A third Britain's population will be immigrants by 2060, EU predictions say

One in three UK residents will have an immigration
background by the year 2060 according to new
predictions by EU forecasters.

Up to 30million people will be first or second
generation immigrants in 45 years a new Brussels
report has revealed, with net immigration expected
to rise to 12million.

The news comes as England was revealed as the
second most crowded country in Europe, second only
to Malta which is the EU's most densely populated
member.

One in three UK residents will have an immigration
background in 2060 new EU figures have revealed

The estimates, produced by the statistics agency
Eurostat, are compiled in a report titled 'Fewer,
Older and Multicultural? Projections of The EU
Populations by Foreign/National background'.

It says: From the results it emerges that the
European Union is going to experience
unprecedented changes from the point of view of
population composition.

White boys are failing in schools because of
immigration, says Labour spokesman as he admits
party got the figures badly wrong
'In a few decades, several countries will have to
deal with relevant social changes.

UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall described the
findings as 'startling'

'The growing diversity of the European population
could therefore be considered a major
socio-demographic challenge for the current
century.'

The findings have been met with concern just days
after visa restrictions for Bulgarian and Romanian
immigrants were lifted.

Deputy leader of the UK Independence Party, Paul
Nuttall, said: 'These projections are startling
and just go to show that unless the Government
gets serious about immigration the UK is headed
towards severe overcrowding within 50 years.

The MEP told the Daily Express: 'With people
living longer, public services would face an
immense and I dare say unsustainable strain if we
continue with loose borders.'

'Unless we want the very social fabric of the UK
to change, we must leave the EU and take back
control of our borders.'

Britain has the fourth-fastest growing population
in Europe, with the second highest birth rate
after Ireland.

By 2046, an estimated 494 people will be squeezed
into every square kilometre of England compared
with 411 now and only 374 when Tony Blair took
power in 1997.

The equivalent figure for France will be just 115,
for Germany 204 and the Netherlands 421.
