IN 1970, the population of the UK was 55m. It is now 66m, an increase over 50 years of approximately 21 per cent.
No wonder the NHS and housing are having problems.
With this size population, we are becoming overwhelmed.
Unless more is done to decrease immigration, we will always have these problems, no matter how much money is put into the NHS etc.
