ONS UK National Population Projections, 2014-based projections

The latest population projections from the Office of National Statistics has the following key findings:

The official population of the UK will reach 70 million by 2027.  It is currently 64.6 million.

51% of the the predicted increase is net migration and 49% excess of births over deaths.  (Net migration is the difference between immigration and emigration.)

27% of births are to migrant mothers. " Thus about 68% of the projected increase in the population over the period mid-2014 to mid-2039 is either directly attributable to future migration (51% of projected growth), or indirectly attributable to future migration through its effect on births and deaths (17% of projected growth)."

Given that the number of immigrants is much higher than the number of "net" migrants, 100% of all population growth is due to immigration.  Without immigration the population would be decreasing (See note below).

ONS Population Projections
The UK will experience the largest increase in population of any EU country by 2039:

The UK Government and Media are trying to guarantee that they will have disaster stories from the UK in the next 50 years by encouraging population growth. See Climate change 'already affecting food supply' – UN .

Decent people who wish to see their children housed and the beautiful English landscape preserved will be alarmed by these figures.  Vicious urbanites who are happy to see all the land of England ruined by housing and roads and imagine themselves emigrating when the destruction and population pressure becomes unbearable will be happy.  Quite simply the pumping up of the population to 20m beyond the sustainable population for the UK (40-50 million from domestic food production) is insane.


If you vote to remain in the EU you will seal Britain's fate.


Note on 100% of growth being due to immigration

THE ONS has been really creepy using "NET migration" rather than immigration.  Imagine the UK without immigration.  In the period 2014-2039 Some 2.9m people would be born in excess of the number that die.  However, 300,000 people are emigrating every year so 7.5 m would be lost and the population would decline by 4.6m.  All population growth in the UK is due to immigration, without immigration the population would decrease.

The creepy ONS has simply discounted the 300,000 immigrants that balance the number of emigrants and the media have lapped this up.


There is also another myth surrounding migration.  This is the myth that migration solves the demographic bulge by supplying young workers to earn money to pay pensions.  It is obvious that all that happens if migration is used to pay pensions is that the population will be expanded until it can be expanded no further and then we will run out of money.  "Migration to pay pensions" simply produces a far worse problem in the future.

Do Muslim women want to wear the Burka (Burqua)?

Do all islamic women want to wear burka?  Can a woman's freedom to wear what she wants oppress other women?  Are western feminists aiding a cult that is dedicated to the destruction of feminism?  I hope to answer these questions in this article.  I would much appreciate any comments you might have if you disagree with the article, especially if you have a feminist viewpoint. Here is a description of the problems of wearing burka by a woman of Asian origin: "Of course, many veiled Muslim women argue that, far from being forced to wear burkas by ruthless husbands, they do so out of choice. And I have to take them at their word. But it is also very apparent that many women are forced behind the veil. A number of them have turned up at my door seeking refuge from their fathers, mothers, brothers and in-laws - men brain-washed by religious leaders who use physical and mental abuse to compel the girls to cover up. It started with the headscarf, then went to th...

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

The Roots of New Labour

This article was written in 2009 but is still useful to understand the motivation behind New Labour - from the global financial crisis through the over-regulated, surveillance society to the break up of the UK into nationalities. The past lives of Labour Ministers have long been sanitised and many biographies that include their shady communist and Marxist pasts are inaccessible or removed from the net. The truth about these guys is similar to discovering that leading Tories were members of the Nazi Party. If you are a British voter and do not think that this is important then I despair for British politics.  Had these people taken jobs in industry their past might be forgotten and forgiven but they continued in left wing politics and even today boast of being "Stalinist" or International Socialist (or in Blair's case, Trotskyist ). Peter Mandelson (first Secretary of State and Labour Supremo): "Mr Mandelson was born into a Labour family - his grandfather wa...
