Britain Defies Europe's Falling Fertility Rate

The UK is bucking the trend of Europe's falling fertility rates with a significant rise in the number of births per woman over recent years.

Women in the UK are giving birth at an average rate of 1.9 children each, significantly higher than other major European nations like Germany.

The figure - which rose by 12% between 2003 and 2013 - ranks Britain third in the EU by fertility rate after France and Ireland.

Some experts say migration has bolstered what would otherwise be declining rates of childbirth, as British-born women are having fewer children or delaying starting a family until later in life.

1.9 is good news?...when the replacement rate is 2.1. And yes the recent immigrants do have larger families.

I would bet that the birth rate for native Britons is probably 1.5 - 1.6.

Should make the fairies in Parliament happy, not to mention the brain dead Windsors.

Statistics show one in four mothers in the UK is now born abroad, a level which has been steadily increasing since 1990.

"All the figures show that people born in or raised in the UK aren't having many children, if at all," said Nina Steele, founder of www.nonparents.com.

"Immigrants are really the ones behind this birth rate.

"From my research I'm surprised how many women born or raised in the UK are choosing not to have children, not just because of infertility, but by choice."

In other words, native born Brits have chosen to exterminate themselves.

I suspect the whole declining fertility thing falls into a category of junk science like global warming. It would be blamed on global warming if the left wasn’t invested in importing Muslims to rape European women. ...The real blame, as I imagine it, is a steady diet of processed foods, and sugars. The men are getting fatty balls and tired prostates. All those healthy young Muslims come in, and prove that the women are still breedable, while European men watch politically correct porn.

Of course it could be that we’ve gone from having children in our teens to having children in our late thirties. That has to raise havoc on fertility rates. Kick the Muslims out, and breed earlier.

In past generations, only the Royal Family was inbred. Now the entire population will enjoys the benefits of lowered IQ, genetic disease, and psychotic maniacs.

Thousand years ago, it was William the Conqueror. Now it’s Muhammed the Conqueror.

Mohammed says rape is okay as long as you capture the woman first. Really. That’s Sharia.
