Immigration into Britain: These Are the Facts

immigration-britain-demonstration-london-01The British National Party is the only political party which has consistently sounded the alarm on the topic of mass immigration into our country.

All the other parties, assisted by their controlled media, have either attempted to downplay this topic or to attack and smear the BNP for daring to openly discuss it.

What then, are the facts about immigration into Britain?

- According to an August 2008 Office for National Statistics (ONS) study, some 2.3 million immigrants have officially come to the UK in the past 16 years, the vast majority of whom are from the Third World. (Of the 2.3 million, only 205,000, or 8 percent, came from the new East European members of the EU.)

- August 2008 French government statistics showed that more than 1,000 Third Worlders pour into Britain from northern France every month.

- A report by an all-party group of Members of Parliament in 2008 said that more than one million illegal immigrants were living in Britain – a population equivalent to that of Birmingham.

- An August 2008 ONS report showed that nearly 25 percent of all babies born in Britain were from ‘foreign’ mothers. The ONS said that 758,000 babies were born in Britain in 2007, and that births to foreign-born mothers rose to 160,340, or 23 percent of all live births.

- More than half of all births in some towns and cities, including London (54%), Slough (56%) and Luton (51%), were to non-UK born mothers. This figure peaks at 75 percent in the London borough of Newham. As the key areas reporting the biggest baby boom were London, West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire – all areas of long-settled Afro-Caribbean and Asian immigrants, it is highly likely that once these figures are added to the 25 percent ‘foreign’ birth rate, then as many as 50 percent of all babies born in Britain in 2008 were of Third World origin.

- The ONS population report states that, on average, ‘foreign’ women have 2.5 children each, rising to 3.9 for those from Bangladesh and almost five for Pakistani women. The number of babies born to British mothers is also rising, but lags far behind immigrants at an average of 1.7 children each. From this it is possible to deduce that white British mothers are only producing 1.5 children at a maximum, against a required replacement level of 2.1.

- The ONS has also predicted that the British population could reach 71 million by 2031, with migrants and their UK-born children accounting for 70 percent of that growth. This fast-moving trend means that babies born to immigrant mothers are set to become the main driver of Britain’s population growth within the next few years, taking over from immigration itself.

- The ONS also released official immigration figures in August 2008 which revealed that 69 people – mostly Third Worlders – entered the UK every hour. According to the ONS, in the 2006/7 year period, a record 605,000 people moved to Britain – the equivalent of 1,650 a day. The number of foreigners living in Britain has increased by 1.1 million in three years – enough to fill a city the size of Birmingham.

- More than 10 percent of all people living in Britain in 2008 were foreign born. Their rising birth rate has fuelled an increase in Britain’s population to nearly 61 million in 2007 – an increase over 12 months of 388,000, equivalent to a city the size of Bournemouth.

- In 2004 the number of people who became British citizens rose to a record 140,795 – a rise of 12 percent on the previous year. This number had risen dramatically since 2000. The overwhelming majority of new citizens come from Africa (32%) and Asia (40%), with the largest three groups being people from Pakistan, India and Somalia.

- When the illegal immigrant population estimate is added in, the final conclusion of all these figures is that the total population of the United Kingdom was, in mid 2007, some 62 million people, of whom at least 13 percent were of Third World origin.

- Figures from the Department for Children, Schools and Families showed that in 2006, school pupils from the ‘ethnic minorities’ accounted for almost 22 percent of pupils at primary school and 17.7 percent at secondary level.

This means that Third World-origin school children accounted for just under 20 percent of England’s 6.5 million primary and secondary pupils in 2006 – a doubling of the figure within one decade.

Across inner and outer London, black and Asian pupils outnumber white British children by about six to four. In secondary schools in Brent, north-west London, which is one of the capital’s most non-white boroughs, only seven percent of pupils were of white British origin in 2006. A further 36 percent were classed as Asian and 24 percent were black.

In Tower Hamlets, east London, less than 15 percent of primary school children were classed as white British, compared to 63 percent Bangladeshi Asian.

In Birmingham, which has around 300 schools, 57 percent of primary and 52 percent of secondary pupils are from non-white British families. In Leicester, Luton and Slough, white British pupils were also in a minority at both primary and secondary level.

Bearing in mind that these figures have doubled within 10 years, and that there is therefore an exponential growth rate involved, these figures mean that, well within the next two generations, immigrants and the children of immigrants will form a majority of school children in Britain.

This means ‘ethnic minorities’ will simultaneously make up the majority of the country’s population, and Britain will have changed from a First World nation into a Third World nation – if nothing is done about the situation in the very near future.

Over the short term, however, there are a number of more immediate results. The first and most directly felt effect of this massive immigration wave will be simple overcrowding. The population of the UK is already at record levels, and immigration has pushed population density in England to a higher level than any other major country in Europe.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics in 2008 show that there are on average of 395 people in every square kilometre in England.

This is an increase of five per sq km over the previous two years. The increase pushed England’s population density above the previous highest figure set by the Netherlands.

England is already more densely populated than India, and within the European Union, only the island of Malta has a higher population density.

Britain’s population is set to increase by about six million by 2031, of which 5 million (84 percent) will be due to immigration. Eighty percent of net migration is to London and the South East where the population density is one of the highest in Europe.

This overcrowding results in substantial congestion costs. A report by the Downing Street Strategy Unit suggested that the number of commuters to London is expected to increase by 10 to 20 percent by 2010.

