Recently I have got really hacked of with callous bastards. I think they should be visibly identifiable so if the get into situations where they need help the general public can make an informed choice of giving them their own back by offering no assistance at all. |

I have many times referenced that, 22million in the long term. (30 million could be supported but that would be at a very subsistence level.) |

No-one "lives" on benefits as a lifestyle choice except in the minds of callous bastards and Tory ministers. |

Yes they do. I am not a Tory minister, neither are several posters on this forum therefore your contention is patently wrong. |

Well I haven't seen those references and given your posting history am skeptical (re the critical think thread in education). |

How long have you been a member of this forum and the old one? The issue has been debated to death. I am always reluctant to comment on the subject because quite frankly far too many people are just too thick to understand long term sustainable carrying capacity. |

There is nothing wrong with my contention. "living" on benefits as a lifestyle choice is a figment of Tory imagination. |

Quite UK: 702 per mile2 Netherlands: 1071 per mile2 South Korea: 1,329 per mile2 Macau: 55,061 per mile2 But sadly it seems we set records for wild hyperbole and utter BS posted per mile2 |

I do not disagree that we are densely populated. Over populated? Highly probable but is there a definition? Fit to bursting - wild hyperbole. |

I think what most people are concerned about is not open spaces but the absolute bursting point of our infrastructures and services which can no longer cope "efficiently" with the numbers that are using and requiring them. Our infrastructures and services were never meant to cope with these numbers and thus we find ourselves wanting and waiting in every respect. |

Except of course that those very infrastructures are actually very much dependent on those immigrants. And to a higher extent than the extra loading the immigrants place on them You want an NHS without foreigners in it? Be careful what you wish for |

It was a political decision made by the party in power to spend the money coming in on from all these new bods on reducing the deficit rather than investing in the infrastructure to cope with the increased numbers. So not the immigrants but the government. The party in power could have put processes in place to deter these new bods but chose not to. A political decision made by the party in power. Don't blame the immigrants they are just doing what any rational person would do in their position. Blame the government that is giving you the shaft and blaming it on the EU when they quite clearly could have done something about it. This is addressed to Rich.

That can be fixed if the will was there by using indigenous Brits, we are only robbing other countries of their valued skilled people and that is nothing to be proud of. We (read governments) seem to think that they can assuage that anomaly by showering those countries with foreign aid cash.....wrong, it does not get to where it is aimed at and I am glad that Priti Patel will no longer have a say in the matter. |

I'm thinking of starting a new competition. Guess how many posts a thread will run for before foreign aid gets mentioned for absolutely no reason to do with the thread |

Quite if you are prepared to pay for it. How much more tax are you willing to pay to employ indigenous Brits rather than steal from abroad because that is the decision you have to make. Also there is no will from the government to do this. In fact they have removed a bursary for nursing IIRC. Hardly the act of a government that is serious about employing the indigenous population in the NHS. We have a pretty impressive health system on the cheap. If you want it staffed indigenously you can forget the cheap aspect of that. I don't mind either way. I am not ideological about health is delivered but those who make claims about doing it one way or the other really should appreciate the consequences of what they are suggesting. As usual it is not at all about will but all about money. |
