Asylum seekers accommodation - Did I hear these numbers correctly?

[fillyboy]

You mean like at footie matches or festivals. Or do you mean like demo's or carnivals? Or do you mean like tourists or migrants? It's a pi$$ poor nation that can't cope with an extra person per town, lol.

Thank-you Gary Lineker.

It doesn't.
What it does imply is that the individual immigrant's (mirroring your term) environmental impact will, given time and presuming their lifestyle changes to more closely match that typical of the UK resident, will differ from their previous environmental footprint.

For example, an Amurcan or 'Stralian would, on average, reduce their footprint, while someone who previously lived a subsistence existence would increase theirs.

yes I agree with that hypothesis,

that would assume those refugees / migrants would return to subsistence existence....not settle elsewhere.

I suppose the point I was clumsily making is that Munroist was making the argument from NIMBYism not from a global environmental perspective.

There are 23 major cities in England, that equates to an annual influx of about 10000 people per city on average, not that it's evenly distributed.

Although we take in more via the UN relocation scheme than any other eu country, we should take more?
Oh yeah, I rememberTony Bliar & Gorgon Brown estimated 10000 per year from eu free movement. Good work fellas.How did that work out?
(Football stadiums & festivals have ticket allocation. You know, limits on capacity. Muppet)

good question

when was net migration to UK: 331,000 in the year ending March 2015.
I wonder which party was in charge then?

 

[Dangee]

I didn’t say that. I just gave Blair’s estimate.

You're out of date boyo. Things have moved on. We have a Tory government making things worse these days.

 

[noseall]

Quite.

There are 49'000 towns too. You see, your not alone with pointless statistics.

sorry there aren't, there's about 40 odd thousand towns and villages.

Still way down on Germany's general intake and massively down on say Turkey.

Admirable all the same.

England...?

United Kingdom has 1 cities with more than a million people, 95 cities with between 100,000 and 1 million people, and 951 cities with between 10,000 and 100,000 people.

There are no borders (yet) in the UK.

49,021 towns

All 49,021 towns have linked location information (including county, country, region, postcode, local government area, grid reference, easting-northing, latitude-longitude and elevation) and, unlike many other datasets, it fully covers the whole UK including Northern Ireland and suburban areas in Greater London.

Major, viz with mayors.

Have you a link? The one I looked at had ~45k "towns" but looking at it, it included places like Swan bottom, in bucks, that I know for a fact has about 6 houses to it's name.

I saw some immigrants in Abbots Bromley, the other day and not a mayor in sight.

Have you a link?

Lol. The point is, immigrants don't necessarily all settle in one city or town although some do have their fair share.
