'under-estimated'! Under-estimated!

The Telegraph report this:
'Ed Miliband admits Labour's immigration errors made Britons poorer

Immigration from Eastern Europe was under-estimated by the former Labour government and hit people's wage packets, Ed Miliband has acknowledged.'
Under-estimated! An under-estimate would mean being out by 10%, 20%, 100% but Labour confidently predicted that the number of workers who would come to this country from Eastern Europe to work would be the reassuringly low figure of 13,000. In reality how many was it?  At its peak, it exceeded 600,000 a year. In total it was 1,000,000, 2,000,000, more? That was not an underestimate it was either a massive error or a deliberate lie.

I have just had a browse through previous postings on Immigration and what stands out is the way that Labour seemingly deliberately encouraged immigration so as to 'rub the right's nose in diversity', create a client state of Labour voters and keep down wages.

So how do the BBC report this story, they are normally so keen to give us Ed Miliband's opinion on every news story? They don't, for some reason the BBC have decided that this admission by Ed Miliband is not worth reporting.
