UK immigration rise.
Living standards have fallen. Net after tax earnings have gone down, and so have the numbers of self-employed, and participation in the labour market.
There is, however, one set of statistics in which the UK is still booming. Net migration. According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, the number of people coming to the UK hit an estimated 672,000 in the year to June, while the figure for the whole of 2022 was revised up to an astonishing 745,000.
That comes at a time when we were meant to reduce the economy’s dependence on cheap imported labour, not increase it. The political class spends so much time obsessing over minor tweaks to the tax system of the sort the Chancellor announced in his Autumn Statement. But we keep ignoring the far larger problem. Our dependence on mass migration is turning into an economic, social and political catastrophe – and until we start getting to grips with that nothing will start to improve.
It probably won’t come as any great surprise to anyone that net immigration has hit yet another record. A country that was meant to be gradually weaning itself off foreign labour after the vote to leave the European Union has been doubling and tripling it instead. We are adding the equivalent of a city the size of Manchester to the population every year. With businesses clamouring for more and more workers every year there is little sign of that ever stopping. On current trends we could add 10 million people over the next 15 years, and perhaps more.
There is a consensus that immigration always and everywhere increases the growth rate and makes us all richer. Sometimes, of course, it does. Every vibrant economy should be open to new people, new skills, and exceptional talents, and we have plenty of evidence to show that entrepreneurs, artists, and political leaders are often predominantly drawn from a highly-driven, ambitious and hard-working immigrant population. And, of course, companies need access to a global talent pool if they are to build world-class businesses.
There are three big problems, however. First, the UK has turned into a country that is chronically unable to build anything. We hardly construct any new houses, we can’t build new roads, or railway lines, and we won’t secure our own energy resources to generate the gas and electricity that all the extra people will need. Sure, we could make the reforms necessary to unblock all of that, but there is absolutely no sign that any of the major political parties have the appetite. Once we figure out how to build the extra 250,000 new homes, on top of the existing demand, plus a couple of nuclear power stations to power them all, then it might make sense to run immigration at 700,000 annually. To do it before then is simply crazy.
Second, it creates dependency. For more than two decades now the UK has been trapped in a low-skill, low-wage, high immigration cycle. Companies don’t invest in machinery or training because it is always cheaper simply to bring in foreign workers instead. And because they haven’t invested they need more and more people to keep filling all the vacancies. We can’t blame businesses for that. They are simply adapting to the economy they are part of. But it means that the UK remains dependent on more and more cheap foreign workers.
Finally, the economics doesn’t add up. We keep being told that we need immigration as our population ages to fill all the vacancies, and to keep the public finances stable. And yet that is looking less and less true all the time. Professor David Miles, member of the Budget Responsibility Committee at the Office for Budget Responsibility, argued in a paper published in September that very often the overall quality of life is better in countries with static or even shrinking populations. “Predictions of dire effects” from falling populations, he wrote, “are implausible”.
There is mounting evidence of the truth of that conclusion. The UK has been running very high levels of net migration for the last 20 years without becoming noticeably richer. Indeed, according to World Bank figures, GDP per capita has fallen from $50,000 in 2007 to $45,000 in 2022. By contrast, Japan, an advanced economy with a shrinking population, and one that has only increased immigration modestly over the last few years, although the country is almost twice the size of the UK), has grown steadily wealthier despite its challenging demographics. As Miles argues, immigration adds to total output, but it also means higher costs in infrastructure and extra state services. Net-net you are not necessarily better off.
In reality, political leaders from all the major parties are simply fiddling to little consequence. Some tax breaks for big corporations are helpful, although they only mitigate the damaging rise in their overall tax bill. Tweaking national insurance contributions for the self-employed is all very well, but it hardly makes up for the punitive IR35 regime that tries to turn them into employees when they are contractors. The real economic challenge for the UK is facing up to our complete dependency on higher and higher levels of immigration to keep the show on the road even while it puts an intolerable strain on our infrastructure and housing stock. We could start to end that if we wanted to, even if it will be costly in the short-run. But right now there is very little sign that anyone is willing to make a start.
“…and we have plenty of evidence to show that entrepreneurs, artists, and political leaders are often predominantly drawn from a highly-driven, ambitious and hard-working immigrant population. ”
What a load of “racist” crap. As if English people are not good enough in themselves, they need constant “enrichment”. We get the same crap fed to us here in Ireland. Migration simply imports social welfare scroungers who are housed, fed, clothed out of “borrowings” by the politicos.
But one day the banksters will foreclose on all of this “debt” and will demand ALL property as part payment on the “debt”. That is how they intend to rob everything we have.
