E-petition Demands Drastic Action to Stop Britain's Population Hitting 'Unsustainable' 70million

MAIL ONLINE: A campaign was launched yesterday for drastic action to prevent Britain’s population reaching an ‘unsustainable’ 70million.

The ‘e-petition’ calls on David Cameron to clamp down on immigration, which is seen as the major factor behind the rising numbers.

Organisers Migration Watch are seeking the 100,000 signatures needed to force a Parliamentary debate on the issue.

National statisticians predict the UK will be home to 70million people within just 16 years.

According to Migration Watch, two thirds of the increase will be the result of future immigration. Sir Andrew Green, who chairs the group, said: ‘Politicians need reminding that this is an issue that is consistently one of the top concerns of voters and it must be addressed.’ » | James Slack | Tuesday, November 01, 2011
