Sorry, I’m wondering if you would be so kind as to rephrase your question? I’m having difficulty connecting the dots between birth control, fees for on-street car parking and muslim immigration. Perhaps you could elaborate on where you are going with this? Thanks :-)

I think ch.man meant that this kind of policy would increase the ‘price’ of having children (children need big car), so assuming people have a same income, they would prefer less children, which would lead to lower birth rates. Lower birth rates among ‘native’ British will result in a smaller labor force in the future, and assuming constant productivity they will need more people to maintain their economic growth. This means that the country to needs immigrants to fulfill the labor demand. Judging from what (some) Labour officials have said about the need to have ‘multicultural UK’, a big chunk of the immigrants will probably come from Islamic countries.
