"Immigration Minister Phil Woolas has accused the Office for National Statistics of "playing politics" with population figures.
He said he was "appalled" at the release of figures showing one in nine British residents was born abroad.
In a letter Mr Woolas describes the decision to release the data as "at best naive or, at worst, sinister". "
Does anyone else find the sight of a Labour government minister accusing the ONS of "playing politics" by releasing statistics at best laughable and at worst disgraceful?

Hypocracy!
Only the good statistics can be leaked by this Government. Anything bad has to be buried. It makes you wonder what this wretched lot have been doing (or not as the case may be) while half the cabinet has recently been on the Fred Goodwin witch-hunt.
