In my last post I stated that I hadn’t quite reached the ‘Grumpy Old Git’ stage yet. Well, I was lying, I have.

Some time ago I heard an interview on the radio with an eminent economist. The discussion was based on sustainable resources and the effects of over population depleting those essential resources. The economist predicted that the UK’s resources will be seriously undermined or even completely depleted because of the massive levels of population growth in our country. He went on to explain the ideal population levels for a country of our size and how its resources in the form of housing, land for food production, electricity, water supplies, roads rail and other transport means plus excellent health care and education system for the people could be sustained. The economist said that the ideal population level for all of the above, in a country of the size of the UK, would be around 15 million rising to a maximum of about 21 million people.

It was not difficult to believe that he was correct. Can you imagine just what a wonderful country ours would be with a population level between 15 and 21 million? There would be sufficient numbers to produce the wealth that the nation needed. Enough land to be virtually self-sufficient in food, our roads would be less crowded and not grid locked as at present. Housing would be planned to cater for the needs of the people and their families. The health and education systems would cope more than adequately, providing excellent services. And, perhaps most importantly, there would be sufficient space both in urban and rural areas for the people to breathe without a sense of claustrophobia. They would have the space for peace and quiet if they wanted it.

It has been predicted that our population will reach 70 million in only a few year’s time, and this is probably quite a realistic prediction. This rise is not the result of the native population having so many children as the cause, but is the result of the social engineering policies of successive governments who deliberately flooded our country with foreigners who, traditionally, have large families thus adding to the burdens placed on the use of our resources and space, to the detriment of the native British, (especially the English).

What the politicians, academics, ‘intellectuals’, planners and other assorted ‘liberals’ and ‘free thinkers’ have done to our nation is nothing short of a criminal act of treason to the British people. Yet these same people who have committed this criminal folly have always found ways in which they avoid living with the consequences of their actions. - Grumpygit.
