    Notice how the propaganda machine turned out how much better off we will be with a bigger population than everyone else at the same time? (Or the timing was visa versa).

    I reckon we should just keep importing people in numbers rising exponentially. That way we will never have a pensions crisis. Genius.

    UK population 'will be top in EU'

    The UK population is projected to become the largest in the EU
    The UK population is set to become the largest in the European Union, according to a report.

    It is expected to increase from its current figure of 61 million to almost 77 million in 2060 - a rise of 25%.

    This would make it the largest population in the EU, ahead of the projections for France (72 million) and Germany (71 million).


    But we are only 2/3rd the size.

    For instance, with unemployment we can say that people who are unemployed are on average happier in an area of high unemployment compared to being unemployed in an area where everyone else around you has a job.
    So we should move all the unemployed people to the same place. Up north perhaps?

    Manchester is the second happiest but has the most instances of 'self-harming' in the country. It's all bollox!
