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. |

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. |

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. |

I remember thinking this island was getting crowded in the 60s.......what has been done to stop it since.......nothing!! Quite the opposite in fact with more and badly controlled immigration, increased teenage pregnancy, increased benefits make families more affordable. All manner of bonuses and tax credits make it uneconomical for some people with families to go out to work to support them, making it financially a good move to have even more children. Then with IVF and other medical advances, more are able to have children and to start second families with new husbands/wives/partners. Also more children survive these days. Finally, people are not being killed off in wars in the numbers they used to be. |

Saw that in this morning´s Daily Mail. Apparently it´s because people have a longer life expectancy & fewer die of illness. |

It's 9am Friday in Austraia (eastern states), but different times in other states - it's a big enough country to have different time zones in it - and 21 million people! |
