It's not a simple matter of spending shed loads of money on benefits, education and incentives yes, but it needs an intelligent approach or its doomed to fail.

We would be more than a bit overcrowded, of course The British Isles belonged to the Celts, so maybe all the Anglo Saxons and their descendants should return to Their homeland. They were the immigrants once.

Australia is vast compared to here - so they would hardly notice the immigrants they 'do' let in, here, you can't miss them .....

Re: National Identity
Britain also owes a debt of gratitude to all the immigrants that have come to live and work here in the UK, we are a better Britain because of them. However, due to a clerical error by labour in the late nineties and early 21st century, far more immigrants were allowed in before we had time to build enough infrastructure to accommodate them.

They wouldn't hardly notice. It's a MASSIVE country. I was mesmerised by it when I was there. It takes hours to fly from one part of the country to another. HOURS. Hardly comparable to GB. Finding an immigrant would be like finding a pea on top of a mountain there.
