That is highly unlikely. Even if births are registered automatically by
the doctors there will be some births outside hospitals and it will
take some time to register deaths so there will not be an accurate
count at any one time.

Plus illegals who won't be registered at all.

Depending on which statistics you take, they'd need about ten time
that to reach the same population density as England (slightly less to
match the UK as a whole).

Just found out that as of the 2001 census, my borough was the second
most densely populated in the UK at 118.3 people per hectare

(Whatever a hectare is) - apparently Trafalgar square was laid out at
one hectare (which is odd, considering that it symbolises victory over
the metricators :)

Appears to work out at 11,830 per sq km [for European readers, I'm
using the UK convention where "," is the thousands separator and "."
the decimal separator] and over 30,500 per square mile
