Golden Bear

When we was in the EU, immigration from the EU countries, increased at a 'frightening' rate, and people were saying like you have just said, well what happens when this country is full, is it already full, full movement of people within the EU was allowed from 2004 to January of this year, it was mental, and the figures are these.

UK population increase

1964 53 million

+40yrs

2004 58 million

An increase of 5 million over the 40yrs from 1964 to 2004

2004 58 million

+10yrs

2014 65 million

An increase of 7 million over 10yrs

And by last year 2020 the population of this country had increased to 69 million

In1964 53million

over 40yrs 5 million increase

2004 58 million

Over 16yrs 11 million

2020 69 million

So for that extra 11 million people who come here since 2004 we have the .....

Same or less hospital and GP capacity
Same railway capacity
A fraction of the bus service capacity
Same or less schools
A lot less police

But we have an extra 11 million people to look after

That translates into not getting an hospital or GP appointment
You cannot get a train seat, and if you can you have to pay rip off prices
You cannot send your kids to your local schools because they are already full up with immigrants children

etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

And Golden Bear that is why we have left the EU to stop that mental increase in population

But we need a few thousand immigrants a year to cover the jobs for which we don't have enough home grown workers for, and that is 'managed' immigration, we only take what we need.

As regards the Hong Kong passport holders, all them will not come here, a good proportion will go to other countries, such has America and Australia, but they cannot just walk into this country like the EU lot could do, they have to jump through a few hoops.
