A baby boom fuelled by the highest fertility rates in a generation has pushed Britain's population above 61 million for the first time. There were 408,000 more people living here in 2008, the Office for National Statistics said. But immigration is still impacting on population growth because 56% of the increase in births last year was from non-UK born mothers.

The vast wave of

I bet more than half of the increase were Muslim and non-Christian Faiths. Read Buchanan’s “The Death of The West” Indeed, what may ask are there any Christians living in Britain any longer?

"Just look at the development within Europe," said a triumphant Norwegian imam a few months ago, "where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children. Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours."

I read this article and it didn’t make much sense to me. The greatest increase was among non-British residents. It didn’t identify this group, but I assume that they are Muslim. Many Eastern Europeans left Britian, which is itself interesting. If I understand this article, and that’s a big IF, England is becoming part of the Islamic Nation at a faster rate.

I read a few weeks ago that the number 1 baby boy name in the UK for 2008 was Mohammed.

All western governments are purposely encouraging immigration both legal and illegal to help save their social programs.

The baby boom and subsequent baby bust destroyed the whole model for social programs which were built with a growing population in mind.

So basically they are letting in the foreigners to pay for the social security of the boomers.

Aye, you're right. Polish people look a lot like that. I guess you assume it is swarthy skinned people overrunning the place? Let me assure you, we have more Poles than you can shake a stick at in the UK- they have been coming in droves.

Also, I am one of the foreigners who has infiltrated the UK as well. I am lily white American.

Your comments are stupid.

I don’t give a sod about England. I live in Scotland. I don’t really give a sod about Scotland either but I like it better than England by several orders of magnitude.

Don’t feel like reading your link.

I’m about to watch Ghost in the Shell/SAC. Much better than politics. Be back in a while. Or not.

Here's another link for you just written today and published there in the UK in case you need to understand what is actually going on in the UK related to this issue.

I wish you well there, unfortunately your government there in the UK has disarmed you.

I guess you don’t get out much. That explains your social skills.

The statistics don’t lie and are well published.

No you don't/

I live in Scotland.


We are talking about England. Pay attention. Do you have statistical data to back up your assertion that most of the births are NOT due to Muslim immigrants? Or are you just here to be a jerk? Never mind. Don't respond. Enjoy your anime. In the future if you don't actually care about what a thread is talking about don't post on it.

Ok. You’re right I’m wrong. I retract everything I ever said. I also declare myself to be a scum-sucking piece of excrement. If you have other suggestions about how much of a worthless piece of sh!t I am- I agree with everything you might say.

I did enjoy the anime by the way. I have watched the entire series a few times. I like to watch one episode when I get home from work.

I don’t care if I messed your thread up or not.

Social skills are for people who like to suck up to one another. To me, you're all just useless meat. I'm nice when it gets me somewhere but if it were up to me what to do with all of you... Trust me. You don't even want to know.

It's not my government. I am American. Born in middle Georgia.

Handguns are illegal here. Many freepers seem to think rifles and shotguns are as well but this is not the case.

I don't care about all that though and wouldn't want to get into a discussion about it.

There are a butt-load of Polish people here though. I understand what is going on in the UK because I live here. Ok? You can believe what you want. I notice most people tend to no matter what any way.
