(and all those who think that the 'problem' is immigration)

I hope you can all say that you / your families have been living in London since it began a couple of millenia ago, otherwise at some point you or your families were immigrants.

Immigration has always been a part of London; world populations move with economic and other factors. In the 1970's there was a net decrease in population as people left London due to the dock closures, leaving large parts of east London vastly underpopulated. Now London's population is projected to rise because people are coming here not just from overseas but from other parts of the UK.

So Brian, it is incorrect to say that the population is 50% more than in 1940 - claptrap. And yes I do think your comments whilst not overtly racist or fascist have undertones of the former - something I have observed in previous posts from you.
