OK, OK, I've been wittering on about
immigration for
a while, and nothing changes: I'll repeat some of those words
from last year:
- There is no housing crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no hospital/A&E crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no school-place/teacher crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no doctor/nurse numbers crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no police/fire service crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no infrastructure/road crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
- There is no employment crisis: there is an immigration crisis.
As Migration watch says:
"What is the problem?" [
LINK] "
Immigration is a natural part of an open economy and society. The
problem for the UK is that the current level of immigration is much too
high."
Now, to make matters worse, the Office of National Statistics say they have been
underestimating migration numbers for ages, something we really knew but nobody can prove: "
Our research has clearly shown that no single source of data can fully reflect the complexity of migration."...getting their excuses in early.
Trouble is, ONS is 'official' figures and the excellent Migration Watch also work off 'official' figures; the UK population 'officially' stands at
67 million . HOWEVER, it is surely much, much higher: "
...the population of the UK is presently somewhere between 77 and 80 million"...in 2007! [
LINK], that report disappeared for a while and has resurfaced. That article has also had its debunkers but amusingly no proof has ever been given to really disprove it; yet with the inaccuracy of the census, hundreds of thousands of additonal National Insurance numbers every year, the plethora of crises (see list above), the unknown number of illegal immigrants etc., we can safely say the article was most likely more right than wrong...and the ONS figures are
a massive UNDER estimate.
