Baby boom

This week figures were released by Office of National Statistics showing that the UK birth rate had increased to a 26 year high. Leaving aside any questions over whether we want a rising population with the problem of diminishing global resources and massive Third World population growth, let's look at how how different news organisation reported this news:

The Daily Telegraph - Migrants push birth rate to highest in decades - Explained how most of the increase was down to children being born to mothers who had not been born in the UK - "Statistics also revealed that 146,944 children were born last year to mothers who did not come from Britain. In 1998 the total was 86,345. Babies born to mothers from overseas accounted for 21.9 per cent of all births last year, up from 20.8 per cent the year before." and also that "I believe the fall that we have seen was due to this (high earning female graduates) group and what is happening now is that these women are now having children but at a later age than they once did."
BBC Web News - Fertility rate 'at 26-year high' - "The upturn has been largely driven by increasing birth rates among older women." Just a brief quotation "We are not likely to get to the replacement level - two children per woman - but that is not necessarily a concern because immigration is making up for that." from Professor Danny Dorling regarding the increase in children of immigrant mothers and that's it.

Strange isn't it, the BBC just can't stop seeing the world the way it wants it to be and must confront racism whenever it can, even by ignoring any reference to inconvenient facts.
