A FRENCH politician has slammed Britain’s “grotesque and hypocritical” immigration policies for leaving Calais overrun with migrants.
“The thing they want is to go to England. In their original countries those people are saying, ‘If you go to England, you will have everything. You will have a house, you will have money, you will have a job, your family will be able to join you’.

The French are moaning about the buggers racing through their country to get to us. Perhaps they should spare a thought for the poor beleaguered British who can't afford the milk and honey bestowed on these often unwanted guests.

I have already proven that Britain lies only seventh in a table of the twelve wealthiest EU countries when it comes to the percentage of foreign born nationals. Austria and Sweden have up to 15%.
Everything else is noise  |

how do the benefit systems of other european countries compare to here.? there must be a powerful incentive for them to come here, but what is it? |

Some very interesting stats here. |
|
By:
There were 47.3 million foreign-born residents in the EU in 2010, corresponding to 9.4% of the total population.
The UK comes in at 11.3% but that is only part of the story because the largest part of these people are drawn to the large cities of England. |
|
By:
But of course that is only part of the issue. Who is coming? Is it highly intelligent/highly skilled people who will add to our increasingly knowledge/technology based needs?
Page 5 of the above report gives us a very interesting insight into this question: 63.4% of the EU residents born abroad come from Highly Developed countries Eurostat has recently started collecting data which show the distribution of EU residents by the level of development of their country of birth. For this purpose the Human Development Index (HDI) is used. The HDI is calculated by the United Nations under the UN Development Programme as a composite index that measures progress in three basic dimensions – health, education and living standards. Countries are classified into High, Medium and Less Developed countries. The group of High HDI countries consists mainly of Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, large parts of South America and some countries in Western Asia. Medium and Less Developed countries are mainly situated in the rest of Asia and Africa. At EU level, 63.4% of the foreign-born population were born in High HDI countries, 31.5% in Medium HDI countries and 5.1% in Less Developed countries. In Slovenia the percentage of people born in other Highly Developed countries was the highest (98.5%), while in France it was the lowest (40.9%). In four of the five Member States with the largest foreign-born populations - namely France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy - the share of those born in High HDI countries was below the EU average. This has the effect of lowering the EU-27 average, as a result of which,the share of most Member States exceeds the average.,In all EU-27 countries, the foreign-born population from High HDI countries was over-represented in comparison to the distribution of the total world population, of which less than 30% live in Highly Developed countries. |

When you look at the country we most resemble out of the EU 27 and the country we aspire to match in Germany it is very noticeable that when you compare us and indeed France to Germany and some of the other high end technology and service EU countries we are drawing a massive percentage of our immigrants from poorer countries largely more poorly educated countries. Countries like Germany are drawing in a huge percentage of their immigrants from (HDI) or richer largely better educated countries.
Given the fact of our relations with most of the HDI countries like America, Australia, New Zealand etc these figures are astonishing. That's a challenge we need to address. It isn't necessarily how many? It is how many and where? It's about existing population densities in those areas and it is also about the abilities of the people who are coming to this country. |

Pure gobledegook rubbish.
In Britain immigrants only come to the cities - In Germany they go to the Bavarian Mountains! |
|
By:
No northernlad. In Britain immigrants tend to go to England. In England the immigrants gravitate to the cities. England is comparatively small with a comparatively large population in the cities. But the figures quoted relate to the UK as a whole which is therefore unrepresentative. A country like Germany has a lower population density than the UK and within the UK the population density in Wales and Scotland is much lower than in England. The relative existing population densities between England and Germany and indeed most of the rest of Europe are very different. Therefore it is far more difficult for a country like England to take in more.
Which of that are you finding difficult to comprehend? After we've done that we can go on to discuss the actual people who are settling here compared to Germany. |

By:
The number of people living in England has overtaken the population density of Holland, which has traditionally been the most densely-populated major nation on the continent.
The count, which has been attributed to higher levels of immigration, shows England now has 395 people per square kilometre. The figures were obtained in a parliamentary answer from the Office of National Statistics. In 2008 the average number of people per square kilometre in Britain was 253, rising to 395 in England. Latest figures from Holland show that its population density was 395 a square kilometre in 2002 and 393 in 2005. It is estimated that English population density will rise to 464 people for every square kilometre by 2031. The population density in England is already almost double the level in Germany and quadruple that in France. |

I'm not finding it difficult to comprehend at all as there is nothing to comprehend your just talking rubbish.

