Default Population up by half a million on last year

UK population increases by 500,000, official figures show

300K of which was immigration.

So my bet says we get:
  • Someone saying they are all here for the benefits
  • Someone saying they aren't
  • Alcazar berating Martin for something
  • F1_fan insulting at least 3 people
  • DPB trying to start an argument
  • Warren saying this would never happen under UKIP
  • The usual scoobynet levels of racism
  • Another thread ruined/pointlessly derailed
Anything else I've forgotten?

Total population is 65million nearly. That's 2.5 times as many as in the whole of Aus which is 31.5 times the size of the UK!

Yes but even you must know that's not a fair comparison, most of Australia is uninhabitable or wants to eat you.

If you dig a little deeper (beyond the headlines), you'll see that the big problem is not the size of our population, it's the age of our population!

Ah but that wouldn't suit the normal Scoobynet thought process would it.

Which WOULDN'T be such a problem if your mate Brown hadn't nicked all the pension pots, would it?

Or your buddies Bliar and Brown hadn't opened the doors to Eastern European kids to come and do the jobs our kids did? Leaving ours needing benefits?

You couldn't make this **** up........

Yes, you forgot to sum it up with > "Welcome to NSR. "

Or you could have summed it up with > "Same sh7t, different day. "

The big problem is indeed the size of the population, which has grown rapidly over the last 15 or so years. Regardless of age, every member of the population needs housing, healthcare, the use of roads and other travel, etc. - not just the elderly. So your argument is flawed.
You show a quite staggering lack of intelligence. Your post is economically illiterate.

Alcazar's rant is not an answer, it's just an illogical moan as always.

Illogical? In what way, oh great seer?

DID Brown nick the pension pots?
DID Bliar and Brown open the gates when every other EC country controlled it?
DID Bliar, Brown and Bush bomb the **** out of Iraq and Afghanistan, costing us £billions?

Make up your mind, he's either a raging Tory or a rampant Labourite. The two don't tend to be compatible.

Ok, so what in my post was economically illiterate? I bet you don't answer this question because you don't actually know.

That's pretty daft really, because if we kicked out all the young immigrant workers it would be today's problem not a future one.

the only people who gain from young immigrant workers, are company owners and shareholders in said companies, and it gets better if camertwat gets his way they(the immigrant) won't even pay tax to be here either as the min wage won't be taxed, so the joe average working **** foots the bill once again, oh and the uk average age is 40, we wouldn't have a problem with this if gordon hadn't nicked our pension's
