TV review: The Day the Immigrants Left

The Day the Immigrants Left was supposed to answer the question: could the UK cope without its immigrant workers? But the questions it posed about British attitudes to work were more interesting. Presenter Evan Davis went to the Cambridgeshire town of Wisbech to try an experiment aimed at answering the first question. He proposed a one-way job swap in which unemployed British people would do the jobs currently filled by immigrants for two days.
