This is just too depressing for words. The country can't cope as it is, but to add millions more will be impossible to cope with.

And they will in time stop waiting for hand outs and start taking what’s ours. You can see the seeds in the rapes and the robberies.

This is my fear too, they will soon work out 1) that the police are overwhelmed/hopeless and 2) how to take much bigger/easy prizes in wealthy neighbourhoods. London suburbs are already seeing an epidemic of car thefts and police seem to just let it happen.

I think they've worked that out already I'm afraid

If that trend does continue, I really can't see myself wanting to stay in the UK. The country that I was born in, and grew up in, is ceasing to exist. The direction of travel is frightening and unless it changes its not where I want my kids to be either. The infrastructure of the country will not keeping up with this population increase which means all the public services will get worse. Its Reform or bust at the next election for me...

It's either the US or an Eastern European country like Poland / Hungary or Russia. Those will be the only nations left fighting for what's left of Europe

I saw you pop into Dewbs last night and summarise this. Then as now it leaves me feeling very glum . Not least because of the censorship of MSM. This is big news but they won’t bring it to people’s attention .

The Labour/Green pro immigration alliance is strong . Am hoping very much to see signs of hope for a future Reform government in the May elections .

If Reform don’t form the next government with a working majority then the tide will be too high to turn and Britain as we know it will be on the road to extinction .

Well to give the Beeb their due, their Panorama programme exposed the scamming criminal lawyers helping people to stay who have no business being here.

Strangely, almost every other country in Europe is set for plunging populations; Italy for instance is going to see a 30% drop in their population, while we are going in the other direction and being swamped with Third World immigrants who make us poorer. So, why is this? What is so attractive about Britain compared to other European countries? I do not suppose that our benefits are a big draw for poor immigrants, are they?

The question that nobody is asking is why we need immigration at all, when we have 9 million people in Britain of working age who are not working and living on benefits? Why do we not force these people into work and stop building all over our countryside in order to house the new population? The Government has taken the opposite approach and is encouraging as many workers as possible to sign-up for benefits, in order to replace them in the work force with immigrants, so it is obvious that this is a deliberate policy.

We are told that we need immigrants to offset our ageing population, but this is obviously tosh, because the bill for our 9 million layabouts could be slashed if we simply stopped their benefits! On top of this, with the advent of AI, we will need far fewer workers, and we are forecast to see unemployment rise to 14 million, so it is obvious that the number of people working will never be able to meet the welfare bill of those who are not, so we should be shedding immigrants, not bringing-in new ones.

Britain is so much more closer to the American model of economics.

We are living through the Americanization of Britain.

Both America and Britain are captured by International finance capitalism.

Lenin predicted that Capitalism would suck in labour from across the World and America would be the prime example.

Professor David Betz's conditions for civil disorder increase. The next government, after 3 more years of Labour, faces an in-tray from hell.

Mrs Bucket's avatar

Exactly, Reform may well win, not difficult when the incumbents are so appalling. But on taking office they'll face massive, organised, civil disorder and chaos.

This is terrifying, not just because of the implication for our environment, but because of the implications for our culture. Do we want to see this green and pleasant land concreted over, endless queues for basic services, road congestion and pollution? In the current climate we should be becoming more self sufficient in energy, food and water, not endlessly increasing the population and buying resources from abroad.

Then there’s the threat from radical islam whereby the aim is for a worldwide caliphate. They don’t hide this aim, it’s becoming increasingly and openly stated. Once the numbers are great enough, particularly of those in positions of power, we will have shariah law with all that entails for democracy and women’s rights.

The land of free speech, human rights, Magna Carta etc is turning into a third world ****hole before our eyes and our dear leaders are not only ignoring our pleas to do something, they are actively encouraging it all whilst abusing us for caring. I despise them all.

These numbers highlight why net migration is such a poor metric. It masks the real demographic change that is taking place. Net migration of 2.2 million masks the fact that another 7.2 million immigrants and 5million mostly British born leaving really does change the look, feel, culture of the country especially if those leaving make a greater economic contribution than those entering.

That’s all right. They’ll all be paying tax into the country’s coffers thereby creating an economic utopia. 🤣🤣🤣

David Asquith's avatar

Untutored as I am in the art and mystery of economics I find it impossible to understand why more people are needed to make us all wealthier. I suppose it’s fair enough to think that if the established tribes of Britain don’t want to exist any longer then our islands should be taken over by other tribes. But it’s not as simple as that - who knows what the psychological effect on the old tribes will be as they endure a century of ever more intensive marginalisation of whatever they think they are? Do we really expect the new tribes to treat the old ones as equals? Of course not. The old tribes of Britain need to stand their ground for the sake of their descendants, however few they may be.

All political parties have to be honest. The demographic trajectory of Britain ( the West/ the Global American Empire/ LiberalCapitalism) is baked in.

Only mass Remigration can stop it.

If a political party is not going to do that (Remigration) then they need to be clear to the voters they aren't going to do it.

If we fail to have a government committed to Remigration then we will become a minority in our ancestral homeland.

Whatever happens, we need to step over the old Left v Right paradigm and organise for our OWN collective interests.

We the ethnic English people need our OWN political representation.

Particularly as the demographics get worse.

I would also not be surprised that the 5 million projected to leave Britain will pay on average significantly more tax than the 7.2 million who will migrate to Britain. The problem is therefore far worse than simply the numbers involved because GDP per capita will continue to decrease meaning less investment into infrastructure, hospitals, GP's, police, water availability and so on. And yet millions on the left continue to deny there is a problem. Simply mind-boggling.

Husband manages a GP practice. He says about 80% of applications for jobs are Pakistanis on student visas. Another scam in plain sight.

Just read a story about a Romanian deported for rape of a minor who has snuck back into the country and put in a claim for universal credit. They obviously know they can get away with olympic levels of scamming and criminality.

I haven't read Matt's new book yet, so that I don't know if he has suggested what I wish to suggest as an essential start to tackling this problem. Reform must commit to a moratorium on all immigration for the next 10 years at the very least. As well, that is, as turfing out all illegals, and banning the entry of Muslims. There are enough youngsters on benefits to add to the workforce and, from the staff now manning my local supermarkets, it looks as if the retired are back at work helping out both themselves and the country.
