Britain's population to hit 70 million by 2029 The population of Britain is set to increase at its fastest rate in at least a century, driven by an immigrant 'baby boom'.

Sustained growth of the level predicted has not been seen in at least a century Photo: PA In just 24 years it will increase by 10 million - and hit 70 million in 2029, the Office for National Statistics said.
That is less than half the time it took to go from 50 to 60 million between 1948 and 2005.
Every year 425,000 more people will be living here, the equivalent of a city the size of Bristol.
Immigrant numbers have fallen only 10,000 from the last ONS projections two years ago.
They predict 180,000 new arrivals every year over the next quarter century.
When the immigrant 'baby boom' is taken into account, migration will account for two thirds of population growth.
It took 50 years for the population to increase from 40 to 50 million between 1898 and 1948.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said earlier this year that he "did not lie awake at night" worrying about the population hitting 70 million.
Guy Goodwin, ONS director of population statistics, said the vast bulk of the population increase would be in England.
Across Britain the total will hit 71.6 million in 2033 from just over 61 million now. Of those 60.7 million will be living in England.
"The failure of Labour to control immigration has left us in this difficult position

National and cultural suicide. We are on the same path.
And they are no longer an oil exporter, but I’m sure the new service economy will work out just fine with such a wonderful diverse population.
I guess that old chestnut about “No sex, please, we’re British” wasn’t just a punchline....
The time is growing close to when we will need to take back our country...(British..are you listening also?)
The time has come for the USA to take custody of Britain’s nuclear arsenal.

Churchill is rolling in his grave. All his efforts to save Britain could well end up being wasted.
The non Muslims need Tea Parties.
At least our imports are Christians not Muslims.
Maybe where you live, but there are as many Muslims here in Northern Virginia and Maryland, adjacent to the District, as there are Hispanics. At take a look at Michigan.
Maybe you clearly define "take back our country".
If you are talking about kicking the mostly Caucasian democrat liberals out of Congress, I'm with you.
If you are talking about an ethnic cleansing of the US citizens like the wwII roundup of the Japanese, forget it.
And since when do you define who is "our country" (aka "us") and who is "their country" (aka "them")
Pleae clarify who is "us" and who is "them".
“National and cultural suicide. We are on the same path.”
Ours could be worse, with a psychopath in the White House.
Guess it depends. The Brits already have a socialist system in place, one that was planted right after World War II, and extended their wartime misery well into the 1950s. What we should learn from them: once these socialist institutions, such as National Health, are established, it is impossible to root them out.
Churchill saving Britain? True. How about Charlemagne and Charles Martel saving Europe?
“At least our imports are Christians not Muslims. “
They are beheading more people in Mexico and bringing their
narco terror here than the Muslims are.
Our imports do NOT practice civilized Christianity. But keep giving yourself that false notion of security and see where it gets us.

Difficult, but not impossible. Most of those socialist institutions, in the core sense of the state ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, were indeed abolished in Britain by the mass privatisations of the Thatcher government: subsequently continued and extended under Major and even Blair. Out went public ownership of coal, steel, water, electricity, gas, telecoms, rail and a good deal more.
There is a difference between selling off an asset and dismantling a service-provider that provides “free” service.
Indeed. But the cases I have described were, nonetheless, socialist institutions, and they have indeed been abolished - with no attempt by the Blair/Brown Labour governments to restore them.
Yup.
