Miscellaneous - Britain is Full

By 2040, the population of the UK will have increased by 15 million immigrants, according to figures calculated, or made up, by the government's actuarial department. That's an increase on our current population of more than a quarter, an enormous rise - even assuming that our natural population growth remains fairly static. It will be balanced, the actuaries suggest, by 10 million people leaving the country, which means a net increase of about 10% (5.4 million, to be precise), which is also pretty huge. The first question that occurs is - why the hell do they want to come here?

In the main, these are not asylum seekers or economic refugees. They are, according to the government, from Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe. What's wrong with them? Don't they know what it's like here? If they want a cold, damp and foggy continental appendage inhabited by morose and borderline xenophobic natives, why don't they try Kamchatka? It's cheaper and there's more room.

Britain is too crowded, and an increase in the population of 10% will make us much more miserable than we are now. Our infrastructure cannot cope with even the current level of population. The chaos on our railways, the pensioner waiting for days on a hospital trolley, the traffic pulverising our towns and clogging up the motorways, are as much a function of overcrowding as they are a result of under-funding or incompetent management.

So, why the hell do they want to come here? Two words: Welfare Benefits.
