Latest statistics, 1,000 people a week are coming to UK (I think, was painting my nails lol so not sure pmsl. Maybe its a month? Probably a week tho.) Theres 22,000 peeps on our local housing waiting list, seriously! So where will everyone be housed? I feel sorry for those with children in B&B's etc. Especially at Christmas time :-(( I do think the floodgates need to be shut, even if they re-open in a decade or so, there is not room here. |

You can't stop people having babies (didn't china do just that?), well you could stop paying them to have them, maybe only paying child benefit to the first 2 or 3 would concentrate the mind a little. |

Ann, it did say that. I didnt put that because someone would screech 'racism'. How sad when we cant speak our minds. |

It is not racist if it is a statistical fact. |

by how much would the population be reduced if we sent back all our global undesirables, who come to Britain knowing we are a soft touch. |

Quite Sue. There's no 'Giro Lounge' - whatever that might be- in the Third World. |

Igor - I'm sure that some people misuse their benefit cheques. But although that is regrettable, it doesn't really have any bearing on over population, or world poverty. |

Igor you are so right. Some do bite the hand that feeds them.We should be proud of the systems in this country we are very lucky... |
