It has just been announced that Britain issued almost 200,000 passports to foreigners in 2012.

Germany issued 115,000, France issued 96,000. Britain has a land mass of 94,000 square miles, Germany 137,000 square miles and France 547,000 square miles. So there is plenty of space for that lot at Calais to stay where they are.

In that year we built less than 100,000 houses. We built 186,000 houses in 2006, before the credit crunch. We cannot maintain our housing stock to accommodate all our own people on housing lists all over the country. The question then arises how will we ever solve our housing problem if we keep handing out passports like buns to a herd of hungry elephants?

Another question, and you do not need a degree in mathematics to ask it, is: where are all these people living? Bearing in mind that the 200,000 passports that year are only the ones we know about, as well as the fact that more countries have been given the right to settle here since 2012 by the European Disunion.

How long can this madness from our politicians continue before the situation becomes unmanageable? This is not to mention the pressures on the NHS and schools as well. That is why there are shanty towns and overcrowding spreading all over our once green and pleasant land.

What policies do the Coalition and Labour have to deal with this problem before it is too late? I presume the answer is nothing, like the last four and a half years .This is nothing to do with racism, but is based on the exact science of mathematics and simple common sense.

Sorry, Britain is full up.
