General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

This is Wot I know Whups.

The population of England and Wales has risen to 59,597,300, the first results from the 2021 census have shown.

It grew by more than 3.5 million (6.3%) since the previous census in 2011, and has more people over 65 than ever.

When added to published census figures for Northern Ireland and official estimate of the Scottish population for 2020, the UK population now stands at 66,966,400.

The rise is one of the biggest since the census began in 1801.
