# The point I think Ghosty is making
is that the UK is very crowded and allowing immegration from cultures where it is apparently cultural to have loads of kids is a tab out of step with population trends in this country

I watched a program the other day basically concluding this planet can realistically cope with a maximum of around one billion humans; and given it's presently not coping at all with our present population, we don't really want to invite more people into this particular society who statistically have 4+ children, it's unsustainable

# And on the other hand, if everyone reduces the number of children they have,
it'll lead to a massive increase in the proportion of pensioners in the country.
That means reduced pensions all round, and having to work much much longer.
I'm not arguing that the world isn't overpopulated, but short of some kind of cull I don't think there's a quick fix.

# Well I see only one obvious solution.
1) Just get rid of anyone who isn't a messageboarder or Kelly Brooks!
2) Start an intensive repopulation programme involving riverghost and Kelly Brooks.
