Answer 6

That's because people aren't having kid's as early or as many as years ago.Most friends I have, have 1 or 2 kid's when I was a kid you came from families of 4 to 10 kids.

Answer 7

It's just immigration that bothers me.

It should be stopped.

Answer 8

Nope. At under 60 million our home market is often too small. We need around 100 million. It will also boost house prices so that anyone owning as house now and lives to 2050 can sell up and retire as a millionaire in some developing country.

Answer 9

Almost every day, someone in the media makes a statement about 'horrendous' immigration statistics. Very little is said about emigration statistics. Brits are leaving the UK in droves, every day.

Of course. such people do not relieve over-crowding in schools  or on public transport and pressure on the NHS, or the housing market. Why would they?
