I don't recall anyone on TV expressing "fear and loathing of foreigners" - unless you are referring
to the desire to have proper control of immigration which is already running at over 600,000 (1% of

Well that's two untruths in one sentence.

(1) Sorry I underestimated immigration. Currently it is 633,000 a year

Gross, doesn't take into account those leaving in the same period.


(2) England has a population density of 420 per sq. km. - few countries are more densely populated
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England


United Kingdom has a much lower density and your immigration statistics
are for the whole of the UK.

The UK ranks 53rd in the population density table. England on its own
would rate around 27th.
