Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Census 2011: 7.5m people in England and Wales were born outside the UK
Nearly 3m people in England and Wales live in households where no adults speak English as their first language after the number of foreign-born residents rose by more than 50% in a decade, according to the 2011 census.

One in eight people was born abroad, according to official figures, following a wave of immigration from Poland, India, Pakistan and Nigeria.

The total population of England and Wales has increased by 7.8 per cent since 2001 to reach 56.1 million, with more than half of the increase due to migration.

Some 7.5 million residents, representing 13 per cent of the population, were born outside the UK, up from 4.6 million or 9 per cent a decade ago.

The census shows that by far the biggest influx was from Poland following its accession to the European Union in 2004.

Labour, which was in government at the time, has been accused of underestimating the number of Polish immigrants who would want to come to Britain and failing to implement tighter border controls.

The 2011 census shows that people from Poland are the second biggest group of foreign residents now living in England and Wales, behind Indians. By contrast, in 2001 Poles were not even in the top 20. Pakistanis represent the next biggest group of foreign residents.

There are now 694,000 Indian-born people in England and Wales, 579,000 of Polish origin and 482,000 who hail originally from Pakistan.

The Office of National Statistics said that the biggest increase in immigration had been among people from Nigeria, who have almost doubled their numbers to 191,000.

Among the top ten countries of origin for foreign-born residents, only the Republic of Ireland saw its numbers fall between 2001 and 2011, dropping by 66,000 to 407,000

London is also home to the most immigrants, with 37 per cent of the capital’s residents were born abroad and 24 per cent not UK citizens.

The ten local authorities with the highest proportion of non-UK-born and non-UK nationals among their residents were all London boroughs.

The area with the largest number of Poles was Ealing in west London, followed by Slough in Berkshire and Boston in Lincolnshire.

People born in India were most likely to live in Leicester and Hounslow in west London, where they made up more than one in ten of the population.

London continues to be home to a significant Irish expat population, with concentrations in Brent, Islington, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Camden.

The areas with the lowest proportion of residents who did not hold a UK passport were Redcar and Cleveland in north-east England, and Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly in south Wales.

England and Wales are ranked ninth among EU countries for the proportion of residents who are foreign-born, above Germany and France but below Spain and Sweden, with Luxembourg top on 33 per cent.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch UK, said the census figures “clearly” demonstrated the need to get immigration under control to allow time for migrant communities to integrate.

He said: "This is the clear result of Labour’s mass immigration policy, which brought nearly four million immigrants to England and Wales in ten years.

"Immigration on this scale is completely unacceptable to the vast majority of the public and is obviously unsustainable.”

X-37B US military space plane launches for third flight

A notoriously mysterious military space plane operated by the US Air Force has launched from Florida, the third flight in a secretive test programme.

The reusable, unmanned craft is designed to operate in Earth orbit for extended periods. Its prior missions in 2010 and 2011 lasted 224 and 469 days.

The US government kept the timing of Tuesday's launch secret and has not said how long the mission will last.

That has prompted fevered speculation as to the craft's ultimate purpose.

Ok

Good.

UK unemployment falls by 82,000

The number of people out of work fell by 82,000 between August and October, to 2.51 million, official figures have shown.

It was the biggest quarterly fall in unemployment since 2001.

The unemployment rate was 7.8%, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous three months.

The Office for National Statistics also said that the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance fell 3,000 to 1.58 million in November.

Total pay was up 1.8% compared with the same period last year.

Employment rose 40,000 to 29.6 million, which was the highest figure since records began in 1971.

If the behaviour is offensive, why put yourself through it.

Or are you viewing the world through a haze of alcohol?

Or perhaps it may be down to tinted glasses.
