Take a look at: <a href="http://pol-check.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/ons-predicted-population-of-britain.html" rel="nofollow">ONS Predicted Population of UK</a>. As far as paying for pensions is concerned, what does the ex chair of the UK's Pension Commission say?:<br /><br />"So despite having chaired the UK’s Pensions Commission for three years, I think it is highly likely that the UK faces a too-fast population growth, i.e.<br />population growth which is faster than welfare-optimizing growth, would be for the existing population." (Turner 2009)<br /><br />A lot of people got their pro-immigration badges in the 1980s when there were 80,000 immigrants per year.
