FINALLY! The Western world is starting to wake up to its dangerous, ruinously costly and deeply unpopular immigration policies. Yet our benighted government is digging itself ever deeper into an anti-British immigration disaster. Yesterday it was reported that the UK population is on course to rise by 5 million in less than a decade entirely due to immigration.
