It's the same here...every school with a playing field is being demolished and new houses built on the land. This country is totally and irrevocably bu**ered. And our world as a whole is doomed too. Overpopulation will be the death of us. Just imagine this country in 30 years time. An ever increasing population, with newcomers arriving from countries where large families are the norm. That's not going to change. And more cemeteries needed for people of a certain religion who do not believe in cremation. So that's more land required for the living and the dead. This country is not going to be a green and pleasant land for much longer. And immigration is not going to stop, no matter what we the public want. The Euro-Mediterranean Barcelona agreement of 1995 spells out quite clearly what the intentions are. And it's not going to be very pretty. I'm glad I'm old. I watched the Blue Planet series over the last few weeks....it brings me to tears...we humans do not deserve this priceless jewel of a planet.
