The BBC recently reported on immigration figures over the last year. Go find the article yourself if you want to read it; I won’t be linking to their site. If you do go, you might find the highest rated comments encouraging; I often do. Here’s what Aunty Beeb had to say:
Migration figures remain steady (our destruction remains steady – relax).
Net migration to Britain has stayed at 250,000 over the last year. Note the use of “net migration” as the leading figure – of course, this is the number of immigrants subtract the number of emigrants, MOST of whom are indigenous folk. This means if a million were coming in each year, and a million were leaving (or fleeing), the government would claim that there was no immigration.
The article then mentions a change in the net migration figure by less than 20,000 – hardly a consequential figure in the scheme of things, especially considering the word NET is still floating around.
Here’s some perhaps slightly better news, but not much better: the number of people leaving the country fell by 74,000 to 343,000. Let’s plug this back into net migration to figure out the true number of immigrants if there is a net migration of 250,000 and emigration of 343,000, for example.
Net migration looks at immigrants and then subtracts emigrants, so to get back to immigrants we have to add emigrants to the net figure. This gives us 250,000 + 343,000 = 593,000 actual immigrants.
Close to this figure is helpfully provided by the BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani, who says that since the general election, immigration has remained just under 600,000 – “one sixth of them returning Brits”. Now obviously we cannot rely on that fraction since the BBC has an extremely strange idea of what constitutes a Brit – i.e. someone who migrated here in a year other than the one we are measuring.
Even assuming the one-sixth figure for returning Brits is correct, that still gives us about half a million foreigners coming to this country every year. This is significant in comparison to our population: if we take the World Bank figure of 62,218,761 as the UK’s 2010 population, then it would take about 124 years of immigration at this rate to make up our entire current population with foreigners. This doesn’t take into account illegal immigration (possibly tens of thousands per year) and foreign birth rates (also massively influential – pushing down that number of years to several decades).
The article points out that these figures show what a challenge it will be for the government to reduce immigration to its promised “tens of thousands” per year (by 2015 by the way – allowing for another 3 years of insane mass people-imports).
There are two ways of looking at this: firstly, that the government has no intention of doing any such thing. Remember the BBC man said since the general election? Exactly – it’s remained constant in the many, many months Cameron has been in power. He’s done nothing, and if you read my article the other day, you’ll know that the establishment has either been careless or deliberately lax in their checks on immigration to boot.
Alternatively, maybe they really are determined to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands – by accelerating the rate at which the natives flee what used to be Our Islands. (Kudos goes to Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch, who reckons that these figures “are disappointing”. No kidding.)
There is also mention of the change in asylum seekers (gone up by 11% - did you expect it to decrease?) Apparently this is due to more newcomers from Libya, Iran and Pakistan. I wonder what could possibly be causing that. Do you have any suggestions?
Oh, don’t worry by the way. Kind old Theresa May will be making the UK Border Farce a “separate law-enforcement body” with its own distinctive ethos – just to make sure only good immigrants can get in, and not the bad ones.
