Why are there so many immigrants in the UK? The ONS says "net migration hit a record". Go on, take a guess. They hit a Pinchar jobs? You'd half be right. Because deep down, you think the world's about to end. I knew they were destroying us. Too many arrivals, surely. No, complete opposite. There are about to be fewer of us. Wait, what? That myth comes from one fact. Our population jumped eight times in two centuries. Back then, only one in three children reached adulthood. Then, the industrial revolution transformed Manchester, Birmingham and London. Living standards rose. People stopped dying so easily. So the population exploded. See? No space for them here. Wrong. In the past, kids were free labour in the fields. Today, they're basically very expensive pets. Most Brits can't afford. Childcare now rivals a London mortgage. Council tax, rent, school shoes, it all stacks up. Here comes the trap. Guess what most Brits choose? To keep a population steady, every couple needs two children. Europe's average? Just 1.3. The UK's fertility rate is barely higher. If this trend holds, only 4 in 10 people alive today remain in 80 years. That's a shrinking Britain. The Treasury is quietly panicking. But we're doing better here, right? Marginally. Same road, just slower. So immigrants simply plug the leak. Exactly, Jerry. They keep the NHS and the pension part breathing.
