The number of babies born in the UK hits a 20 low.
This is a "good thing" according to Britain's "top demographic expert" - Oxford professor Sarah Harper.
But who is this expert and what does she want?
Sarah thinks that there are too many babies in Africa, which is causing African countries trouble, and that there are too many babies in the developed world leading to "overconsumption".
Put short, the solution to this is to ignore difficult pro-natalist policies in the West, and import the 3rd world to take care of the old.
Then, to address the intergenerational fairness problem you've just created by importing millions of poors, you should give them money.
Sarah, who was an advisor to the Tory government on demography under Theresa May when the current government's immigration policy was written, is in favour of what she calls combating the "age-structural" change in the population.
Stability in the population pyramid is the aim. An old population is a burden on the young, a young population is politically and economically chaotic.
In her 2018 book "How Population Change will Transform our World", she presents evidence the pro-natalist policies tend to fail (France, Sweden, Romania), and anti-natalist policies are not always effective (Pakistan, Nigeria etc).
Therefore, governments can't create age-structural stability through birth policies.
The only remaining tool is migration.
Her book is written in a careful academic style, presenting itself as neutral, but there are always tell tale signs of someone's true intentions.
E.g. she only presents evidence that migration is an economic good, and never once tries to distinguish between types of migrant.
High caste, low caste, illegal entrant or investing entrepreneur - all are simply numbers in the age pyramid.
Demographics is destiny.
Sarah, who has also worked for BBC News, HSBC, and the EU, was critical of the UK's EU immigration policy, as it didn't allow in enough migrants.
Instead she praised Australia's migration policy for bringing in more foreigners.
The UK now has an "Australian style" system.
Migration levels to Europe are described in her book as needing to be between net 800,000 to 1,400,000 per year in order to maintain working age population numbers.
This migration is not only "needed" in order to ensure prosperity in devolped countries, but is also inevitable.
250,000,000 people will be international migrants by 2030, and "international agreements" are needed to ensure their "education and welfare".
At the end of the book, she, for no reason whatsoever, decides to share the dreams of poor brown girls in developing countries.
These stories have nothing to do with the demographic data she spent the rest of the book talking about.
Sarah is global-race-communism personified.
Migration is not only necessary and inevitable, but good; stop having babies in the West please; give money to train and feed poor browns.
People like her are our true new elite, and we're all suffering as a result.
Fin.
