European women have ridiculously low birth rates (Italy, a catholic country supposdely against contraception), is only 1.35!!!!!, Germany isn't that much better), while immigrants to Europe have high birthrates, often very high.  Anyone with even the most basic common sense and ability to count on one hand can see what the outcome of this will be down the line. This is a fantastic thing according to the BBC/Left, and the BBC will try to encourage this as much as possible.

If you bothered to open BBC today chances are you will never stop reading them, no matter the standard of the crap they feed you. There are many that blame BBC everyday yet their next thread is about another news item BBC fed them.

Pressure to have children can come from all kinds of places.

A parent who's impatient for grandkids. Friends who've recently had children themselves. Potential partners who ask on first dates what your plans are for the future.



How is that pressure?  If you want kids it's a good idea to find out early whether a potential mate does or not.  Why waste time?
Report Just Checking July 31, 2019 1:32 PM BST
Got to agree with the above. Wondering if your prospective partner wants or doesn't want kids is about as basic as it gets as a life expectation, in many ways it's the entire POINT of a man and woman pairing up. it's just pathetic snowflakery to think this is a bad thing or "pressure". WTF is the point in a man who wants kids going 10 dates with a woman before finding out she doesn't? So she gets a load of meals bought for her and he's wasted weeks of his life, how feminist would that be.

some people are thinking of not having kids because of climate change.

BBC news today had the usual double attack of Brexit doom mongery and Climate Change doom mongery.
Hard to remember a day they DIDN'T tbh. Still time for them to round it off the hat trick with an evening story from Will Gomperz about something to do with Diversity in showbiz.

Exactly

As for the comment above from detraveller I do not push anything from the media in a positive light

They are basically pressuring women NOT to have kids ffs, whilst hiding it with blaming "social pressure" CrazyCrazy

Women can make their own minds up surely? and most women round my end who have had kids recently have done so because they got "broody", it was the men who were sort of pushed into it by the women. I don't think the media live in the real world ffs.

But on that point, when the US company is booming the BBC hate covering it. Same as when pound goes up they don't like to cover it, when it drops they like to cover it, as evidenced again this week in spades. When FTSE goes up they hate covering it, when it drops they love covering it.

Every International Athletics meeting is a positive endorsement (also reported on) depends how you choose to view the reality of human physiology.

Report Just Checking July 31, 2019 4:54 PM BST
Actually in a very high level ojective view there were surely positive aspects of the slave trade. Without it it's extremely unlikely there would have been the influx of black people to the US and caribbean put in that situation with western instruments, culture, religion and hardship mixing it all up.
And without that I think it's extremely unlikely we'd have had Blues, Jazz, Funk, even Reggae and therefore all the things that depended on that, Swing, Rock, the Beatles, Heavy Metal etc. Indeed music would probably be totally sh1t without it, we'd all be listening to how much is that doggy in the bloody window. We probably wouldn't even have had George Formby.

I'm speaking a whole load of sense of course but if someone publically said that you'd be lynched by the SJWs who don't like facts or objective thought.... You could imagine the Guardian Peace. "JC points out Slavery lead to good music. He's a nazi apologist that must be killed."

Would we even have electric guitars, as now, and amplication? Serious point. Why would you need Marshalls and Gibson Les Pauls to play "How much is that doggy in the window".

It's simply a fact that "bad things" can sometimes have extra results that are good. Without WW2 for example, horrendous as it was, many techinoligical advances would have come much later or not at all. Computing, plane technology, radar, submarines, medicines all took a massive leap forward. Without the cold war, would the internet or it's like even be invented by now.

It's a funny old thing, necessity is the mother of invention. You know the old saying, when a butterfly flaps its wings ... it might lead to accussations by other butterflies it's causing a draught.
