Britain will struggle to handle 'catastrophic' population growth unless changes are made

Daily Mail
"Britain will struggle to handle 'catastrophic' population growth in future unless urgent action is taken, a report has warned.The predicted increase to 70million by 2029 will put unsustainable pressure on housing, schools and hospitals as well as natural resources such as food and water, experts said.Current trends will see a city the size of Bristol added to the population of the UK every year for the next two decades. ...The number of people in Britain shot up by more than three million under 13 years of Labour government.Around 70 per cent of the increase was due to immigration - either directly through new arrivals or their children.The count is now 61,398,000 - up by 3,084,200 since 1997."
