Prices of homes in this country are still rising and are now pretty much unaffordable to anyone who was born after 1980. Government solution: build more homes, take away more countryside and make everyone live in crappy crowded places. Oh and open the doors to everybody else in the world who wants to come here, especially rich Russians fleeing Putin who will happily raise house prices in London just that little bit more.
What is this all about??? The worlds population is getting huge and yet no one seems to dare say "Hey, why not encourage people NOT to have kids?".
House prices high? Be less of a problem if there weren't so many new buyers. People would have to sell property at reasonable prices (Heaven forbid the greedy bastards might lost some money!)
Got a problem with badly brought up children? Wouldn't have so much of a problem if there was less of them.
High prison population? Well we can ensure it's reduced in future!
Unemployment? Ditto.
Large class sizes. This is EASY!
Pension crisis due to lower reproduction? Well we are going to eventually get to the point where we can't have any more people living on the island if we constantly need MORE young people so we may as well face the problem now and sort it out rather than leave it to another generation to solve.
Imagine a country with less people. Imagine getting a train and being able to sit down. How pleasant would that be? Imagine affordable houses. Imagine no ugly new builds. Imagine children who've been brought up with all the necessary attention at school and home because there aren't so many of them. Imagine a country in which we could actually LIVE!
