The number of people migrating to the UK each year will be 45,000 more than previously predicted, figures suggest.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) had estimated that the net increase in population due to migration would be 145,000 a year.

But it has now revised that prediction upwards by about a third to an increase of 190,000 migrants per year over the next two decades.

The Conservatives say the UK "cannot cope" with this rate of growth.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, shadow immigration spokesman Damian Green said: "We can't carry on like this.

"This involves a population of a city the size of Liverpool being added to our population every five years or so, and obviously our public services, our infrastructure, housing demand and so on cannot cope."

Mr Green said his party wanted to see "an explicit annual limit" on the number of people allowed to enter the UK.


If the government think close on 200K are arriving annually, it is probably nearer 2,000,000 per year.

Is there an accepted "real" immigration figure? If so, anyone know what it is?

Do they have to be scousers?

We'll have to nail everything down.

Property is theft.

True Socialism is on the way!

It's only fair!

from a HSBC USA property report

>>In London, 108,000 people earn over £100,000 per annum, with a further 38,000 earning over £200,000 per annum.

>>Currently over 35% of Londoners, out of a total population of about 7.5 million, were born outside the UK - and that percentage is heading towards an estimated 50% over the next decade as the population heads towards 8.5 million, begging the question of where they are all going to live, as it seems crowded enough already

>>Surprisingly, London is actually one of the least densely populated of any major city. Kowloon has 1700 dwellings per hectare, Barcelona 500, Paris 300 and London only 78. Indeed, if London had the same density as Paris, it would have a population of 35 million

How about we send all himigrants to Liverpool?

Sounds impressive until you realise that's less than 1.4% of the population earning >100k.

England is projected to have 171,500 new migrants a year, over 40,000 more than previous estimates.

Scotland's new arrivals are put at 8,500 a year compared with 4,000 previously, while Northern Ireland's population is likely to rise by 500 a year rather than fall by the same number.

Conversely, Wales is now expected to receive 2,000 fewer new migrants overall than previously thought.

Immigrants, they're not stupid.

We certainly can't carry on like this, what with shadow immigration spokesmen not being able to do their sums correctly. Liverpool has a population of 440,000 so this is a city the size of Liverpool being added every 440,000 / 190,000 = 2.3 years, more than double the stated rate. 0/10 see me after school, Damian Green.

Speaking of which zeity, any news about those pikies they tried to evict? You know, where the race commission got involved?

I think I'm disgusted but I can't remember who with.
