IMMIGRATION

At a time when the media is filled with those who can do little but prattle about climate change and of the need for sustainable development, it was announced this week that at least 16 new developments have been given the go-ahead to build houses and offices on flood plains. In every case, the local authorities ignored objections from the environment agency.

Paul Leinster, chief executive of the Environment Agency, said:

‘There are already millions of people at risk from flooding and this number is set to rise due to the impacts of climate change.’

At least 2million homes are on flood plains already. England is overcrowded and the pressure of the population increase, the primary driving force of which is immigration, is forcing people to live on flood plains.

Labour’s immigration policy to increase the population to 70million by 2031 [see the English Rights Campaign item dated 11 February 2009 ] can only make matters much worse.
