Despite efforts across two governments by two different political parties to “reduce net migration”, the population of England and Wales has grown by a staggering 700,000 – the second highest twelve month increase ever – with roughly 98% of this growth directly due to migration from overseas.
For comparison, 700,000 people would be a city larger than Manchester. Have we built an entire Manchester’s worth of housing, power stations, hospitals, schools, or reservoirs over the last twelve months?
Of course, what has actually happened is this historic population increase has been dispersed across the nation; meaning instead of additional pressures in one town or city, there are new pressures everywhere.
Net migration into Coventry is 15,446 in just one year. Do you think enough new school places have been funded or GP surgeries have been built to accommodate the newcomers?
Net migration into Leicester is 13,110 in just one year. Do you think enough new homes have been built or police officers hired to accommodate the newcomers?
Net migration into Nottingham is 10,201 in just one year. Do you think enough local jobs have been created or sewage processing plants commissioned to accommodate the newcomers?
Every single local authority in England and Wales except South Holland has seen net migration over the last twelve months, with no commensurate investment in local services and infrastructure. The inevitable outcome is a worsening of living standards, and local services and infrastructure buckling under the strain.
This week, we suggest you contact your MP to express your personal concern about the ONS reporting excessive levels of net migration into England and Wales. You can write anything you like, but we have provided a template below for your convenience. You can verify your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP.
“Dear [NAME OF MP],
I am one of your constituents, living at [YOUR ADDRESS HERE].
I was deeply worried to read that the population of England and Wales rose by 700,000 in the last twelve months. This is the second largest increase ever, and 98% of the increase is due to net migration from overseas.
As you will be aware, services in our constituency are already badly overstretched. Seeing a GP has never been harder, school places are scarce, and there has been a worrying increase in crime and anti-social behaviour.
I would be very grateful if you could explain your personal position on uncontrolled migration to Britain, what resources our local area will receive to help manage this huge increase in the local population, and outline how your party proposes to end what the Prime Minister has described as the “open borders experiment”, which he said risked our becoming an “island of strangers.” He was right, why does he now regret pointing to this self-evident truth?
Kind regards,
[YOUR NAME HERE]”
If you receive a response from your MP and are comfortable sharing it, please forward it on to us – we are always interested!
“For an annual salary of £23,500, the job sought someone to handle administrative and secretarial duties for the Manchester Sharia Council, including the management and coordination of social and sharia-related services.
Sharia councils insist that they offer Muslim women a way out of religious marriage, and that all parties must consent to the process, but critics question whether such consent is possible in religiously conservative communities where women might be trapped in abuse.
According to Migration Watch chairman Alp Mehmet, these parallel legal systems pose “massive risks to women and children in families where, as often as not, Muslim men take cases to court”.
“Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch UK, added: ‘The courts should be required by law to publish, in real time, the nationality and immigration status of those who come before them.
‘Speculation and distortion would stop, preventing sensitive situations from getting out of control.’”
The population of England and Wales has shot up by over 700,000 in just one year – nearly all of it down to international migration. The Mailhas more.
It is the second-largest annual numerical rise in more than 75 years – behind only the increase of more than 800,000 people that took place from mid-2022 to mid-2023.
There were an estimated 61.8 million people in England and Wales in mid-2024, up 706,881 from 61.1 million in mid-2023, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Almost all of this increase was due to international migration, with natural change – the difference between births and deaths – accounting for only a small proportion.
Net international migration – the difference between people moving to the country and leaving – accounted for 690,147 of the estimated population increase of 706,881 people, or 98% of the total, the ONS said.
Some 1,142,303 people were estimated to have come to England and Wales as immigrants in the 12 months to June 2024 while 452,156 were likely to have emigrated. …
The highest rates of population growth were City of London (11.1%), Oadby and Wigston (3.1%), and Preston (2.9%).
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
