There is now a record number of 'legal' residents in the UK.. 61 million people now live 'legaly' in the Uk. Although many Brits have emigrated, new statistics say the birth rate has been boosted by young immigrants settling in our country and the fact that we are living longer. This is putting a cripling strain on our NHS, housing and education services.

What do you propose, Michael? Want to start another Australia and banish them all there? Wink

Seriously though, we have a similar problem here in the states. I know what my opinions are but this is a family friendly site and I'd better keep my lips tightly buttoned.lol.

BTW, what's up with all of this incognito stuff? lol.

The answer is no, and we don't want you to keep away.
