Immigration to the UK - may be just beginning.

I am aware of the 'scare mongering' in the title for this post

 Let's face it there has always Immigration ot the UK; want to stretch the clock back by millennia we are all immigrants.

There will be many people who welcome that change, but it should at least be debated – and the extraordinary thing about immigration and British politics is the extent to which it has not been debated

.

However facts are facts and Immigration to the UK - may be just beginning.

So if you think large scale migration is over under the present UK government, you’d be wrong.

In July, Croatia joins the EU and from this new state of 4.3 million one can expect young people to make use of their right to work and travel anywhere in the EU, including the UK.

And let’s pause for a moment to reflect that it’s still the policy of this government – indeed of all the major parties – to admit Turkey to the EU – after which all 75 million odd Turks will have the same right to come here as the Poles, currently about half a million and counting.

By figures of the latest UK Census, it  doesn’t come as a surprise either that the number of Muslims in Britain has increased by a million.

But as mentioned in my qualifier, there has always been immigration, it has risen and fallen, but this change in population (as shown by the latest UK census) marks radical discontinuity.   London has become a city state, radically different than anywhere else in the UK, anyone who denies that or tries to placate those who say it...is livinng in La La Land.
The recent Immigration on the scale the UK has recently witnessed changes everything: public services, planning, religion, politics

The demands that so many arrivals place on transport, schools, the health system and social housing are enormous; that’s rarely factored into audits of costs and benefits from immigration.

And there will be, despite the Brits' stoicism,

a greater strain on what we politely call 'social cohesion'.
