It does say 'Migrant baby boom' in the title now, and the opening line is currently "An immigrant baby boom is fuelling Britain's fastest population growth in half a century". The link on the front page is currently the 'migrant' version too. It is fun to watch the Mail edit its stories specifically to add stuff about immigrants.

Looks like an unexpected slant is being taken this time. Remember folks, immigration is a bad thing, unless you have the right skin colour/speak the right language.

Heh, good work!

I can just imagine Slack, Chapman, Doughty and Dacre huddled around the typewriter desperately trying to twist the statistics into something resembling a migrant influx.

'Perhaps if we carry the 2...exclude this month maybe...and count pensioners as immigrants, it'll look right'

So far, the paper has been constantly revising and updating the Baby Boom story, focusing on the number of births with mothers born outside the UK, and keeping all these migration figures woven in with those. It has sort of been honestly reporting the drops though.

Looks as though we'll get focusing on the population growth (especially to foreign mothers). The Telegraph is going with baby boom driven partly by immigration angle.

That's how you turn positive (for the right wing press) immigration figures into negative coverage about immigration. Ka-POW!

These figures are not from the beloved Migrationwatch, so probably will be rendered irrelevant.

White flight maybe?

Although the figures are down, Mr slack et al could just highlight the figures and not mention the decrease.

Ring up the Greens (Andrew, Damon and Hughie)and get a nice quote.

I need to work but I'll have a peak through one eye at the Mail upon getting home.
