Do any of you remember that old sci-fi Soylent Green?
Set in a horrible future where everyone had about a foot of room to move around.

There is no village, no space to breathe. Just a mass of impoverished people crammed together. A bit like London today. They ended up eating each other in the movie.
I was reminded of this when the Office for National Statistics released the latest UK population figures.
You’ll be proud to know that 68.3 million people now live here. Or at least there were in the middle of last year, the latest date for which official data is available.
You can bet it’s grown quite a bit since then too.
Those 68.3 million showed a growth of one percent compared to the previous year.
This is the largest annual increase in our population in more than 50 years.
To put those numbers into some sort of context, our population in 1970 was just over 55 million — and we all thought we were an overcrowded island at the time.
Our population has increased by about eight million in 18 years.
And the remarkable thing is that no one makes the slightest noise about it. As if it is something we can’t do anything about and it doesn’t even matter.
But it IS important. As I said, in the past we felt like we were living in an overcrowded country. But now it has become a real threat. A threat to our way of life.
Politicians lie to us about immigration and think we’re stupid, says Julia Hartley-Brewer
A threat to our beautiful region. The threat to the country’s infrastructure — our congested roads, creaky and expensive rail traffic, overcrowded schools and overcrowded prisons.
And, of course, there is the housing crisis.
The Labor government intends to build another million and a half homes, probably somewhere near you. Paving of an increasing part of our village. Increasing the risk of flooding because almost everywhere that is safe from flooding is already built.
And with these new homes will have to come new schools, hospitals, prisons, shops — everything that new communities need.
The reason no one makes a big fuss is that our population growth is entirely due to internal migration.
The ONS made this perfectly clear in their report. But you will get howls if you suggest there is a link between immigration and the shocking state of our schools and hospitals and the housing crisis.
So let’s be very, very clear about this. Our current housing crisis is almost entirely due to immigration. So are our overcrowded schools and overcrowded prisons.

Without that massive internal immigration of the last ten years, we would be in a much healthier state.
Our country can only take so much. And right now we’re full to the brim – and probably going to be even fuller.
This will lead to more and more conflicts. Those riots we saw at the beginning of the summer might give you a hint of what’s to come.
We have to be firm about this. For the benefit of our country. And for the sake of those people who have come here in the last ten years, thinking perhaps that the UK could be a wonderful place to live. Well, it was, once.
So here is the solution. Current moratorium on immigration. There has been no net internal migration for at least ten years. Until we had time to create the infrastructure to handle the number of people we already have.
This is not racism, nor xenophobia. It is a common sense response to an emergency. Because this is a terrible emergency.
POOR PATROL
SO the Met Police didn’t want to bother providing some escort for Taylor Swift when she played here.
I don’t know who thinks she’s a caterwauling moppet.
But anyway, Starmageddon and co intervened and suddenly Swift had the kind of police coverage you’d imagine would be appropriate for Cyclops Kharg, president of the Intergalactic Federation.
And what does Labor get? Lots of free Taylor Swift tickets.
There is nothing worse than a Labor government now.
THEY DECEIVED KEIR AND CO
BY FAR, the worst case of buyer’s remorse I’ve ever seen was my mom and dad.
Not when they had me. But when they collected hundreds of pages of Green Shield stamps. And took them to the Green Shield stamps shop 70 miles south in Leeds. And chose the silver plated After Eight mints dispenser.

Sir Keir revealed himself to be a rapacious, fragile, small man, devoid of humor and humility Credits: PA
You put chocolates in that thing and it kind of turned them forward when you took one.
They realized very quickly that it was a terrible waste of money. He didn’t even flip the chocolates properly. And no one wanted to turn them anyway.
That was 50 years ago. And their buyer’s remorse was finally equalized by, um, the whole country.
I have never seen the population so disappointed in a new government in my life – and maybe before. This is so stunningly useless that Labour’s lead over the non-existent Tories has dropped to ONE POINT.
Three months in office – they should have a 30 point lead in the polls.
Sir Keir revealed himself to be a graceful, frail, little man, devoid of humor and humility.
His administration is in chaos. He was forced to drop the awful Sue Gray as his chief of staff because everyone else hates her.
He and half the cabinet appointed cronies and put donations in their pants – far worse than the Tories did.
It turned out that the Cabinet is a convocation of the truly untalented.
We have an ignorant foreign minister. Chancellor with mathematical challenges. A completely useless Home Secretary. And, in Ed Millipede, a madman determined to destroy us all.
The question is: why didn’t we realize this on the 4th of July?
BEST OF BAD BUNCH
SADLY, Tom Tugendhat has dropped out of the Tory leadership race. Oh good.
And James Cleverly was knocked out yesterday. If he had won, you would have seen Nigel Farage’s Reform Party start to grow.
Now it’s the Tories’ job to make sure Kemi Badenoch gets a job.
She can be prickly, sure. But maybe that’s what we need in the opposition right now.
And they will make mincemeat out of Starmer in Parliament.

I just read yesterday’s Dear Deidre.
phew Some girl complained about her boyfriend’s sexual fetish.
He wants to MUMMIFY her! Wrap her from head to toe in bandages. I’m like wtf?
Get the hell lost right now, love, before you find yourself buried inside a pyramid with only a scarab beetle for company.
If he tries again, just say, “No, weirdo. It’s two patches as far as I’m concerned. You want more, go to the ER and fill your boots.”
