SIR – Britain will soon be the China of Europe.
Official estimates have shown that the population of Britain is rising more steeply than anywhere else in Europe.
In 2011-12, the population rose by 419,000, the highest since 1972.
But is it a surprise due to the open door policy that led thousands from east Europe to come here seeking work?
Since 2004, thanks to Labour, many of those who have here have been shopping for a generous benefits system.
