🚨 The top takeaways from the demography and migration #Census2021 results 🚨

A thread 🧵
In the past decade, the non-UK born population increased to 16.8% of the total, an increase of 2.5 million in just 10 years 📈

Of these, just 136,000 declared themselves short-term residents.
Of the total non-UK born population, 42% (4.2 million) arrived since 2011 and a total of 69% (6.9 million) arrived since 2001.
The number of non-UK born residents from outside of the EU has increased by 1.3 million, and now makes up 63.6% of the total foreign-born population.
The largest group of non-UK born remain Indians, 920,361 of whom are in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. The total South Asian population (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) now stands at 1.8 million. If the total South Asian population were a city, it would be the second largest in England after London.
Overall, around four in 10 people in London are non-UK born, with the population of Brent being 56.1% non-UK born.

Outside of London, Slough 44%, Leicester 41% and Cambridge 38% non-UK born populations.

Using points-based systems to 'control' immigration was Tony Blair's approach.

How did that work out?

The new MAC report highlights the previous failure of such policies when tried in the UK.

They often rely on applicant characteristics that are hard to verify...
A problem with the PBS introduced from 2002 to 2010 was lack of any cap on numbers (unlike Australia now)

Essential for govt to keep caps in place going forward....
160,000 visas were issued on this route from 2005 before the Govt rightly closed it in 2011...

Why would the UK not learn from these mistakes?

'The space occupied by buildings and roads has grown more than 10% in the past decade...

(Not surprising given rapid population growth of 400,000 per year, chiefly driven by sky-high immigration)

'Now ministers are planning a construction boom'... thetimes.co.uk/article/built-…
Danny Dorling, an Oxford professor, said: “In absolute terms this is very likely to be the largest increase in the number of square miles that have been tarmacked or paved over in any decade in British history.”

He said the UK was going the way of LA by giving into urban sprawl.
Prof. Dorling went on: “The [proposed] Oxford-Cambridge expressway has 13 junctions on it, and on either side of each junction it has space for a town the size of Didcot or Abingdon. So that is 26 car-dependent towns strung out on an arc from Oxford to Cambridge.”

Some these are corollaries of Brexit - e.g. changing of rules on EU criminals to use the tougher standard that applies to non-EU citizens. Anything that prevents dangerous criminals from coming can only be a good thing but this has been touted for years, ie. since 2017...
News of a requirement for electronic travel authorisation is rehash of something which we have known about since at least 2017. Not 'new announcement'. As the @Conservatives note, it was also detailed in the 2018 White Paper. Here's our 2017 paper on ETIAS migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper…
@Conservatives The pledge to 'count people in and out' is v. welcome but indicative of a wider government failure over the past decade or more to deliver accurate or effective systems for measuring migration. Remember that this happened on the watch of both @UKLabour and the @Conservatives...
