When I read a report, this week claiming that there are 745,000 illegal immigrants living in Britain, my immediate reaction was: Is that all?
I've no idea where they got that figure from, but it has to be hopelessly wide of the mark.
Some had entered Britain in the back of lorries, others had overstayed their tourist or student visas and disappeared into the black economy. Many had ripped up their papers and flatly refused to say where they'd come from. 'The discrepancy between the official figures and what is actually going down the pipes shows there are more than a million more people in London than are legally registered and another half million or more outside the capital.'
Grown men pretend absurdly to be minors. Heterosexuals pretend to be gays fleeing persecution. Albanians pretend to be Kurdish refugees. Yet the system continues to indulge them.

The intention was to change the face of Britain irrevocably. Shamefully, during 14 years in government the Tories did nothing to reverse the trend, despite us voting to 'take back control' in the Brexit referendum.
The same thing is happening here. This week we learned that officially the population grew over the past year by 662,400 to a record 68.2 million. That, too, is almost certainly a few million short of the true number. Check the sewers. That's not to disparage the millions of hard-working migrants from Eastern Europe and elsewhere who have contributed so much to our society.
