Music video about illegal immigration: what we witnessed & film we shot while ...
We were on a World Peace tour in Europe when we witnessed a boatload of people coming from Africa to Spain to escape the violence, disease and hunger they are living in. Some of the people were not alive as the authorities pulled them from the boat. We are also asked to hand over our cameras and film but one of us was able to escape with the film which is within our music video here. We did get back our other camera, but without the film.

Brain Drain: Why are so many people leaving Britain?
A report out yesterday suggests Britain may be experiencing a brain drain.
According to the Office for National Statistics the number of emigrants from the UK rose to a record 400,000 in 2006, the highest number since records began in 1991 with half of those being British citizens.
The Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) said a total of 5.5 million British passport holders live abroad permanently, and another 500,000 live abroad part of the time through second homes.
So why are so many people leaving the UK?
The IPPR said that almost two-thirds of those who emigrated last year, did so for work-related reasons
Understandable. My friend is returning to St. Vincent next week because the job market here has not been very kind to her. And shes British and a university graduate. When my studies are complete, Ill probably be doing that myself, having had a similar experience.
According to the report, the most popular destinations for emigrants included France, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia and the US.

Double Trouble
According to Government projections the population of our lovely country could double in size by 2081 if immigration and fertility rates remain high. And if these factors grow even more we could be looking at a population in the UK of 91,053,000 by the middle of the century - and 108,723,000 by 2081.
That's a pretty scary thought - imagine the amount of work that would be needed to house, feed and care for that many extra people. Emigration never sounded so good!
What's your thoughts on this? Think our Government can handle it?
