76% of babies children of immigrants

[VHG]

Quite from BBC web site:

"In the London borough of Newham, which has the highest number of births to foreign-born mothers in the country, the figure was 75.7%"

Oh dear, I can hardly bring my self to comment. I will let the "facts" speak for themselves.

in Newham. So would you prefer them to be dispersed more widely around the country, which would greatly decrease the Newham figures while marginally raising everyone else's? Or just sterilise them?

VHG makes a very relevant post.

How long can we continue overpopulating this small Island.....the UK?

[jake-the-peg]

Since when did the population of Newham represent the entire Island sqad?

[eyethenkyew]

Well, look on the bright side: house prices in Newham, if any houses are still available there, that is, should fall considerably. There's always a silver lining, eh?

[Sqad]

jake......if there is an increase in population ANYWHERE in the UK it adds to the already overpopulated island.
This leads to pressure on the Health Service, Education and the Transport Sevices.

We need a population increase to pay for the pensions of the elderly. Remember, rather than taking our old in, we normally leave them to freeze to death in their damp flats.

With so many Brits sitting on their obese backsides, hurling chicken nuggets down their engorged throats flicking between Jeremy Kyle and Bargain Hunt, we need hard working immigrants to fund the future pension black hole.

If you were to go to Easington in north-east England you will find it is the least diverse with only a 2% of the population from an ethic minority.

I will let this fact speak for itself. ( whatever that might mean).

Quite Gromit, yet another example of selective stats, nuch like the fiscal studies you posted the otehr day !

In years to come the taxes that these children will pay as adults will help keep us in our dotage.
