11/7/11, "Migrationwatch UK petition on immigration tops 100,000," BBC

"An online petition urging ministers to curb immigration has gained more than 100,000 signatures in a week - making it eligible for a Commons debate.

Migrationwatch UK's e-petition calls for "all necessary steps" to stop the UK's population exceeding 70 million.

A YouGov survey for the pressure group suggested four fifths of people in England thought the country is crowded.

Immigration Minister Damian Green said "sweeping changes" were being introduced to reduce net migration.

Migrationwatch UK polled 1,561 Britons - including 1,341 English people."..
