Thread Name: BS: UK immigration too high?
Subject: RE: BS: UK immigration too high?
Mr Happy you accuse me of not pointing out that
The Office for National Statistics said the surge was caused by an unprecedented combination of trends - rising fertility, rising life expectancy and rising inward migration.

I could accuse you of pushing a half truth for not pointing out that our rising fertility is itself due to immigrants who have a much higher fertility7 than the existing population.

You also accuse me of not posting the projections for low and zero immigration because they are much nicer than the projection for continued high immigration.
BUT MY WHOLE POINT IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER FUTURE IF WE COULD ONLY ACHIEVE A LOWER RATE OF IMMIGRATION!!!
