No! No! No! We clearly need hundreds of thousands more people turning up here every year just to ensure that we can run the NHS, staff our care homes, pay for our pensions, man all those car washes, etc. etc. In no way do/will any of them add to the problems they've so thoughtfully come here to solve by growing old, getting ill, needing schools/housing, receiving benefits, requiring pensions, emitting carbon... No, when the time comes and having given their best years to the UK and selflessly put a great deal more in than they've taken out, we can rest assured they'll all go back home thereby never becoming a burden on UK PLC themselves...
There clearly is a point beyond which population growth will stifle the UK so do we wait for the country to grind to a halt before we act to control immigration etc. or do we make the decisions whilst we can reasonably accommodate and support the needs of the population we have whilst maintaining our quality of life? Right now very few people seem willing to even accept the basic premise let alone try to get to grips with it before it's too late.
