    To be honest, Mr. Submarine, I am a bit lost on why recording the number of overseas workers is such a dreadful thing.

    When I was working we had to record the sex, ethnic make-up, self-identifying skin colour and religion of all our people, and more latterly some attempts were made to force us to record sexual orientation (with some difficulty, I might add). What is so different about recording country of birth, which is something that has been on many application forms for donkey's years).
    Hurst, you have to be kidding , where have we heard of keeping secret lists of foreigners by authorities. I can think of two perfect examples of why any intelligent person shoiuld be horrified to be associated with any such thing , that nice Mr Hitler in Germany and the equally nice Mr Lenin in Russia. This si what happens when you have extreme nationalist governments.
    All Universities record the "diversity" of job applicants.
    Schools as well. Moreover since any non-EU applicants have to have work visas, that's effectively a list right there.
    No still as creepy
