In my view, the Labour Party encouraged mass immigration in
order to promote multiculturalism and, at the same time, advance its doctrine
of “diversity” with almost religious fervour.
The Liberal Democrats advocated mass immigration, without any upper
limit as far as England was concerned, in order to further their Internationalist agenda.
Now, the Conservative government has achieved record-breaking levels of net immigration. Ignore David Cameron’s pledge to cut net immigration to the “tens of thousands”: the Conservatives have a policy of mass immigration aimed at providing an inexhaustible supply of cheap labour for its friends and supporters in the business world to exploit.

As Peter Hitchens wrote in the Mail on Sunday (30th August), “. . . Tory concern about immigration was faked. They don’t want the power to stop it.”
This letter published in the Western Daily Press on March 14th still rings true today.
Immigration policy has failed dismally
David Cameron has failed spectacularly in his aim of reducing immigration to the tens of thousands. The failure is so total that one has to wonder whether he meant what he said in the first place. Furthermore, George Osborne has suggested that reducing immigration is now just an “aspiration”. It seems obvious that Conservative immigration policy is to have no upper limit on numbers; exactly the same as Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. Astonishingly, Nigel Farage too has abandoned any cap.
How can this country support a burgeoning population? If England is not to have a vast concrete and Tarmac urban sprawl from the North Sea to Offa’s Dyke there needs to be a stable population. Sadly, for the English and their green and pleasant land, such a policy would be anathema to the British political establishment which appears intent on making England the most densely populated place on Earth.

I did a few calculations (well, my Calculator did!) of the population per square mile in France, Germany and England. In France, it's about 270; in Germany, 580 and in England, 1050 (and climbing!)
ReplyDeleteNicola Sturgeon was today quoted in the media, self-righteously criticising the Prime Minister for his stance on the migrant crisis, accusing him of a "walk on by" attitude. Funnily enough there was no mention of the number that she would be willing to take in Scotland.
Clive,

England is a relatively small country off the coast of Europe and, as your calculations confirm, is one of the most densely populated countries on Earth.
DeleteHowever, those who oppose any controls over immigration put their case as if this country could sustain a hugely increased population and was of a similar size to the USA, Canada, Australia or Russia.
It makes me wonder if they have ever looked at a map!
Since writing the above, I have read that our Nicola is willing to accept one thousand refugees. Scotland's population density is around the 150 mark.
