Country faces over-population
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.”

“Some peopl only play the 'racist' card because they can't argue against the truth and don't want to acknowledge problems.
This country cannot support the levels it has been doing.
We are a net importer of energy and food now, what happens if one or the other stops coming?
People have been pointing this out for a long time and have been called racist.
I am a leftwing green party voter that acknowledges reality unlike some of my fellow comrades with their head buried in the sand.
We cannot sustain it. Shouting racism and offering no solutions SOLVES NOTHING.
You just make the racists case for them by being as pig headed as them.”

“This country can't support a 100 million people, it can't even realistically support 75 million which is the estimated REAL current level.
It can only support 40 million people.
We have been stitched up on purpose for a meltdown.
Tick Tock, the bomb is counting down.”

“So doug, you are either:
a) think that the bosnian/turkish muslims don't have a different (islamic) culture
or b) you're just an out and out racist?!”

“multi cultural does not equate to the %age of muslims. In any case, most muslims in Germany are either Bosnian or Turkish and they doen't look that different to the locals. There are very few blacks or asians here”

“doug,
The figures for 2009 show;
Germany. 4% Muslim.
France. ...6% Muslim.
The UK. ...2.7% Muslim.
I think this is probably a good indication of the level of multiculturalism in Germany, a trend that followed the call for immigrant workers (largely from Turkey) that followed Germany's defeat in WWII.”
