Man who knows literally nothing about the complex task this would be complains about it, every signal country in the world is like this with a constant array of estimates. The only way to do otherwise would be insane surveillance of everyone at all times and an unfathomable lvl of interconnection between departments, you could put sattilite tracking tags on every single person in Britain and still have errors because some would malfunction
We can’t allow immigration enforcement to get high on power, that would cause concern and riots. They cannot have a general increase in powers, and they also cannot be tasked to target high risk areas because of the perceived racism.
There’s only 2 realistic solutions.
The first is to do what the government did in 2009 and offer an amnesty to so many people lost in the system or otherwise
The second is to give the public an incentive to snitch with the equivalent of a crimestoppers reward scheme but for immigration issues only. Really, you want the public behind it, because there’s no point in reach out work to migrant communities who have no incentive to listen to government advisers and would gladly hide migrants. Dangle a few carrots and then suddenly many won’t be so loyal to their communities.
Legal migrants overstaying their visas and becoming illegal migrants is not a new issue.
>Migration statistics are in constant flux, and they are never revised down
That’s utter bollocks. The [May 2025 release](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/bulletins/longterminternationalmigrationprovisional/yearendingdecember2024) on long-term international migration revised estimates for year ending December 2023 down, for example.
>[ONS’s] no revisions policy
They don’t have a no revisions policy. Revisions are included in the latest monthly release.
>There are 63.8 million patients registered with GP practices in England, but according to the ONS the entire population is 58.6 million.
The discrepancy is explained in the data quality statement accompanying the NHS stats, under the heading [Accuracy](https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/patients-registered-at-a-gp-practice/data-quality-statement#accuracy). It’s called list inflation.
>many question the wisdom of filling the perm sec post from an internal pool and appointing someone with no statistical background to lead an organisation whose failures are overwhelmingly statistical
I question the wisdom of anyone believing the Telegraph’s distorted statistical reporting.
yet bet they come out against any digital ID card proposal. Shame Blairs concept of such a thing was an Orwellian nightmare because a sensible version would have dealt with this just as it does in virtually every other developed country.
We don’t know who is here because there are no exit checks. It’s literally that simple. If you don’t know who has left, you don’t know how has not left. Why is this so surprising or confusing to people?
