Do we have very little, what makes you think that...
We have plenty we write off billions every day don't we?

How much of the UK is urbanised? Have a look you may be surprised.

Not saying you are, but there are those who just don't care what happens in the world as long as they don't want to come here. It's called 'island mentality' fear of invasion. The media and governments play on this to keep out those deemed 'undesirable.

Strangely the tactics used are similar to the ones you quoted, that we are too full, poor or under resourced. That's quite the coincidence don't you think?

Don't forget giving swathes of greenbelt land to property developers.

Always land to be found when you have a finger in the pie.

Some would call it "invaded" rather than "arrived." "Arrived" makes it sound like they were invited.
