   'Large-scale immigration has damaged the poorest communities and deeply   
   unsettled the country, Liam Byrne, the Immigration Minister, said today.   
      
   !!!   
      
   Mr Byrne says that inequality and child poverty are two of the main   
   side-effects of migration, which has been running at record levels since   
   Labour came to power.   
      
   !!!!   
      
   Mr Byrne made his remarks before publication tomorrow of official figures   
   showing net migration of 185,000 in 2005, four times the figure when Labour   
   came to power in 1997.   
      
   !!!!   
      
   The report, which was produced in *2002* but only released under freedom of   
   information laws last month, highlighted some of the difficulties caused by   
   the arrival of new migrants in poor areas.   
      
   Fifty different languages had been introduced into Newcastle upon Tyne, and   
   in other areas doctors dealing with new migrants experienced difficulties   
   treating unfamiliar diseases such as malaria and TB.   
      
   !!!!!   
      
   He said: "We also have to accept that laissez-faire migration runs the risk   
   of damaging communities where parts of our antipoverty strategy come under   
   pressure.  "When a junior school such as the school in Hodge Hill, my own   
   constituency in Birmingham, sees its population of children with English as   
   a second language rise from 5 per cent to 20 per cent in a year, then   
   boosting standards in our poorest communities gets harder," he said.

   The story wasn't in the Guardian today.   
      
   I won't expect an aplogy from Dr Mason or Bridegam or Joe the Gnome or   
   Belsky.
