CeeDee.....sorry to drag up the subject of overpopulation, although it does have some bearing on your original post.  I think all immigration should be suspended for the immediate future. We should bring in identity cards, and that would weed out some of those who are here illegally. The police should be given the right to stop anyone that they suspect does not have the right to be here. Anyone found to be here illegally should be deported to their own country. And if their home countries refuse to have them, then bring in sanctions. These are criminals. We have enough people here to do the work. We should make caring for the elderly a respected profession, with double the present wage, and proper training. And once the Jungle camp in Calais is razed to the ground, they should all be made to go home or apply for asylum in any European country. Any children there under ten who profess to have family here, should be allowed to come, provided their families take care of them. And by children I don't mean the 16 and 17 year old 'children' that the government are talking about. Funny how these 16 and 17 year olds are all male...they are having a laugh...at our expense.

I think it was Evo in a previous post who said we could become a divided country. We are almost that now. We have one half of the population who can clearly see the future of this country if immigration is allowed to continue. The other half are the happy liberal Leftists who have a very rosy view of Humankind, and who would say let them all come here, but cannot make a single suggestion as how society is going to cope. We will not cope....there will be big trouble.

oh...and an extra suggestion...the Government could bring in legally assisted suicide for all those old decrepit pensioners who have had a good life and would prefer to bow out gracefully rather than be a drain on this overburdened country, or who might not want to live in the midst of a civil war in a third world country. 

There you are CD.... a few suggestions.
