The government is always saying we need new towns to cope with the huge influx of immigrants (one new Birmingham every 5 years is the requirement).
What?? Where have they said that? I get the feeling this is more Schutzstaffel racist hype again. ..... I'm sorry SS but your rhetoric is starting to get on my wick.
The truth always hurts, I know, but just do the math instead of the stormtrooping ad hominems. Or I'll turn the tables on you, just as I did with Skippy.

The official figures show that nett immigration is some 350,000. Add a very conservative 100,000 illegal and undetected immigration to that, and you get around 450,000 immigrants per anum - net. Now five years of this, equals about the population of Birmingham - which is why we need many more towns anyway, and is also one reason why we need bigger airports.

Don't get mad with me, Aeromad, it was not my policy. If you don't like it, write to your MP.
