no problem brian, it has slipped back to page 6 "world population to hit 7 billion" if you want to read the comments.

I can only repeat what I posted on the last thread: we should be producing more food for the world market and exporting it for an income.

Is it racist to say that the increase in population - future and current, is (largely) down to immigration ?
If so, then those who carried out the research and publicised their results, are guilty - if not, then we need a serious debate on immigration - the benefits and disadvantages and who should and who should not be allowed in and what can we do about those undesirables we cannot repatriate - like the thousands of foreign criminals we keep here.

Roger
much as you would love to blame everything on the immigrants,
if we are to have a serious debate thats not the only area we should be looking at if we want to look at financial cost etc.
Closer to home our very own white UK residents many abuse the benefits system day in day out
i could not afford to spend all day in a pub, nor could i drink all that strong alcohol in pencester etc, nor afford it.
so lets have a serious debate on the whole issue not just blame one section of society.
of course as iv said on here on other threads NO GOVERMENT will take it on as it's a vote loser.

Roger I don't think the global population is affected by immigration. Unless you know something the rest of us don't, of course!

What is true that it's the poorest countries where the population will increase and places like China and Russia will see a decline.

the increased population has nothing to do with immigration what so ever,just women giving birth at 200,000 babys a day.lucknow india has been worked out to have the privalige of having the 7 billionth baby.

actually it does have an effect on our population numbers, recent figures showed a much higher birth rate among immigrant families than people born here.

Oh come on Howard, some of us have done our best.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

Roger must have been referring to the population increase in Britain in connection to immigration, so the debate he asks for quite evidently concerns Britain and not the rest of the world.
Roger is right, we have no say at all on immigration to Britain, we all know this.
Keith, it has nothing to do with British people spending all day in the pub, or being on benefits. Immigration has nothing to do with this at all.
According to official calculations that have just come out now, and which correspond to those previously made both by BNP and UKIP, net immigration (the number of immigrants who arrive each year minus those who leave), makes up for half of the population increase in the UK, while the other half is owing to the high birth rate of of children born to immigrants, even after they receive a British passport.
The birth rate among immigrant families is ON AVERAGE a lot higher than among British (Anglo-Celtic) people.
If we had a petition with at least 100,000 signatures for a referendum on immigration and sent it to Parliament, Camers, Labour and LibDems would impose a 3-line whip and vote against it!
Their policy is to continue immigration on even higher levels than prior to 2010, and whatever Camers said to the contrary before the last Election, was just the usual iron-cast fib.

That's interesting in the article above about mothers having to step out of work owing to childbirth.
It no doubt implies stepping out of employed work.
Here in Folkestone Road there are people who never go to the pub, never work either, don't speak English when talking from one end of the street to the other, and evidently live only on benefits.

Yes, of course I was referring to the growth of Britain's population - otherwise we'd be talking about an alien invasion.
How else can our population growth be explained, other than by immigration and their high birth-rate ?
It's been in the papers, on the radio and on TV, so I'm not making it up as Keith seems to be saying.
