Those figures are out of date, we are almost the end of 2005, so please use uptodate figures al lot can happen in 5 years.

The link makes very interesting reading, unless some people don't agree.
A quote from the page:-
'About two-thirds of annual population growth is directly due to excess immigration (more in than out), with one third due to natural increase (more births than deaths). If allowed to continue, according to the Office of National Statistics, more than 80% of future population growth will be due to net inward migration. The consequences of this scale of population growth can clearly be seen in plans to build at least a million new homes in the South-East, many of them on greenfield sites or suburban sites.'
Recently on the ITV Teletext Pages, there was an item which said that 60% of the children born in London during 2004 - 2005 were born to foreign mothers. (I will try and find the link)
Awaiting your comment.
