26 Jun 15 - 08:30 AM (#3719030) Subject: RE: BS: Paying nurses with poor deportment From: Keith A of Hertford 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? |

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." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/2967374/England-is-most-crowded-country-in-Europe.html |

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.

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. |

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.

Whatever the politics of people here, yours is the only argument that is politically driven, virtually all your opponents' arguments are simple common sense backed up by documented facts (anot forgetting humanitarianism, somewhat missing from your outlook on life Your claims don't add up - they are contradicted by all the data you have been given - even the 'Man From the Ministry' has said that there is plenty of room in Britain and immigration is to be welcomes (whatever your politicians say. You have no case, you never had one - now if you are not prepared to discuss this honestly (you could start by stating your obvious objection to immigration) leave it to those who are Jim Carroll |

27 Jun 15 - 08:41 AM (#3719272) Subject: RE: BS: Paying nurses with poor deportment From: Jim Carroll "I have never raised the issue at al" Yes you have - you raised it on the thread about housing shortages and you are raising it now - this subject is about defending the deportation of immigrant nurses and you are defending it on the basis that Britain is overcrowded. In the past, you have accused Asian immigrants being a 'cultural' threat to Britain's security. It's all about immigration and immigrants - and your views are far from "mainstream". Many of them contravene British law - members of Ukip have been forced to resign following slips in which they made statements far less extreme than yours. Even the B.N.P. since it embarked on efforts to be regarded as a serious parliamentary contender, no longer make public statements as extreme as yours. You complain of being insulted, yet you accuse those who disagree with you of being "liars" and Muppets" and "dupes" Whenever you are in trouble, you turn on people and accuse them of being 'lefties' (as now) Personally, I have no problem with that - I only have to remember that it was right-wing German ndustrial capitalism that shipped sx million Jews off to the Nazi extrmiation units. I have no political allegiances - just views on humanity - if that makes me a "leftie", maybe I should reconsider and join something!! No doubt this argument will get yet another thread closed, but I would suggest to those in charge that, given the extremism of your views, nobody can reasonably expect there not to be a strong rection to them - especially as they are now a regular feature of your input to this forum. It seems we are beig left with the alternaives of putting up with your extreme statements or have thread after thread closed - hardly democratic Jim Carroll |

"England" doesn't feature in the charts - it's part of the U.K. (pretty sure somebody has pointed that out). The daily Telegraph which associated overpopulation with immigration contains a link to a report by the Department of Statistics figures on which their claims are based - that report makes no mention of "immigration" as being the root cause of overpopulation - that is a "Telegrahism". As has already been pointed out, Britain's population problems are based mainly around the South Eastern cities and are tracable directly back to how British policy works - the impoverishment of the areas outside of the Greater London 'Pale, which forced many Northerners 'like me' to fly south for work - any overcrowding there is, is where the jobs are - Thatcher's North-South divide has made that a permanent feature of British life The link to the article from the Government employee, welcoming immigration as beneficial to Britain deals with this and warns of the deliberate misuse of superficial claims withot analysing them.

27 Jun 15 - 12:09 PM (#3719329) Subject: RE: BS: Paying nurses with poor deportment From: Jim Carroll "Office For National Statistics." And if you go into those figures you will find that the most densely overpopulated ares are those where the jobs are concentrated - in the South East - nothing to do with emigration - everything to do with deliberate Government policy of centring Britain's wealth around the capital and keeping the provinces impoverished - Thatcher's North/South divide. In order to divert from this, rags like the Telegraph, Mail and Express blame immigration on the situation, even the civil servants responsible for monitoring population affairs recognise the valuable contribution made by immigrants. As I pointed out, your Telegraph article blames immigration, yet the link it gives to the source of its information does not mention the subject. As much as you may wish otherwise, England is part of the United Kingdom - the United Kingdom comes 52nd in the overcrowding league and any overcrowding there is is around the South East Perhaps you'd like to suggest that England secedes from the Union and runs her own affairs - as things stand, statistically, she is regarded no differently than Birmingham SOME MORE STATISTICS WHERE ENGLAND OR the UK DOESN'T FEATURE "What do you people deny?"

My information comes from: Internet World Stats, Wiki...... and other neutral bodies. If you can find a politically motivated quote from a politically motivated site - feel free to point it out. I avoid quoting from "far left sites (or Arab sites) because I know damn well that you would use it as a diversion - as you are now. "In any "fair comparison", England is 3rd, or fourth if you include the island of Taiwan." "fair comparison" means one that backs up your claim - I presume? Your Daily Telegraph quote falls neatly int two parts - one that England is overpopulated, the other that this is caused by immigration (the headline) The linked report in the article does not mention emigration - that is all the management's own handiwork. All of the charts I have been able to find include England in with the United Kingdom - every single on, left, right and centre. May not suit Little Britons, but there you go - I (and the man from the ministry) say there is plenty of room to cope with immigrants in Britain and they tend to be a benefit when they come. You now have the 'leftie' World Bank figures which, without counting, places the U.K. 52nd in the world league. Overpopulation in England is centred around the 'employment belt' and has nothing to do with immigrants, who have become scapegoats for politicians who are able to or care about doing something about it Try responding to facts rather than hiding behind accusations of 'leftie' - might work wonders for your case.
