figures come out later in the year.

    The Home Office was equally reluctant.

    "We're not making projections at this stage", a spokeswoman said.

    But while no official data is available, anecdotal evidence suggests some predictions could have been exaggerated.

    The Bulgarian Embassy suggested there had been "no increase of numbers whatsoever" and said it was not expecting one in the months to come.'''http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/31/romanian-bulgarian-migrants_n_4703723.html?utm_hp_ref=tw
