England To Be Most Crowded In Europe

England to be most crowded in Europe

By Christopher Hope, Home Affairs Editor

The population of England will increase by a third over the next 50 years as it becomes the most crowded major nation in Europe, official forecasts suggest.

The population density in England is almost double the level in Germany

England's population is now 50 million, but by 2056 it will be 68 million – or 1,349 for every square mile. At present there are 1,010 per square mile.

In London, the population density will jump from 12,377 people per square mile to 13,910 over 20 years.

The Conservatives, who obtained the figures from the Office for National Statistics, called for tariffs on migration.

Damian Green, the shadow immigration minister, said: "This demonstrates the real pressure public services are being put under as a result of Labour's immigration policy."

The population density in England is already almost double the level in Germany and quadruple that in France.

About 1.3 million immigrants have arrived in the past decade. Yet the benefits to indigenous Britons have been questioned, most recently by a cross-party group of peers.

London aside, the biggest rises will be in the East and South West of England, up 16 per cent by 2029, while the population of the North East is expected to remain static.

Scotland's population will remain the same at 171 per square mile; Wales will have 15 per cent more residents by 2056 and Northern Ireland will have 19 per cent more.

For comparison the most densely populated state, New Jersey, has 1,138 people per square mile.

There are no "benefits" to England by mass Third World immigration, notably Muslim.

It means the death of the nation, as it is drowned in a sea of foreigners.

England and Europe were populated by people who evolved there over 30,000 years, with the important differentiations happening in the last 12,000. The Europeans are ethnically related to each other and genetically distinct from the other nations of mankind. There is no reason for their lands to be overrun.

This isn't happening to any of the nations of Asia and Middle East, who react violently to even the smallest of population incursions. There is no good reason why any of the European nations should be submerged by this tide of genocide.

England will be a third world country in about 20 years. (Huge parts of the UK are already third world). The Labor Party and the BBC liberals will see to that. Nothing can prevent that now.

America will take about 10 to 15 years longer to become a third world country. (Huge parts of the United States are already third world). The Democrats and the MSM will see to that. Nothing can prevent that now.

The UK reaction to this development is a puzzle.

Maybe the word "tariffs" in England means something other than a simple tax.

England should accept immigrants from its former colonies at some preferential rate. But not at the rate which changes it from being British.

In my county in California, we have 1.1 persons per square mile. I can't imagine what it must be like living in a population density like England's

Currently Alaska has less than two people per square mile. Way too many to suit me.

I think your math is a bit off. I found the following relating to CA:

okay. here are some figures from the census bureau, relating to population estimate for California in 2006 (July)

population 36,457,549

land area 155,959.34 square miles

divide population by area, and you get population per square mile of land, which in 2006 would be 233.76 people per square mile

You are right, my math was a bit off.

In my county we have 17,980 people

Land area 10,203.10 square miles

We actually have 1.8 people per square mile here.

Actually that represents immigration from the past. Most likely to move to England, and the UK, are economic migrants from Eastern Europe. Poles, Latvians and the like. These are all Christian countries, and the people happy to earn money, live and practice their faith here in England.

The Muslim immigration came from some time back. Today it is very different, but if one didn’t do the necessary research, then you could easily think that all migrants coming into Europe were from further afield.

Oh, and you have to understand the right sides views of the newspaper, they are going to want to push this topic ahead of the GE in 18 months.

Just try reading a few more books and web articles about England, migration and economics, you’ll see we’re doing fine.
