    Don't believe all the **** you read. Figures are conveniently shown for the UK, not the individual countries. Go find some figures that relate to England only.

    As an example we're always told we don't take our fair share of migrants. The following article is 7 years old but our figures will be even worse now...

    I agree about the population density, even within England there are vast variations. I think the average is about 430/km2 for England but in London it's over 5500/km2 and in West Yorks going on for 1200/km2 but North Yorks it's only 77/km2. So I get what you're saying about enough is enough as the last time I was in England I was amazed at how busy it was, it just felt like there were people and cars everywhere. I know the headlines are always going to be captured by the illegal immigrant numbers crossing the channel, I think there are about 50k-75k in a year, but most immigration to the UK is legal and your government granted legal entry to over 1.1 million people last year. So I suppose if I was being argumentative I would say how can you accommodate the 1.1million and not the 75k but from my own experience I would suggest that you can't accommodate either of these amounts, especially in the more densely populated parts of the country. That's not being discriminatory it's just your systems, infrastructure and Health service are overloaded. I would however suggest looking at the legal immigration as well as the illegal sort.

    This is tosh. If you actually came here you’d realise the population density in Yorkshire is extremely high.

    I don't think you're reading your chart correctly. correctly. Of the 1.1m it seems that about 500k are here to study and about 300k are here to work. Something less than 300k are are moving here. I don't think that is a large amount since, as you have said, many are also leaving.
    The illegal immigration is the biggest problem. The Albanians especially have imported their criminal network which is turning our cities into no go zones.
    No one cares about Brits. The reason these people want to come here is because, even though we're overcrowded and our services are stretched, this is a good place to be.
    Why don't they stay and sort out their own country?

    Many of these immigrants use 'studying' at fake colleges as another excuse to get in the country Blono.

    I'm reading the data correctly. I know what you mean that these are temporary visitors granted the right to reside in the UK for a period of time for a specific reason but when you realise the number who apply for extensions and the rate at which these extensions are granted, they may as well be permanent immigrants.
