I don't agree with him all the time but in this instance he's right. Everyone should be limited to one child per couple for the next hundred years.

Except those living on benefits. Otherwise they won't be getting enough for that 5 bed detached house worth £3m in London.

He should do the decent thing then and top himself.

Really?

Any facts to back this up?

It's mainly Africa and a few other places causing the problem.

Wrong. Nigeria is projected to have 730m people by 2100 (from current 160m).

Conversely, China is about to lose 300m and India gain another 300m.

Africans should stop breeding like rabbits. Ditto for Arabs.

*Funny peculiar rather than funny ha ha.

China has the one child thing.

India is on the up though.
