Population growing by 1,000 a day, Office for National Statistics shows

The population of England and Wales continues to grow by 1,000 a day, latest figures show. 

Over the past decade the number living in the country has grown by twice the European average, fuelled by record levels of immigration and a higher birth rate.

 "Two-thirds of our population increase is down to immigration.

Only Germany and France, which are far bigger, are now home to more people than Britain, the Office for National Statistics said.

Its latest estimates highlight the scale of the challenge faced by ministers in meeting their goal of reducing net migration – the number who settle each year minus those who move abroad – to the “tens of thousands” from the current level of 200,000.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the pressure group Migration Watch UK, said: “It is absolutely absurd to find that our population is continuing to shoot up in this way.

“Two-thirds of our population increase is down to immigration. That is the only element that the Government can control and it is high time they did so.”

The ONS’s latest calculations show that the population of England and Wales increased by 95,000 (0.17 per cent) between Census day last year, March 27th, and the mid-year point, June 30th.

This works out at more than 1,000 people a day, taking the total to 56,170,900.
The population changed over the three months in 2011 as 187,600 babies were born and 121,000 people died.

Some 98,200 foreign nationals moved to Britain with the intention of staying for more than a year, while 68,500 people left the country, putting net migration over the period at 28,400.
The ONS noted: “Immigration flows are comparatively lower for the three-month period between end of March and June.”

Historical figures showed the population of England and Wales has grown by 20million over the past century including a 4m rise in the past decade as border controls with Eastern Europe were relaxed.
“The increase in population between 2001 and 2011 was the largest in percentage terms in the last century,” the ONS said, excluding the Second World War.

The population increased by 7.3 per cent since the turn of the millennium, twice as much as the 3.5 average across the Continent.

England and Wales now has the fourth largest population among 26 nations in Europe, but Britain as a whole is third in the rankings.

In order to reduce net migration, the Home Office is cutting the number of visas offered to international students and restricting the number who can stay after graduation. Only the most skilled foreign workers can take up jobs in Britain and must earn at least £18,600 if they want to bring their spouses over as well.

Britain's support to the Middle East and North Africa £110 million

The Arab partnership supporting the fundamental change in the Arab region is set to expand its work in its second year running by allocating £12 million of support from the political fund and about £25 million from the economic fund. This is a big increase in Britain's support to the Middle East and North Africa from a £110 million-worth launched in February 2011. It was created by the British government to coordinate its support and policy to the undergoing changes in the region since the Arab spring.

Psychology of confidence: Multiculturalism destroys trust, economic well-being, happiness and social cohesion

The Danes are the world’s most trusting people. Historians and researchers believe that the Danes' nature of trusting other people goes back to the time of the Vikings. The Vikings' domestic economy was simply built on trust: If you live in a time with no police or courts, and you entrust some animal furs to a trader, you need to be able to trust that trader to pay you your money once he returns - often months or years later - from his trade trip.

Trust is very important for the economy to function. According to some researchers, a "10 percent negative change in the level of trust in a population will cause a half percent negative change in economic growth." Both Vikings and anybody who has ever borrowed or lent money knows that trust is important when it comes to finances. Without trust, there will be either no deal or a lot of resources will need to be invested in insurance, lawyers and bureaucracy.

Trust is also believed to be a prerequisite for happiness (Trust Hormone Associated With Happiness, Happiness flows from trust - etc.). Trust increases the feeling of security, and feeling secure is - unless you are looking for certain types of excitement - a necessity for feeling happy. No wonder the most trusting people are also the happiest.

Trust and sharing values

It is easier to trust people if you feel that you know them. This is why businessmen take the effort to travel to meet their clients personally. If you know that the other party shares the same basic values, you already know a lot about that person - because you know yourself. Sharing values means knowing each other, and knowing each other increases trust. This is why criminal gangs - which are built on a high level of trust - are mostly monocultural.

So what happens when people with very different cultural backgrounds and religious values live together? The level of trust naturally goes down. In order to preserve trust and the many benefits coming from this important feeling and experience, the different groups tend to live together in enclaves separated from the other groups. It is important for people to feel "at home" - but what makes that feeling of being at home? It’s the feeling of being surrounded by a recognisable environment and culture where one does not have to communicate excessively to reach mutual understanding and thereby trust.