Household projections are continuously revised to take account of the ever increasing immigration levels. In the period 1996 – 2021, the number of households is expected to increase by 4.5 million of which about one third will be a result of net inward migration.

Meanwhile, a recent report on London, commissioned for the Mayor, predicted an increase in population of 700,000 over the next fifteen years to 8.15 million, much of this due to international migration.

This will require 400,000 new houses and 130 new schools.

Legal immigration at the present projected rate will lead to a requirement of about 1.5 million houses in the period 2003 – 2026. Over the next twenty years, one in three new households will be the result of immigration.

Since brownfield sites provide two thirds of new homes, net immigration is the main reason for greenfield development. The extra population also adds to the pressure on transport and water supplies, both of which are already facing serious difficulties.

As of mid-2007, some 30 percent of London’s population was of Third World immigrant origin. This has led to children in London schools speaking more than 300 languages. The rapid rate of racial demographic change has meant that the English language is fast becoming a minority language in the capital of Britain, and, unless the process is checked, will become extinct in the foreseeable future.

In the last ten years, at least 600,000 white Londoners have left the city to be replaced by 700,000 non-white immigrants. This is changing the whole nature of London and other major cities. Whites are set to become minorities in Leicester, Birmingham, Bradford and Oldham by 2016. In all of these cases, the extinction of the indigenous English culture will follow as surely as day follows night.

The massive Third World immigration wave is well on the way to destroying the state physical infrastructure, such as the National Health Service.

According to a survey by the Royal College of Midwives issued in 2008, the quality of NHS care has plummeted because ministers failed to predict a massive rise in the birth rate among immigrant mothers.

Four in 10 midwives questioned by the RCM said care was worse as a direct result of the rising birth rate – and it was putting mothers and babies at risk. Almost all – 91 percent – said the birth rate had shot up on their wards over the past few years, putting their units under intolerable pressure.

As a result, several maternity wards at NHS hospitals in areas which serve largely white areas of the country, have been forced to shut their doors for months at a time because staff were needed elsewhere to deliver babies from foreign-born mothers in immigrant-dense areas. The cost of providing maternity services for immigrants has more than doubled in only a decade to £350 million a year.

Official figures from the Justice Ministry in Britain show that at least 11 percent of all prisoners in jail in mid-2008 were Muslim – a striking indication of that community’s grossly disproportionate participation in crime in Britain.

In May 2003, Chris Fox, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) told The Observer that “the mass movement of people around the world had brought new levels of organised crime, with drug dealing, gun offences, prostitution and kidnapping.”

“Mass migration has brought with it a whole new range and a whole new type, from the Nigerian fraudster . . . to the Jamaican concentration in drug dealing . . . if you go into some of the cities, looking at the North, Bradford simmers, Blackburn simmers. It doesn’t take much to disturb the balance, and I think we’ve got to be very careful to make sure that we’re not overwhelming our current infrastructure.”

After the conviction of Danny and Ricky Preddie, the Jamaican murderers of black youth Damilola Taylor, an article by Minette Marrin in The Sunday Times of August 2006 pointed out that: “The government has been either unwilling or unable to control, or even to estimate the vast numbers of new arrivals. Only now is it beginning to wonder whether this influx was an entirely good thing. At the time of Damilola’s death the ethnic composition of north Peckham in Southwark, where the estate (where he died) lies, was 43.4% white, 15.9% black Caribbean, 26.6% black African, 4.1% black other, 7.9% Asian and 2.2% other . . . Southwark today is still considered a high crime area by the Home Office and a high youth crime area . . . Violent crime there has risen from 10,000 incidents in 2000-01 to 12,500 in 2005-06, even though huge sums of money have been thrown at the problem.”

In the second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Criminology (1997), David J. Smith writes: “The rate of imprisonment for drugs offences was 10.8 times as high among blacks as among white men.”

The high crime rate among black immigrants in Britain has traditionally been ‘excused’ by allegations of ‘discrimination and police bias.’ This is, of course, nonsense. David Smith dealt with the topic this way:

“Although some bias against black people has been demonstrated at several stages, and although some apparently neutral criteria have been shown to work to the disadvantage of black people, the magnitude of these effects seems small compared with the stark contrast in rates of arrest and imprisonment between black and white people.”

The Third Edition of the Handbook of Criminology (2002) shows Home Office statistics of the male prison population by ethnic group, 1985-99. In 1999, the number of white males in prisons was 49,961, the number of black males was 7,355, the number of South Asians was 1,895, and the number of Chinese and other was 2,081.

In the same handbook, Coretta Philips and Ben Bowling make the following observation: “Ethnic monitoring data on Britain’s prison population have been available since 1985. The first statistics revealed a marked over-representation of West Indians, Guyanese, and Africans within prisons among both males and females.”

North African, African, and Caribbean youth gangs are responsible for the rising incidence of group rapes. The victims are overwhelmingly white women. Scotland Yard reported: “Suspects of African and Caribbean appearance were identified in 49 percent of attacks. A further 13 percent were committed by men of Indian/Pakistani appearance.”

In England, gang rapes and “jack rolling” (gangs of youths in cars block off streets and rape every woman caught in their net) were introduced into Britain by young blacks from Jamaica and South Africa.

Only a halting, and reversal, of the immigration policies of the past few decades can prevent this problem from threatening the very existence of Britain as a First World nation.
