Net migration to push UK population to 72.5m - ONS
BBC News ^ | Jan 28 | Sofia Ferreira Santos

Posted on 01/28/2025 5:28:38 AM PST by RandFan

Net migration could fuel a rise in the UK population to 72.5 million by 2032, figures suggest.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has projected a population growth of 7.3% between 2022 and 2032, compared with an increase of 6.1% over the previous 10 years.

The number is almost entirely based on the net migration - the difference between those entering and leaving the country - of an estimated 4.9 million people over the 10-year period.

The number of births and deaths is expected to be roughly equal, while it is projected there will be an additional 1.7 million pensioners by 2032.

Between mid-2022 and mid-2032, the ONS projections suggest:

6.8 million people will be born

6.8 million people will die

9.9 million people will immigrate long-term to the UK

4.9 million people will emigrate long-term from the UK

Reacting to figures, shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the number immigrating long-term to the UK was "shocking and unacceptable", and must be "stopped from materialising."

KEYWORDS:
Guess how many net new hospitals they built over the last 10 years?

None.

Housing? Inadequate.

They refuse to build the infrastructure to handle this growth therefore it causes plenty of issues.

Those things require large pensions. The leadership is importing people who do not need them, but will hopefully pay taxes.

The UK’s Deep State doesn’t care.

This has been going on for decades now.

The desired end result will ensure that the people who voted for Brexit will be outnumbered in perpetuity.

Maybe that whole colonialism thing wasn’t such a great idea.

That’s more in line with what I think

Thee importees are not what perhaps we’ve had before they’re from places like Afghanistan. Literally goat herders. All those on the boats are from fcked up conflict zones .

Same deal on your side. You ain’t getting the brightest and the best are you?

I’ll bet that is playing hell with their “carbon footprint”. Probably more like a Sasquatch footprint.

The transition of the UK into North Pakistan is well underway at this point.

brits SHOULD be more concerned about the percentage of population that is muslim because at a certain percentage THEY WILL RULE YOU...and The British isles. remember friends, “The ONLY difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they follow their own religious beliefs”. once they go devout everyone else look out.

I hope I was clear. The Government is balancing the budget on the backs of the people. It has set up a Ponzi scheme of spending which is only supported by unsustainable growth. It can last a little longer, or be more resilient, with lower spending and a sustained tax base.
