Nigels view on how to stop the riots.

[Mrs Ten Names]

According to this, definitely 10m in the last 30 years and nearly 10m in the past 20.

You omitted the final column, showing that UK is falling down the world ranking for world share of population.
And the prediction is for UK to fall even further down the world ranking.
Currently UK is ranked 280th in the world for population density.
So world population is growing, yeah we knew that. But UK's population is growing slower than other countries, and it's well down the ranking for density.
So what's the problem?

Fewer than 2 million were migration, from your table.

Nigel Farage wasn’t saying it was and neither am I. What he said is that a ten million increase in population over the last 20 years has put a massive pressure on peoples lives.

 

[Mottie]

So world population is growing……But UK's population is growing slower than other countries, and it's well down the ranking for density.

Rest of the world is not my concern. I don’t live in the rest of the world.

 

[JonathanM]

But we have not had 10million over the last 30years.

I've checked a bit more what he might be talking about. I think he's actually saying ten million population increase since Tony Blair came to power. Which seems almost feasible; just under 68 million now compared with just over 58 million in 1997. And that 85% of that increase is down to immigration. I don't know if that is true.

 

[Mottie]

It doesn't go into race either. We have all sorts from all over the place in numbers also a wide variety of skills. But lets forget all of that.

It doesn’t matter about what race they are unless you are racist. They all put pressure on our public services.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

of course all this throwing people in prison for not agreeing with him could seriously backfire this winter when it could become very difficult to get gas boilers serviced or repaired!

What does that say about gas engineers.

Ones like that I wouldn't want in my house.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Murders?

throwing people in prison is all about two tier kier removing his opposition from society - putin does the same

Has he locked up any innocent person?

And people in here are screaming for the death penalty

It doesn’t matter about what race they are unless you are racist. They all put pressure on our public services.

However it very much does matter to certain elements of our politicians, undesirables and general public. They are very keen to make the direct link between lack of access to services and migrants, dismissing the fact that whilst migrants might be a contributing factor, the main factor in the demise of our services sits directly with government decisions over past years.

NIMBY attitude.

Only about 1.6 million is due to net migration.
The rest is due to some other reason.

 

[JonathanM]

This is where I got Farage's claim

https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/the-impact-of-migration-on-uk-population-growth/#:~:text=Population estimates show that net,growth from 2004 to 2022.

Population estimates show that net migration was a major component of population growth over the past two decades (Figure 1), making up 60% of population growth from 2004 to 2022. Natural change—i.e. the difference between the number of births and deaths—has remained positive throughout the last two decades but has fallen since 2011.

Read again what he said !

 

[IT Minion]

Speaks slowly and deliberately to give credence to some ridiculous claims.
10million migration figure is pure
Nonsense .

But who cares.
