pratically how would you 'reduce' the population of this country

[1066gull]

This country's population is currently at 61million expected to rise to 75million by 2030 with everyone needing food, water, somewhere to live and work. If you had to spin something to the public, and by God spin is all we can do, what could actually be seen as good for this country?

Get rid of you. It would save us millions on food, but could bankrupt Kleenex.

Drop a nuclear bomb on the Midlands ?

Stop paying child support benefit or whatever it's called nowadays.

In a national emergency a country must plan for the future and discriminate between people who are vital for continued sustainability from those who are not.

So the first option is to look at the top schools and I do not mean the ones who are producing graduates, I mean the schools who will go on to staff our hospitals, our offices, our factories. We need them, agreed?

So coupled with that, we have the failing schools, the schools producing the children destined for a lifetime on benefits and occupying places on the dole and prisons. Should they be treated equally?

God knows we have tried and we are failing. Britain needs serious change, setting up the drawbridge or removing races will not do us any good. All we need to do is remove the people who are not pulling their weight.

Also all benefit for unmarried mothers and chase the father to support the children in a realistic manner not £5 per week.

And if we can't select the worst percentage of families, then what are the school league tables for?

So many flaws in that post, I don't know where to begin.

We do need to discourage the 'underclass' from producing hoardes of offspring that they are ill-equipped to cope with or provide for.

What are the flaws?

How would you select them then fairly?

Free cigarettes to those under 17 and mandatory smoking lessons in primary school.

A population of 75 million means that more jobs have to be created and more houses built.

More jobs requires consumers to be spending more money.

Cutting benefits will reduce the amount of money being spent. Exactly the WRONG thing to do - unless you want to create more poverty.

By all means plan a society that will have 75 million people and widespread poverty. But first consider the possibility that something rather better can be achieved.

Get everybody to go to Withdean at least once, and increase the capacity. That would bore 8500 a week to death. That would be a start....no?

Don't ALL schools produce people that work in hospitals, offices or factories?

I have no idea when it comes to selecting... actually, what am I supposed to be selecting?

An increase to 75m will be an ecological and social disaster. We're DOOMED!

Do you have an idea that you didn't get from Dr Who?

Follow the China syndrome. Every mother will receive support/benefits/financial support for the first child. No benefits at all if you have two. Three or more kids & you contribute into the system

The flippant answer is to suggest that everyone should watch the Albion - they will soon lose the will to live.

However, the relationship between population levels and living standards is slightly more complex than it has been reduced to here. I refer everyone to the work of Dr Thomas Malthus at the start of the nineteenth century; it would appear that his doomsday scenarios have not as yet been borne out. Alternatively, we could put all of the telephone sanitisers on a spaceship and send them to infinity and beyond.

Of the 14 million extra aren't 10 million of them expected to come from Moslem families ?