By:
Which part of England has 395 persons per kilometre and it being nearly double that of Germany is rubbish?
Which part of we are taking the worlds poor while Germany creams off the highly educated and skilled is rubbish? |

And quadruple that of France?

EO stop telling lies-
Latest population density 2007. people per sq kilom. Malta 1261 Holland 394 Belgium 344 UK 246 Germany 225 Just to give some perspective Macau China 20,069 Singapore 19,863 Monaco 18,068 Hong Kong 6,516 Gibralter 4,250 Some more surprising- Bermuda 1,321 Maldives 1.065 St Maarten 1,101 Jersey UK 844 Guernsey UK 800 As population density's around the world go UK, is under populated, the sleepy US Island of Guam has 295 to the UK's 262. Try basing you arguments with facts rather than your racist nationalist bias! |

By:
Well firstly even an idiot wouldn't describe 2007 as the "latest". Secondly you still seem to be having trouble understanding that it is England where people want to live and it is England's population density which is relevant. Finally if you want to go "around the world" then do so. Don't just cite the places where population density is off the scale because they live on nearly every square inch. Let's have the figures for Australia. Let's have them for America. Let's have them for Canada. You know places where people actually want to live. You feel free to emigrate to any of the world's shiit holes if that floats your boat. Just don't try to turn the rose of England into what causes roses to grow.
In the meantime so you can get into the feel you want to create let us have your address so we can send round the twenty people designated to live with you. |

By:
So Jersey, Guernsey & Bermuda are s*** holes are they?
And yes lets include Australia with its uninhabitable deserts. USA - "Anyone for Death Valley?" or Canada If you like tens of thousands of square miles of frozen mountainous wastes! As for the Rose of England  being so fragrant, why the f*** do you choose to live in Scotland if its so aromatic down here?As I said you just talk rubbish - stick to putting out chimney fires! |
|
By:
Yep - including Scottish & Welsh mountain ranges will produce a meaningless low result in terms of populatiomn density.
Anybody using this stat obviously has a poor grasp of basic statistics & geography. Old story here claims England has highest population density in Europe. Of course if some uneducated lad was to include the British Antarctic Territory then the population density would drop. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/2967374/England-is-most-crowded-country-in-Europe.html |
|
By:
The population density of the UK is skewed by the relatively high numbers per sq km in England. For example in 2011 London's population was over 5,200 per sq km.
For someone who quite correctly refers to Australia's deserts and Canada's tundra regions, it's surprising that the vast, virtually uninhabited areas of the Scottish highlands and the scarcely inhabited hills and mountains of Wales are seemingly ignored. |
|
By:
Scotland highlands & Wales mountains VAST? In comparison with Canada's frozen wasteland and Australia's deserts and rainforests??? Don't talk through your friggin' dense arse!

By:
The reason for high population in Jersey, Guernsey & Bermuda is the numbers of hotel workers.

You really are a complete imbecile who cannot grasp a simple point! You are too stupid and rude to make it worthwhile attempting to explain. |
|
By:
There is nothing too explain.. you simply can not compare Canada & Australia's uninhabitable regions with Scotland's & Wales, there is absolutely no comparison.
Those county's population density's are always going to be among the lowest in the world despite their considerable wealth. |

By:
Why do sensible,logic thinking forumites waste their time and energy arguing with somebody as ill-mannered and completely misinformed ,and lacking in loyalty for their country,as northernlad?Just ignore him,and with a bit of luck he will disappear,and take his distorted anti British views with him.
|
|
By:
Another idiot comes out to play!
And how is providing accurate analysis of population density distorted anti-British views? - you dumb p****! Or maybe I should say Britain is the most densely populated country on the planet & we must get rid of blacks & Muslims. Would that suit your warped sense of neo Nazi rascist Britishness? Jesus wept! |

By:
The urbanisation is very high in most countries and in Australia for instance most people live near the coast.

By:
You're clearly as ill as Melly northern lad. You don't need to lie. Just accept the truth as I explained to you that England is the most densely populated major nation in Europe. That is with large areas which are virtually uninhabited.
