I am spending a lot of time in hospitals right now, and the many "foreigners" on the staff do not "slouch about" at all.
They are good people and dedicated workers.

I am very grateful for the care they give, though I feel guilty that we steal them from poor countries because it is cheaper than us paying to train them.

Is there room for more people to come here.
Yes.
It used to be said that every living person could physically be fitted on to the Isle of Wight.
England is already about the most densely populated country on Earth, and the population has just increased by the equivalent of another Leeds in just one year.

Obviously we have not built another Leeds, so the desperate shortage of houses, schools and hospitals gets worse every day.

Will you call me an obscene name again for this Dave?

How sad you are to have to resort to obscene name calling.
I left that behind with puberty.

This is what The Daily Telegraph said about our population.
They have more cred than you and never resort to naughty words.

"Beyond Europe, England's population density is among the highest in the world for major countries. England ranks third in density after Bangladesh (1,045 per sq km) and South Korea (498 per sq km)."

"The figures were obtained in a parliamentary answer from the Office of National Statistics.
In 2008 the average number of people per square kilometre in Britain was 253, rising to 395 in England.
Latest figures from Holland show that its population density was 395 a square kilometre in 2002 and 393 in 2005. It is estimated that English population density will rise to 464 people for every square kilometre by 2031.
The population density in England is already almost double the level in Germany and quadruple that in France.
The only country in the European Union with greater crowding is the tiny island of Malta, which only has 400,000 people, most of whom live around the port of Valletta.
England has taken its position as the most crowded country in Europe at a point when the risk of economic recession has led to growing concerns over diminishing numbers of jobs and pressure on public services."

Dave, Keith,
You are not discussing the same facts.
Dave's link discusses the population density of the UK, Keith's the population density of England.

I think we can agree that Scotland (with its highlands & islands) is less densly populated than England. This brings the figure for UK in at a lower density than for England alone.

Can we avoid and argument in which you may both be right in what you are stating, without the other, necessarily, being wrong?

Dave, I supplied that same link on the other thread.

It gives this ranking,
Bangladesh
The Palestinian territories
Taiwan
South Korea
The Netherlands
England.

Palestinian Territories are not any kind of country.
That is why the Telegraph ignored it.
Taiwan is a large city on a small island, and not considered a "major country."
The Netherlands were overtaken by us in population density years ago, so your link confirms the Telegraph's view that "Beyond Europe, England's population density is among the highest in the world for major countries. England ranks third in density after Bangladesh (1,045 per sq km) and South Korea (498 per sq km)."

We should not discuss part of the UK as a separate entity, Nigel. It is misleading to do so as explained in the article I linked. It is a tactic favoured by little Englanders. Immigration is always UK wide. To try and represent it in any other way is dishonest.

Nigel,
      Keith and the telegraph prefer to use the English figures it makes the problem seem so much more dramatic.
The majority use the less dramatic UK figures.
Upland Dartmoor and parts of the Yorkshire moors have a density of one or less per square km London has a density of many hundreds possibly thousands per square km.
Careful selection of statistics can give a very distorted picture.

Have the two protagonists considered that considering that simple population density figures (area divided by population) might be meaningless?
Mauritania has only 3.77 people per sq. km. Wow! The place is virtually empty! The could afford to take many millions more.... except that the country is 100% Sahara desert.

Let's compare two countries whose are is comparable in size:-
At http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.POP.DNST it tells us that the density figures for Japan is 350 whilst for the UK it is 265. That makes Japan 1.32 times more crowded than the UK except that Japan has vastly larger areas of uninhabitable highlands compared with Britain.

Then as well as these two elements you have factor in the state of economic, industrial and agricultural development, climate and a whole range of other considerations before you can arrive at a figure for how many people a country can reasonably sustain.

"Dave, I supplied that same link on the other thread."
You appear to have moved from "most intensely populated in the world" to "second most" and now to seventh - getting nearer to the actual 52nd all the time - this time next year maybe.
Seems like yesterday you said - "Is there room for more people to come here. Yes."
My mistake, it was earlier today!!
You say that you are "spending a lot of time in hospitals right now"
Wonder why?
You have been given the researched figures and the warning of how they can be misused (by a Government official), yet you persist on claiming the misused figures presentthe true picture

Keith A of Hertford may be quoting from The Daily Torygraph (which like any newspaper will lie and distort in order to push their particular agenda) but his timing is suspiciously in line with the plea from UKIP leadership to up the ante on this subject.

Forget The UK. England is not uniformly populated for starters. Any firgures are sheer nonsense.

