It’s interesting that there is growing concern in the UK about the general increased crowdiness that is an unavoidable result of unsustainable immigration. The place was already crammed when the Labour Party purposely turned the I-spigot on full blast more than a decade ago.But now the United Kingdom has reached nearly 660 residents per square mile, and average Brits can see that their country has rapidly become more crowded. People are talking about the need to stop importing more inhabitants.

The number of people in Britain shot up by more than three million under 13 years of Labour government.
Around 70 per cent of the increase was due to immigration — either directly through new arrivals or their children.
The count is now 61,398,000 — up by 3,084,200 since 1997.
