I know this comment is old so the project is irrelevant now, but I thought I would post this anyway.

When the Acension 8 countries (Eastern Europe) joined the EU in May 2008, it meant residents of these countries were able to migrate to Britain for economic reasons. Generally men temporarily moved here, sending remittance payments back to their families at home. (known as differential migration)

Many economic migrants also come to fill vacancies for skilled jobs in Britain, eg Polish dentists.
