Thumbs down How Long Before We Are The Minority.

Government get's immigration figures wrong now the Town Councils seek funds to cope with the influx of immigrants.

* Councils seek more migrant funds *
A £250m-a-year fund is needed to help regions cope with immigration rises, a new report suggests.

Re: How Long Before We Are The Minority.

I’m just wondering how many illegal immigrants are here. The Home Office can only estimate this figure and one would suspect that it would be a very optimistic estimate at that. Last estimate from home office was in the region of 500,000 I think.
As for the minority question, who can say how long before we become the minority. I must say, being in the minority would certainly appear to have its perks.

It seems so at this time, what will occur when the boot is on the other foot. Will the then majority be willing to share their wealth with the new minority?

To Quote J. Paul Getty

"The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights"

If we become the new majority I dont think we be as well protected in any sense.
