Winston Churchill once said "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

Sydney will need to find room for a million more people in the next 25 years.
Meanwhile...
• The UK’s population is projected to rise by 7.2 million
from 2004 to 2031 – 6.0 million (83%) of this rise is due
to immigration.[2] That’s equivalent to two cities the size of Cambridge every year, or 6 cities the size of Birmingham over the 27 year period, needing to be built because of immigration.[3]
• 59,000 new homes will be required in England
each year for the next 17 years for immigrants.[4]
• In 2004 12.0 million non-EU nationals arrived in the UK[5]. How many left? No one knows – we have no embarkation controls.
• In Inner London 57% of all births are to foreign-born mothers.[6]
• 70% of net international migration is to London. In recent years a net 100,000 migrants a year have been arriving in London and there has been a net movement of 100,000 existing residents from London to the rest of the UK.[7]
• The cost of running the Immigration and Nationality Department of the Home Office rose from £300 million in
1998-1999 to 1.9 billion in 2003-4.[8] Legal aid costs of £170m a year are additional.
• England is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. It has nearly twice the population density of Germany, 4 times that of France and 12 times that of the USA.

Looks like I'm not the one who should be worrying.
But hey - I knew that already.
