Migration 'tipping point reached'
Immigration could lead to the political break-up of Britain, according to right-wing think-tank Civitas.
A pamphlet by the group suggests that Britain may have reached a "tipping point" beyond which it could no longer be seen as a single nation.
Shadow home secretary David Davis has called on the government to put a cap on those coming to the UK.
The Home Office said it had already announced a tough new points system aimed at immigrants.
The Civitas pamphlet - A Nation of Immigrants? - said the "seemingly reckless pace and scale" of immigration was bound to cause concern for people who saw the UK as a model of tolerance and freedom.
The government must apply a limit on the amount of people entering the country
The 100-page booklet said Britain may have already reached a tipping point beyond which it could not longer be said to be a single nation.
"Once such a point is reached, political disintegration may be predicted to be not long in following," the report said.

Yeah, like this is actually going to really happen. I guess there are some elections coming up soon?
