Well, it's counterbalancing in the sense that there's a net gain/loss of people (having watched the Andrew Marr doc about the census the other day, we're not very good at keeping stats on those moving away long term) but you're right that we're losing skilled/intelligent workers. Not all immigrants are unskilled though - as Bad_mother says, Aus/NZ use quality control, Cameron seems to be suggesting straight numbers, presumably because it's easier and cheaper.
all a bit shutting the stable door...what abouthe MILLIONS that have arrived, the pressure on schools ,gps etc . mad
