SHOCK: Soaring immigration and rising birth rates could see UK population double
BRITAIN’S population could virtually double in a lifetime because of soaring immigration and rising birth rates, experts said yesterday.
Numbers could top 110million by 2081, according to the Government Actuary’s Department.
The shock figures came as teachers and nurses warned that pressure is piling up on local services because of Labour’s open door immigration policy.

More..viser Professor David Blanchflower said the numbers flowing in from eastern Europe show no signs of stopping and have helped force down wages. He even warned that many migrant builders who first headed for Ireland will now come here to help build the Olympics.
The alarming picture is a devastating blow for ministers who have only recently admitted their policies have had a social impact as well as an economic one.
It comes less than two weeks after figures showed migrants are arriving in the UK at a rate of 520 a day.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: “This confirms what we have been telling the Government – that Britain’s population is set to grow rapidly.
“Labour need to wake up and understand the factors driving population change as well as the solutions.”
The Office for National Statistics last month warned the UK population could rise from nearly 61million to about 85million over the next six decades.
But this was based on factors relating to immigration, fertility rates and average life span.
Analysis published yesterday by the Actuary’s Department predicted what would happen if those rates changed over the years.
It warned increases in each of the factors would see our population hit 108,723,000 by 2081. That would only need net migration to increase from the current 190,000 to 250,000 a year, fertility rates to rise from 1.84 to 2.04 and average life span to increase by up to two years.
Such scenarios would also see the population pass 100million as early as 2071.
Sir Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch UK, said the projections were a warning that should be heeded.
The Government had “consistently underestimated the problem,” he added.
Giving evidence to a Lords committee, Steve Sinnott, of the National Union of Teachers, said schools were struggling to cope with new immigrants, especially from eastern Europe.
“The teachers have been pulling their hair out,” he told the committee, which is looking at the impact of immigration.
Josie Irwin, of the Royal College of Nursing, said there was not sufficient evidence available to examine the true impact on the NHS, but added there are particular difficulties in inner cities.

get rid of the stupid avatar and maybe people will take you a bit more seriously.
I agree, get rid of the criminals and illigals but to assume that it will fix all the problems is stoopid and naive.
There are millions of White British bellends here that we are stuck with. Quit blaming all of the ills on immigrants cus you are ignoring an important factor....and that is us

You really have got class, you superior human you.
Anyone that holds a political leader up as some kind of idol needs their head testing.....when the political leader is a racist thug that uses fear tactics and inaccurate propoganda to get his point over a wall of reality then you really are a twisted individual.
Take a look at every single constituancy where BNP has gained seats....the party members fail to turn up for meetings and when they do they are well out of their depth.
Bunch of thick morons

Imagine you old KKK dressed in suits and trying to act civilised....that is the BNP.
Posted Nov-28-2007 by "Spudmonkey" Premium
The BNP are the spitfires and the hurricanes sitting between this country and the surrender of all it stands for.
The BNP WOULD immediately
PULL OUT THE EU thereby stopping the free movement of people to Britain
Halt immigration.
Give the English an ENGLISH ASSEMBLY to break the domination of the Scots in Government some of whom seem to have an agenda to destroy England.
Stop BENEFITS to IMMIGRANTS.
Put BRITISH FIRST on council HOUSING lists.
Round up and DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS.
WE have to all give them our votes next May or whenever we get the chance. In every election within the country.
Unless you do you will be facing the RIOTS on BRITISH STREETS we see in Paris and saw in Bradford a few years ago. WITH GUNS as in Paris. It will happen
THE FUTURE OF YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN DEPEND on your voting for the one party who will defend the indigenous party of Britain. The BNP.
Do not fail because if you do you will be fighting the battles of WW1 &2 but in British streets. And I exaggerate not!!! Its that bad.
But just like in France riots on the streets as these parasites drain all the resources from our society and still want more at the expense of the inigenous population.
The UK can not cope with that rate of growth and any honest politician would admit this, if putting your own citizens first pensioners, the infirm and the vulnerable is racist then call me a racist.
Uncontrolled immigration will lead to civil wars all across what USED to be Europe GET OUT Return the scum and close the damn borders.
I for one shall be voting BNP as the only way my children and grandchildren will have any chance of a future in the UK!
"The British Isles"
As we know them will cease to be.
Our towns will merge with their nearest cities and our country villages will become towns.
Our green and pleasant land will be no more.
We can stop it but we wont and regrets will come later.
We are already one of the most populated countries on earth and we are now to stand by and watch the final destruction of the land our fathers fought for and died for.

Welcome to your future.
All of the Western nations have eaten the bread and watched the circuses while the evil bastards that wish to utterly rule the world have done their level best to destroy the middle class.
They wish to return to what they believe is the proper way of the universe and that being only two classes of people:
The rich
The poor
Guess which end of the stick you will be on ?
And just like us, here in America, you'll reap what you have sown and you only get what you deserve.
We only have ourselves to blame for the coming nightmare of western poverty.
I shall laugh at you all from hell and eagerly await your arrival.
