BRITAIN'S multi-cultural society has developed rapidly and, according to the latest report, the ethnic share of the population is set to rise to 20 per cent plus, by 2050.

The disturbing factor is mass immigration came about without consent of UK residents. It was the ruling classes that were besotted at the prospect of building a multi-cultural society, so a succession of governments attracted immigrants without having any long-term contingency plans.

Now Britain is one of the most over-populated countries. According to the Optimum Population Trust, such an increase in population will put further pressure on housing, schools, hospitals and agriculture.

The over-population index is a study to rank countries according to their sustainability and how dependent they are on other nations for resources. It gave the UK a self-sufficiency rating of just 25.8 per cent.

At current levels, our dependency on other countries' resources is predicted to increase to 90 per cent by 2032.

It means if we had to rely on our own food, water and energy we could sustain only 15 million people, so at current consumption levels, we are over-populated by more than 45 million.

If there is an era of shortages, food, energy, and water, being so dependent on other countries puts us in a very vulnerable position.

The nation lacks leadership.

    “I have no idea what your over-active imagination is conjuring up, Onlooker. I have no agenda. I'm simply voicing my opinions on the letter. It's as simple as that.”

    “Many of those who say that Britain cannot be self-sustaining see only one solution to the problem - stop immigration. It may indeed be necessary at some point to limit or suspend immigration, but to think that this is sufficient to deal with the problem is simplistic. You also need to deal with making the country more self-sufficient. Even in under-populated Canada, people are beginning to look at where their food comes from, and take steps to cut down reliance on imported food.
    This is a genuine concern, and discussion of the topic can in no way be considered racist. However, there is little doubt that others with racist tendencies seize on the topic as a way of trying to make their racist views appear logical and respectable.
    What a pity Mr. Starbuck has not seen fit to answer any of the questions I asked him.”
