"Jim and Dave's far-left site, and presumably the Telegraph, excluded " islands, city states, and dependencies" "
What "far left site would that be?
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.
I ask again, are all those 4.6 million Britons living abroad "wrong" as you clai the nurses are for coming to Britain in the first place - the world really does need to know so it can mend its ways!!
