Census shows record rise in population for England and Wales

[TheLastLazyGun]

Figures have just been released from last year's UK census and they show a record rise in population for England and Wales.


Whitechapel, London: England has Europe's fourth-fastest growing population, mainly due to immigration

The census shows that England and Wales now has a population of 56.1 million - an increase of a whopping 3.7 million since the previous census of 2001.

This marks the largest growth in population in any 10-year period since the first Census in 1801, and a rise of approximately 50% since 1911.

In total, England's population has now risen to 53 million, Wales' has risen to 3.06 million and Northern Ireland's increased to 1.8 million. Figures for Scotland will be released later in the year (the Scots have to be awkward). London's population has grown by 12% since 2001 and it now stands at over 8 million, which makes it the world's ninth-largest city. It is estimated that the total UK population now stands at 63.1 million.

Incredibly, England has the fourth-fastest growing population in the whole of Europe. Wales has Europe's tenth-fastest growing population.

It's also revealed that 55% of the UK's population growth was due to immigration - a damning indictment of the previous Labour government's open door policy.

I would have thought that a good unionist such as yourself would have been aware that there was no such thing as " last year's UK census".

Obviously, I was wrong.

How many of the 55% came from the EU?

It is very likely that the tipping point in England, where folk of Asian origin form the majority, will soon be reached.
As a majority, democracy dictates that the customs, culture, language, religions and Laws of the majority are the norm.

Exciting times, indeed.

Yes, there was. It's that large form that has had to be filled out every ten years since 1801.

Does it matter? We shouldn't be letting them all in anyway.
