It would seem the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act is having quite an effect.  Last year, before the act came into force, under 15 businesses were caught for employing illegal employers, however in the four months after the Act came into force in February an astonishing 352 businesses have been caught. 

Does that mean businesses suddenly started employing more people illegally after the Act came into force?  Obviously not.  But it does perhaps serve as a cautionary tale about the power of the definitions that lie behind statistics. 

Labour have taken 300,000 children out of poverty?  Depends how you look at it.
