OT Overpopulation

yes and quite a number owned by the 'govenrment' . I can't quite work out whether or not it is good for the 'average person' that people are buying up properties in London (or anywhere) and leave them empty for years and refuse to rent them out. When you hear that most of the builds are spit between those said to be 'affordable' and the rest.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised the reason for my reference to him went straight over your head. So much does.

I generally find that the utterings and witterings of the partially brain dead are not worth trying to see deep meaning in, since there seldom is any.

England considered as a separate country would be the 30th most densely populated territory in the world (413/sq km), the place currently held by The Netherlands (406/sq km). Wales (149/sq km) is marginally more densely populated than China (142/sq km)

What's it like just for England and Wales? Scotland is quite a large chunk with a small population.

And, to localise that even further, the local authority areas most representative of that population density are Tendring, Essex (Frinton-on- Sea, Clacton, Harwich) and Mid-Sussex (E. Grinstead, Haywards Heath).

Hardly inner-city hellholes with people crammed on top of each other, are they?

It's not so much intelligence as common sense, which is very much not common.

Which is no use if noone can build on it.

People seem to be confusing a few rich blokes buying a few 1000 London homes with "greedy landowners with vast tracts of fields".

There's a reason farm land is cheap compared to residential land.

The Netherlands is currently the 30th most densely populated country in the world. if England were to be considered as a separate entity, it would be 30th and The Netherlands 31st.

Come again? The second part of that sentence makes no sense (or is incomplete).

Yes but we just don't want it. We don't want to build over our green fields just to house a load of Pakistanis. We don't the cultural values of this country changing to suit Islam.

They can demand all they like, but they have to set up their own industry and infrastructure in order to get the benefits. There's no reason why we should share with them the benefits of our industriousness and civilised ways. They can bugger off.

We have boundless acres of flat farmland, but that's no reason to let foreigners come to live on it. I'd rather drive past acres of turnips than acres of Pakistanis. At least turnips lead quiet inoffensive lives.

I invested ?14,000. That's not nothing.

Meanwhile, you did nothing. Also known as idleness. I expect you have massive debts because you're a socialist.

BTW shit-fer-brains, all electricty production is subsidised.