A decrease in trust leads to a decrease in the feeling of safety and happiness as well. As psychologist Abraham Maslow showed us in his hierarchy of needs, and as all who have been able to learn from life's ups and downs know, not having our basic needs fulfilled leads human beings to focus more on their own basic needs before focusing their efforts on benefiting those around them. Thus a decrease in trust means an increase in egotism.

Proponents of multiculturalism may think that they are working for more confluent societies with more tolerant citizens by waging lawfare against our national borders and thereby forcing us to live with people from cultures that we basically do not know and understand. But their efforts are clearly counterproductive, as the result is cultural segregation and individuals focusing more on themselves. The multiculti segment clearly lacks knowledge of human nature, and their ivory tower theories completely overlook normal real life experience, established psychological theories and well known facts.

Multiculture destroys trust

It is understandable when people from countries, where you need to be more egoistic to survive, have less reason to trust others to the same degree, and tend to exploit the good will and trust from others. The same goes for people from religions that tell them that adherents of other faiths are unworthy of the same respect.
A recent sample conducted by the Danish tax authorities among Somali immigrants showed that 92 percent of Somali immigrants evade taxes. On average they cheat Denmark of 8,300 USD yearly. This is possible because of the Danish system Tast-Selv ("type in yourself") that allows taxpayers to type in their income to the IRS themselves. It is a system built on the state's trust in the taxpayers and is meant to save a lot of time and money. We are also seeing an alarming increase of so-called trick thefts committed by foreigners and immigrants. Here the thieves, often disguised as police or nursing assistants, deceive the home owner into letting them into the house. This type of crime is another example of exploitation of the typical trusting Danish/Western nature. The alarmingly high degree of tax evasion and social fraud among non-Western immigrants, especially Muslims, is well known but politically incorrect to speak about. A large investigation in Høje-Taastrup, Denmark, showed that 75 percent of all social fraud is committed by immigrants - other countries have similar problems.

Trust makes people happy and countries rich, but letting people from less trust-based cultures into our fellowship turns this strength into our most dangerous weakness. Multiculturalism corrodes trust, a cornerstone for happiness, economic well-being and social cohesion - and thereby eats away at our whole way of life.

The globull warming fraud is collapsing before our very eyes

Globull worming shysters, working for the UN, want immunity from prosecution. That was part of the discussions  in Rio…. proof they haven’t been conducting honest research. It was a massive fraud from the very beginning.

Climate Shysters Seek Immunity from Prosecution or Investigation

    “Big Green” just seems to keep getting bigger with the new international Green Climate Fund. The Green Climate Fund, an offshoot of the United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCCC) on Climate Change, budgeted for some £100 Billion dollars a year, supposedly intended for programs to lower greenhouse gases.

Seeking Immunity from what…?

    But before they start, the Green Climate Fund founders want to ensure the organization and its people will enjoy UN-like diplomatic immunity from prosecution or international investigation. This despite the fact that even the UNFCCC is not considered to be part of the UN and not allotted such immunity. More from  Michelle Stirling-Anosh, Yahoo! Contributor Network

Now They Call it ‘Climate Justice’– but its still the same Agenda 21

You may recall that the criminal shysters who are obsessed with taxing us to death took us from ‘climate change’ to ‘global warming’– then they  soaked us with ‘carbon pollution’ to sell  the ‘carbon tax’ –which will “keep us  and future generations safe from dangerous climate change”.

We all know that  the climate will not change, but we shall be taxed.

Once again the progressive globalist watermelons who profit from this racket met up in Rio to enjoy the sights, to sip champagne and  to squander our scarce resources all with the intention to soak us some more.

Flying around the world, meeting people, boozing, eating, talking nonesense and producing a lot of nothing for personal gain. All  paid by by other people. That’s what it’s all about. “Peer Reviewed”.

Lord Monckton Sticks a Fork in Rio+20

Lord Christopher Monckton, chief policy advisor to the Science and Public Policy Institute and former science advisor to Margaret Thatcher, tells The New American from Rio that the just-concluded Rio+20 conference was not about saving the planet or eradicating poverty, but about shackling the plant under global government. He also optimistically stresses that the “pointy heads here in Rio” have failed despite their declaration of success and that “the game is up.”

This is no time to let our guard down, but the great countermoonbat Lord Monckton has some good news regarding the fizzling of the international green Marxist movement at Rio+20:
