More strain on the NHS, Education, housing, plus the fact that the indigenous population of this country are losing their identity.

Maybe it will mean more Care Assistants, Slaughter House workers, fruit and veg pickers, etc, etc, in the future AOG !

[gingejbee]

It obviously concerns you.
I never worry about things that I have no control over...there's no point.
You should try it.

[Bigbad]

Yes, AOG, it’s something that I’ve said all along.
The more people we let in, the more the population of the UK will grow resulting in more of a strain on services.
According to the 2011 Census, only 45% of people in London were white British. At this rate the same will be true throughout the UK.

[mikey4444]

bigbad....drivel. There are lots of places in Britain that never see a non-white face.

I notice though, that you thought it germane to use the word "non-white"......the article made it quite clear that

"Poland was the most common country of birth for mothers born outside the UK"

Aren't most Poles white ?

[mikey4444]

Poles, in general, are mostly Roman Catholic !

[Bigbad]

I should have known that mikey, the well known migrant hugger would show up as soon as I posted.

The article I referred to used the term white British

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20680565

It makes no difference whether they are white or black, European or African, the fact remains that 2 people can be allowed into the UK. Those 2 can become 4, those 4 can become 8 etc, all will need housing, schooling, medical services, and very often financial support.

[mikey4444]

Bigbad....but you used the phrase non-white, not me !

[Bigbad]

Errrr, no I didn’t:

“According to the 2011 Census, only 45% of people in London were white British”.

[Baldric]

Mikey, could you please highlight the post where Bigbad used the Phrase "non-white"?

[Bigbad]

Thank you, Baldric.

[Mamyalynne]

Mikey, if you re read your own comments you will see it was you who first used the term - Non White.

[Bigbad]

And thank you, Mamyalynne.

[FinnyMick]

Non white faces in Britain, ware dat den ?

[FinnyMick]

Caught out there mikey. Any response ?

O' dear white foot in white mouth.

It's an incredible statistic and would be interesting to know what the numbers are for other countries.

[hereIam]

Yes, we should be very concerned, our identity is slowly (but surely) being eroded.

[Baldric]

30 minutes gone, it must be proving difficult to find ;o)

>>the fact remains that 2 people can be allowed into the UK.

It does not need to be two.

How many of you realise that if a woman (or man) from any other EU country comes to the UK and marries an illegal immigrant then because the woman / man is from the EU it gives the right for the illegal immigrant to stay in the UK (as the husband / wife of an EU national).

So a hard up woman (or man) from say Romania could be offered money to come here and marry an illegal immigrant to grant them status to stay.

I think it is scandalous that a person from say Romania, who does not care one jot about the UK, can have the "power" to decide to stays in the UK.

One of the reasons why I voted to LEAVE the EU.

Is it true what I read today, that the present government are thinking of building a transit / holding camp for immigrants, near a place called The Broadway , at Herne Bay.?

Two new cities in Scotland.
