England, like many developed countries, has too large a population. It also has a very high standard of living compared to most of the world.
Many people in the third world are desperate to get to England and escape the terrible conditions in their own countries. They want a job and a better life for themselves and their children. They risk their lives to get here.
We do not want them here because we have too many people, there is not the infrastructure or facilities and we are concerned that our culture is at risk.
We can put up obstacles to prevent immigration. We can legislate to keep them out. We can fight a xenophobic war against immigrants. We can become racist and fascist.
I have a better solution.
Why don’t the super-rich capitalists refrain from creating poverty in the third world, which they exploit for profit, and enable the whole world to stabilise, educate themselves, restrict their population, develop prosperity and not need to emigrate to survive?
If there wasn’t the huge differential of wealth across the globe there would not be a problem.
Capitalism creates poverty.
Until the selfish and greedy super-rich elite develop empathy and compassion, or there are international laws to restrict their predatory sociopathic tendencies, we will have poverty, war, conflict and misery.
In the midst of plenty most still go hungry…………… It cannot be right
Capitalism creates poverty.<<< so true dear, it also creates war
It also destroys the environment. There has to be a better way of running things other than merely for profit, surely? Nice to hear from you Nadine!
I think we should all know by now that those greedy psychopaths in power are not about to “share the wealth” with the poor who they exploited.
That leaves us with but one, unpalatable option, keep them out through ANY means, we cannot support them, soon we won’t even be able to feed ourselves let alone the billions who “want a better life” by migrating to richer, for now, countries.
Those kind bleeding hearts who want open borders do not realize the result of that, utter chaos, rampant crime & mass poverty & starvation.
There are too many of US & well as too many of THEM, this is a delema we have IGNORED for far too long & now those “cows” are coming home.
I’m so glad I’m not young for what I see ahead for them is horrable.
How long can the corporate media LIES keep the truth from reaching the ignorant, superstitious masses?
Even the dumbest will eventually realize there is no carrot on the end of the stick & “renewables” are a profitable SCAM.
Already the politicians are polishing their lies, the same lies they endlessly feed us, more jobs, better income, health care for all, end the wars, better this & that & lower taxes.
We can “choose” between oligarch warmonger #1 OR oligarch warmonger #2 !
I’m so “excited”!
With such “choices” why even bother to “vote”?
Yet still there are lots of people who think there isn’t an overpopulation problem!!