The complaint UKIP, BNP and Keith have is based on a particular fallacy. Not the square footage of space available, but the drain on resources. As immigration consistently makes a posiitve contribution to the nation's coffers, and Nigel Farage and him with the wonky eye from BNP know this, the only reason they and Keith push this odious agenda, supported by the more extreme idiots in the Tory party is, like Keith's assertion that men of Pakistani origin are hardwired to rape white girls, just pigments of their odious imagination.

It's appalling that Mudcat is allowed to be a soapbox for extremists really..

Dave's lefty site, that I linked to first, shows England in fourth place if you count Taiwan.
The only disagreement with the Telegraph ranking is they did not count Taiwan as a "major country."

Third or fourth, it was still reasonable, as an aside, to say, "England is about the most densely populated country on earth."

Unless you count Taiwan it is third, otherwise fourth.

And if you think that it is reasonable to extract England out of the UK for your purposes that how about we extract other 'nations within nations'. In that case Northern Rhine and Westphalia is far more densely populated. There are many other such tricks but the more honest amongst us do not use them.

But since you have nothing more to add, I welcome your departure. Now just go away.

"as a throw away remark in a post about our tolerance"
It was no such hing - it was a distorted picture presented by the right-wing press purporting to show how Britain cannot take any more immigrants - that has always been your line and has never changed.
At one time, you took great pains to show how the immigration figures were the cause of Britain's housing shortage.
"The Lefty outrage was unexpected and hilarious!"
You must be joking - you have gone from thread to thread being opposed because of your extremism -
"Dave's lefty site, that I linked to first, shows England in fourth place if you count Taiwan."
No it doesn't - the officially researched figures show Britain to be 52nd in the denisty population league - you have the statistics and you have the reasons why the Telegraph and the Daily Mail are claiming otherwise.

Luckily I am feeling particularly happy having just come home from seeing Bellowhead. Must say that stage looked rather crowded and I did not think Keith would still be at it having said he had no more to say hours ago. Still, it the spirit of bon homie I will point out that he has never said the the UK is the nth most dense, Jim. He has constantly referred only to England. It is a well known ploy by 'kippers and other right wing loonies. Immigration is listed as UK wide. Population density is only in England. Makes it look worse than it actually is and, sadly, as we can see, people are still falling for it. It is pretty much like me referring to Grassington as being grossly overcrowded with incomers by quoting the number of people in the Marquee at the concert. Blatant misinformation for a political agenda. But I think we knew that already.

"Jim, I quoted you paragraph 3 from your site."
Never mind the out-of-context quotes Keith - you have the actual figures which place Britain 52nd, as is quoted in at least three sites you you have been linked to
I've given you thirteen which exceed Britain's 265 - would you like me to put up the other 39?
Always happy to oblige.
You "support" immigration like the rope "supports" the hanged man.
This is now getting grotesque.

Oh well, in that case... I write from my tent at Glastonbury. Florence was on form last night.

Dave is on the button when he says using England figures for The UK is a ploy. According to an article a while ago in The Guardian, UKIP candidates were briefed on using England when running for UK seats ie Westminster.

Shouting down reality by referring to people as "lefties" meanwhile is a known BNP tactic.

What a cosmopolitan contributor we are honoured to "debate" with...

Now, Glastonbury, there is another thing. Good example of how us poor English are treated. England is getting so crowded we have to live in tents with poor sanitation and are subjected to loud music night and day. While these Johnny come latelys live it up in their 10 to a room fancy ex-council apartments. It's an outrage.

:-P

Dave, I said I had nothing to add and I have added nothing, but to respond to all the demands of all the other lefties I had to reiterate the same stuff all over again.
Sorry, take it up with them.

I happened to say originally, in a post about our tolerance, that England is about the most densely populated country.
It is.
It is third (or fourth if you count the island of Taiwan).

Are you done with all the howls of lefty indignation and outrage?

I have not mentioned immigration once Jim.

Guardian two days ago,

"Population growth was the greatest in southern and eastern England, at 1.08% and 0.92% respectively. London had the highest growth, with population in the capital up 1.45%, a result of 82,400 more births than deaths and the highest net international migration of all regions at 107,400.

The estimated population of England as of mid-2014 was 54.3 million, up 0.84%; Scotland was 5.3 million, up 0.37%; Wales was 3.1 million, up 0.31%; and Northern Ireland was 1.8 million, up 0.59%. No country of the UK or region of England witnessed population decline."

"Simon Ross, the chief executive of Population Matters, the UK's leading charity working on population and sustainability issues, said the ONS estimates were a warning of the urgency of attempting to to reduce population growth.

"We are all affected adversely by the rapid population growth of recent decades," Ross said. "Examples include pressure on housing and public services to the environment and climate change. It's time we addressed the population problem, and find ways to live sustainably and happily in the long-term."
