The scale of population growth in Britain over the next 74 years is to be estimated in figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The projection of Britain's population up to 2081 takes into account factors including immigration and fertility.

This gave me a good laugh this morning – they’ve already admitted they don’t know how many are in the UK now – how can they predict the growth?

Another complete, farcical waste of time and money! cussing:

Simple, they do know to within a small margin of error. They've just realised that if they release the true figures they wouldnt have to wait till the next election to be kicked out of office.
