IS ENGLAND OVERPOPULATED ?

The country isn't, but the cities are.

Yes, not because of space so much, i guess lots of countryside can be built on.

However its the infrastructure, try tavelling on the motorways daytime/rush hour! Then is there is the hospitals/schools all crammed.

Also where more people move is into the cities and previous recreational facilities are all being knocked down for flats and houses so there is f all to do.

It's not where I am. I can see green fields for miles.

The world is over-populated never mind England.

No more room in this village.

yes- imagine 15million max in these beautiful island - stop breeding

yes - by at least one

???

60 million people all living on a tiny island?

Same population as France but a quarter of the size. Sounds like a very severe case of overpopulation to me.

ovalman,difference is the rest of the world are mostly inhabited by their own countrymen,this is not the case in england.

i read somewhere that when geldoff went into ethiopia 25yrs ago(?), the population was 40m - its now 80m.

yes 80 million ethiopians in their own country.

Nice work if you can get it!

book
your ignorance ( even by this forum's standard) is staggering !

geldof in africa: saved many lives short term - created no end of additional misery long term as twice as many subsequently suffered to date.

its not pc - but no overseas aid re famine should be given without it being linked to a long term programme of sterilisation/ population control.


The worlds climate is changing - soon there will be a big reduction in habitable land - wars will result unless population is drastically reduced

No, there's plenty of room if the government would stop restricting the housing supply.

Goring - i suspect you are not well travelled - there is not 'plenty of room'

take a trip to NZ m8- they have their social problems but there's a country with plenty of room!

You know immediately that this country is overpopulated when you get off the ferry and drive here after driving on the continent.
Everyone from anywhere else in Europe comments on it.

shirley you are confusing car posession with population

one bad accident last week on M2 in Kent - result- total gridlock for 5 hours - 12noon til 5pm + in all directions - all routes


of course we are overpopulated

we've enough roads for a sensible number of people

if we had a quarter of current population we could continue to have same no. of cars per family / full employment and less stressful lives


we would be happier


we can do this - planning a reduction over a number of generations to come.

Trouble is - religions won't be sensible about this and neither will political parties

haha try rome if you want to see gridlock :) and that is a population of 4m with 5m cars. I wonder how italians would run a 9m city

The South East certainly is.

the world is overpopulated but dont worry, it wont last much longer...

facts,im only stating the facts,your the ignorant one by not opening your eyes around you.

Rome is indeed a right mess- don't they look after their cars well, flea- all nice and shiny and not a dent in sight :)

Correct, and they're still starving.

What's the point of throwing more money over there?

Metro Manila has 11 million in a third of the size of London. Another 26 million can easily be fitted into London :p

yes

18% of the UKs immigrants live in these 7 East and south east 'London' boroughs.

newham
tower hamlets
hackney
barking
ilford
lewisham
peckham

by the time you take into account Brixton, stockwell, croydon, penge, crystal palace, tottenham, islington, wembley and southall, there can't be a lot left to spread over the rest of the UK, barring Bradford and Blackburn.

Yes far to many pigeons

That Geldoff should have worn a codom.

Far too many Ingerlanders there,imo.They give the place a bad name.

IS ENGLAND OVERPOPULATED ?

need more captials?

Capitalism won't work

Neither will I for £5-80 an hour.

I think there as many people living within the M25 as there are in Australia.
