It`s only a boom if it`s followed by a bust.
Depressing isn`t it. As if this cra*hole isn`t already an overpopulated hell hole.

Must think positive thoughts....positive thoughts.....positive thoughs.

At least there will be more people to buy stuff and purchase homes therefore improving the economy

[Lockhouse]

Just over two-thirds of the increase is likely to be related directly or indirectly to migration to the UK.

Demographics, dear boy, demographics.

[Doggy Styles]

Millions more on the roads or in the schools, packed into trains, and forcing us to build more homes over our diminishing countryside.

10m+ Mmmm, can't think what's caused that then.

Let's not forget David "I see no limit on the number of immigrants who should be allowed into the UK" Blunkett.

and I don't recall any of his colleagues or any Labour MP challenging those words when he spoke them as Home Secretary (I think) abour five years ago.

I'm sure about a month ago I heard something on the Beeb world service about the government wanting to restrict an increase in the population to a "manageable" 70M. Don't know the whys or wherefors as didn't hear the whole article.

But then they did get their estimates about migrants from Eastern Europe horribly wrong by a factor of 10(?). Can't recall exactly but it was a vast underestimate.

10m+ Mmmm, can't think what's caused that then.

I believe it's all the retired expats who can't survive on their pension at current exchange rates.

Obviously.
