Civitas's Reasearch-Fellow David Conway Destroys Goverment..

In a book out today by Civitas' Senior Research fellow David Conway called "A Nation of Immigrants?" David Conway takes issue with those who minimise the threat posed by mass immigration by claiming that this is nothing new; that we are a 'mongrel nation'; and that, in the words of the Commission on Racial Equality, 'everyone who lives in Britain today is either an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant' . He argues, to the contrary, that from the time England can be considered to have become a nation, immigration has never risen above very low levels and had no serious demographic impact until the last part of the twentieth century. Since 1997, however, Tony Blair's Labour government has effectively abandoned even the goal of limiting immigration. As a result, by encouraging unending mass immigration as a permanent feature of the political landscape, there may result a disintegration of the bonds that hold together the group of people that constitutes a nation.

The comment is infantile and simplistic as everybody on the planet would qualify.

The problem is as JCUKIP states the sheer volume of people in the past 15 years which has increased the population

according to this http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=6
which is a government report which is possibly under reporting the growth but states that the growth has accelerated since 2001

Wikipedia sourcing from www.statistics.gov.uk suggests that the UK is one of the most densely populated countries in the world
