And when they get old? Import more people? And when they get old?



PS. Most "economic migrants" are a net drain on society in their use of public services. Bringing them in doesn't add to the pension pot.

But hey ho, keep voting Labour. You'll find out when you grow up.

I don't recall ever advocating bringing in economic migrants, and I can't ever see myself voting Labour. I'm merely pointing out that reducing the current birth rate is likely to exacerbate what is already an increasing problem.

Just tax the fewer people a lot harder.

OK. Which is the greater evil:
1. Breeding like rabbits on Viagra until we literally run out of everything.
2. Introducing mechanisms to reduce the now dangerously large population.

Why not just kill people when they stop working?

I shouldn't give nuLieBore ideas.

I agree entirely with the idea of stopping the population growing to the extent that it can no longer be supported. However, I think this strategy would be far more effective in developing nations already struggling with high food prices etc.

The answer does not necessarily lie in increasing the birth rate. In fact it takes years for a baby to grow into a productive member of society.

We have millions of unemployed in the UK, many possibly due to our useless education system, and also many due to low aspirations, low self esteem and high benefits available. What we need to do is to reduce their benefits, train/educate them, build their confidence and get them off of the dole.

On top of that there are many older people that want to work but are discriminated against due to age. Let's get them into work if they are capable.

I would build lots of nuclear powr stations to try to remove our dependence on oil/gas.
