# That's an entirely subjective term.
Densley populated in comparison to France - maybe.

"Full", though? Really? I seem to be able to get out of my flat and wander around the country with ease. It doesn't strike me as "full", and in the countryside, not "densley populated", either.

# it's not in any way "subjective"
it's an absolute demographic measure. You take the number of people in a country and you divide by its surface area.

# So how come it's possible to wander about in the woodlands of Somerset and not seen a person for a whole day?
Doesn't sound like an adequate description of "densley populated" to me.

# because the world is a big place.
in comparison with most other countries, the UK is densely populated. Whether it is overpopulated is another matter.

Also, I grew up in the woodlands of Somerset and I'd rather they weren't bulldozed for housing, ta.

And why don't you want the woodlands bulldozed for housing? You'd rather shanty towns instead? They tend to be a bit of a pain.

# Well it's that or "NO FORRINS" and then you get into the whole
"Why the hell not?" territory, and trying to explain how one isn't forrin but another is, and, well, generally joining the BNP, really.

# Where did I accuse you of racism?
I'm saying if you're anti-immigration (which is a bit silly, as immigration is a good thing that promotes competition and fuels culture) then you need to devise a method of stopping who can immigrate.

It's pretty tricky to do if it's not by race, and impossible to justify by birthright, considering the amount of spongers and criminals we manage to grow ourselves here, before one even gets into why the geography of where one was born should entitle one to things or not.

# Yeah it's by no means full and some areas are way more populated than others
but towns and cities are only going to grow, i've seen a lot of green land where i grew up turned over for housing

I just think that overall the world is overpopulated though

# the UK?
it's pretty dense I guess - 51st in the world.

The thing that confuses the whole "we r full!" issue is that all the jobs are concentrated in the UK's major cities - they probably are full.
