You do realize that according to this the population has only gone (adding natural and net miggration together) up by 5million between 2003-04 and 2013-14 don't you? So it has doubled a natural increase that would have otherwise naturally decreased. I call that highly significant.

You seem to be extrapolating current trends into a place in the future where your grandchildren will be affected; yet these immigration trends have been occurring for a relatively short period (10 years at most). The only constant is change, and undoubtedly immigration and emigration numbers will alter again in future. It is quite possible that Africa will become a self-sufficient continent within the next 20 years. Much of Asia already is self sufficient, and growth there will continue in all probability. And it's a very long way from Indonesia to Dover, so I wouldn't worry unduly about that scenario. Ethnic groups tend to find ways to get along over time. Green Lanes in north London is one of the few places in the world where Greeks and Turks live side-by-side with little or no friction. And it's only ever a tiny minority from any religious group who use their beliefs to beat up others. Most want the same things that you do, a peaceful happy life and a good future for their families.
As for trends not continuing. 90% of the worlds population will live in Africa,Asia and Indonesia within 200 years and the World population will have increased to as much as 13 billion by 2100. You think that Europe and the US with much lower population density won't be a magnet for economic migrants alone?

The invention of contraception must have played a big part in that. However, Britain has had the fastest population increase of any European country in the last decade and that trend is increasing.

Ultimately. We must remember that each wave of migrants, and they will be continuous with world population increase and displacement, will have several children each. Most likely more than the average. Even if that trend slows for one wave of migrants, there will be another right behind them. The population will sharply increase year on year and an ever increasing proportion of them will be migrants.

I think the ship is not being controlled by the captain but by some people in Brussels. In other words, we do not have control over economic migration to our own country. I will be interested to see if we leave the EU and then if government still dances to the tune of business or actually cuts European immigration as the majority of the population want.

If we don't control it, then how come there is to be legislation saying migrants have to earn over £35k if they are to be able to stay? Sounds quite controlling to me.

The population has increased by 10 million in 50 years and by half of that in the last 10. 53% of that has apparently been by caused directly by immigration. Had immigration not occurred. Britain's population would have started to decline owing to decreased birth rate and a greater proportion of old people.

I will be interested to see if we leave the EU and then if government still dances to the tune of business or actually cuts European immigration as the majority of the population want. In 2014 48% of migrants to the UK came from the EU. Which means that 52% didn't. Leaving the EU won't affect the latter (much) and add that to my earlier ageing population assertions you can surely see that the problems with regard to population will still be with us even with an exit. This idea that stopping EU migrants will cure our ills is just plain wrong. It will make a very small dent. Definitely not worth leaving such a powerhouse for. We will be cutting off our noses to spite our face by doing it.
