Our level of immigration is unsustainable. The NHS, social services, schools, police service, housing are creaking under the load. One in eight EU citizens now live in the UK. If we are to get any sanity back in this country we must leave the EU as soon as possible to regain control of our borders.

Figures published by Eurostat - the European Commission’s statistical wing - showed the EU’s population has grown by 1.3 million in the year to January 1, 2015 to 508.2 million. Just 200,000 of that 1.3 million growth was down to changes in births and deaths, the rest is due to migration.

The UK is about 94,000 square miles and now houses 64.8 million - a 12.7 per cent share of the EU total - giving it a population density of 688 people per square mile. Germany, which is 138,000 square miles with 81.2 million residents, has a density rate of 589.

The irony of EU migration policy is that the bigger the population the more immigrants they assume you can absorb. Take this to its logical conclusion, if we were so overcrowded we were falling into the sea we would have to take even more!

The migrants are rapidly changing this country into the country they left to come here. When society collapses will we become refugees and have to move somewhere else?
