  • @KamikazeElvis were the hell did you get that uk population is about 70 million immigrants 72-73 million max

  • @commongroundpolitics could have government are literally clueless

  • The figures are roughly correct. Britain's official population is approximately 61 million, but illegal immigrants and unregistered economic migrants takes that figure up to 2.5 billion. God save the Queen.

  • we cant let those dervishes outbreed us!

  • Fire the proof checker - make it 2,500,001

  • I guess that makes 100% unemployed in Britain then & we can throw in the rest of Europe for that figure too.. it's 2.5 million folks but as someone else aid there is far more, this figure is just people on benefits/jobseeker roll.

  • not to mention all those who cant claim for benefits. Other sources say the unemployment rate is closer to 4m

  • 2.5million they mean and there are far more unemployed than that! i guess they only count people on jobseekers and not their other dole benefits

  • I don't suggest eating politicians though - they would probably upset your stomach!!

    ....with tongue in cheek! :-)))

  • Exactly!!

    The level of online 'printed' material (Yahoo News, YouTube headlines by news organisations etc...) is appalling. Doesn't anyone check their work anymore? For goodness sake, most word processing applications have a built in spell checker to catch most mistakes that are being made! (Although it would obviously potentially miss 'bn' instead of 'million'.)
