Did anybody watch it last night?
I know the whole series has become somewhat lightweight recently but I happened to have the TV on and sat down to watch.
About immigration and how the government has completely lost count or appears to have lost count of how many people are coming into the country.
Using Slough as an example, they focussed on how the council budget was being reduced because ?official government statistics? show the population to be decreasing.
Andrew Blake-Herbert, director of finance for Slough council said: "Over the last three years, we've already lost ?5 million worth of funding and if the inaccurate population statistics aren't corrected before the next census, we stand to lose up to ?15 million worth of funding"

Yet ?on the street? it is obvious that Slough is literally bursting at the seams with people and local services are struggling to cope with the resources they have ? let alone facing cuts.
Fascinating.

Yes I watched it! And fumed throughout...
It reflects the perfected art of government denial that is all-pervasive these days.
If they don't want to see it - it doesn't exist!
