ubermaus Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 After an unprecedented rise in the population, around 5 million in the last 11 years how close is the UK to breaking point? How close are we to being 'full'? where public services cant cope etc. Another 10 years or can we turn this around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 We need to exit the European Union to tackle population rise seriously. We have virtually no control of the border as a member of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was full many years ago, but fortunately for now we have the wealth to exploit the poorer parts of the world. ---------- Post added 18-05-2015 at 17:39 ---------- How do countries with bigger populations than us cope? They either have significantly more land and resources than we have or their standard of living is worse than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC33 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 5 million in 11 years is close to a increase of 500 000 per year. Can't possibly be true. 500 000 coming in maybe,but when you deduct the people leaving the figure should be around 300k I'd imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