GOVERNMENT PEOPLE TRAFFICKING
My grandfather was an ARP fire fighter in w w 2
They were told a stray German bomb destroyed the records office and they were to stay back and not interfere
This seemed crazy, but he found out the historic records office of British subjects and families went back many generations
and it was burnt down on Churchill’s orders.
We know from British Archive documents, FOI requests the Mitrokhin material and whistleblower info that
restricted wartime files shredded by Tony Blair showed a senior Polish Rabbi passing info to the Brits and
that Adolf Hitler knew the plan to extinguish the white race, so under the 4 year discussions managed to get a peace treaty
with Neville Chamberlian who like the royals were determined to stop another major war
Moshe Solomons said on radio quote
” it was the master stroke of the jew to get the 2 anglo saxon races to go to war with each other twice in a century ”
so sending our menfolk to war on the premise that foreign feet must not walk on British soil
as soon as the war was over we imported in lots of poles and black folk which were not at all needed.
The public were lied to continualy, the belief in Globlism expounded by the NWO wanted mass race mixing
Einstiens brother went on record with his speech that Russian soldiers were told to gang rape every German women between the ages of 8 and 80 even nuns in convents were gang raped
those who resisted or tried to run away must be shot
the idea was to destroy the German genetics tables, and leave them with mixed race babies
he went on that the plan for the white women in the UK would be gentler, they would fill the country with illiterate blacks, dumb down girls in schools an colleges, and let time do the rest
He said in 20 years you will see UK stupid white women carrying black kids with no father
It was plain to see and some British patriots like John Amory Oswald Mosely William Joyce and Enoch Powell did try to warn us
but were shouted down by the racists
The only solution is to start repatriation and do it now
and ban every jew here in the UK from any public office
Well, it’s neither a political or economic catastrophe. Bankrupt Nazi Britain can’t survive with normal economic activities, so they need 745,000 immigrants to keep wages down, and provide growth. At the same time, they keep printing money.
The budget was for more mortgage lending and higher house prices, but given house prices are falling, this will slow it down.
Your regular British Nazi voting sheeple doesn’t know they’re being fleeced by a corrupt elites. 745k of immigrants, and no public spending to cope with the strain.
Yes, can I make a doctors appointment for March 2025? But don’t worry, the sheeple will be at the ballot boxes voting for the flip side of the one party Nazi state.
“Immigrant” means nothing; Race, and the IQ that can come with it, is meaningful. Only Whites should be allowed in. These will also not be hostile Moslems who are here to stab and replace the Europeans
Britain’s ((Ruling Class))) has ALSO been an economic and political catastrophe… at least for a century or more…
and a populace getting THICKER by the day certainly doesnt help matters,
The white race, facing egalitarian extinction, observes another English city (Manchester) morphing & decomposing into an Afro-Asian-Muslim third world sewage pit. But hey, welcome to Communism. The millions of white Brits should have listened to Mosley, Joyce & Amery instead of that Churchill Commie nutjob.
“The Wehrmacht is the only thing that stands between Communism & you.”–John Amery
Now just like in the USA, you get to live in an Orwellian Judeo-Communist polyracial dystopia. Not much you can do about it though, since there’s no Wehrmacht or Einsatzgruppen around anymore to liquidate the scum. Only chance left for the white race is ‘The Book of the Law’.
A.A.
Every single Jewish organization is for mass migration, even the good Jews, which means there are no good Jews.
Jews are are the real catastrophe.
Culture & Media
Woke, Racism and the Great Reset of the UK
Among the many things the last three-and-a-half-years of cowardice and complicity have demonstrated is that the West, as an idea, is now dead. If it continues to haunt the world, it is only as an interdependent financial sector rapidly reaching the day of its reckoning, military alliances against whatever bogeyman the US identifies for ‘liberation’ next, and security treaties between Europe, the USA and Australasia. The funeral rites have been a long time in preparation, but in the UK, at least, we no longer have anything one could refer to as a ‘culture’, for which we have substituted corporate and state propaganda created by global think-tanks to cretinize the national population into compliance.
Our leaders in politics, business and the media are at best puppets for transnational technocracies, open to corruption by the highest bidder from any quarter of the globe. London is an offshore financial jurisdiction serviced by increasingly impoverished immigrants living in what will soon be a surveillance city-state.

Could someone please contact the new NZ Prime Minister and tell him not to try the mass alien immigrants trick….
This was NOT used in depression NZ 1930’s.
It is merely a way of turning western countries into FORCED MULTICULTURAL HELLHOLES.
Currently running a check on Luxton (NZs bald as a bandicoot new PM)…It appears his wife may very well be a Marrano,like Bidens wife,Madam Yacob…..soon see.
Peter Petherington has told you the truth, it has been so for hundreds of years, since cromwell.
Paul Fuller correction, the solution comes out of the barrel of a gun.
