Democracy At Work

Analysis of ONS National Population Projections

The Dream Is Dead – Europe Admits Mass Migration Has Failed
For decades, there were activists, academics and politicians on the Continent who looked at Britain, rolled their eyes and tutted. The thought us insular – well, we are an island. We were too attached to our own history and identity, we banged on about the Second World War, defeating Hitler and Nazism; the Great War and defeating the Kaiser and before him, Napoleon, and seeing off the Spaniards in 1588.

Africa’s Forgotten Crisis Risks New Asylum Wave
In the two or three years prior to the 2015/16 deluge of asylum seekers, the EU, of which Britain was still a part, should have known that a mass movement of people would follow upheaval and conflicts in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, as well as in Africa.. And yet, everyone was caught totally unawares in 2015. Are we, once again, in the process of making the same catastrophic mistakes?
