England has the largest population density of any western european country. Roughly double that of Germany & Italy, three times that of France.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 9:06 amAlexa, show me some birds eye view images of the English countryside.

Re: Migrants crossing the channel
We dont currently produce enough food for the population we have . Therefore , building on farmland is not really a sensible suggestion is it. Or perhaps we should drain all the peat bogs and build on them or cut down Epping Forest and cover that with concrete .Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 3:14 pmWhy not?

Hang on, you said we were over crowded. Now you’re saying the issue is we can’t produce enough food for ourselves?
What really is the issue here?

But it’s total population I’m talking about. France , for example, has a similar population but is twice the size of the UK .

That and geography. Human need and greed make people want to be closer to the action. Even Manchester and the industrial north is a bit of a wilderness to mainland Europe by car/lorry - hence the drift towards the closest crossing point.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 3:42 pmOver concentration of wealth in the south east leading to high population density and density in general.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 3:38 pm Hang on, you said we were over crowded.

It does not matter what is done by whatever government - in whatever country. There will always be a concentration of people around the areas capable of generating the most potential wealth.

"all available land "
arr you quite sure ?
There are 100s of sports pitches up& downt the country not being usrd , there are thousands of miles of national parks not being used , dont talk twaddle about us using all available land .
Raise taxes so we can cover the cost of food production meaning wr can eat cheaply .
Again its Agriculture

Don’t talk twaddle says the master of twaddle. Do you have any idea of the purpose of national parks. Are you aware of climate change. Do you understand anything about ecology or the environment and how it is all interlinked.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:29 pmIsnt GM food what Bidge is askink Jo for ?

By raising taxes , the only people that would be eating cheaply would be the poor , low end earners. I love that idea

My Mums family were farmers
My Dads grandparents were Farmers .
ive never heard a scientist yet say
wheat corn maize vegetables & fruit or rice has had anything to do with Climate Change . Please provide a link if you can find one .
Taxation of the wealthy & Buisness would provide all we need too in the way of food .
