ok, sminkeypinkey you win this round

i'm no good at open debate,

we'll have to see how i do when it comes down to argueing policy.

UK population has grown nearly 20% since 1950. There were an estimated 59,553,800 people living in the UK by mid-2003 (59,787,000 estimated at mid-2004), and numbers are still rising. UK population is growing by the equivalent of one whole city every year. (Population growth = natural increase + net migration.) At an annual growth rate of 0.4% a year (the actual growth rate from mid-2001 to mid-2003) our population would pass 200 million in 2308. The latest (mid-2003 based interim) official population projection shows ever rising numbers - now growing by another 6.1 million to 65.7 million by 2031.

So by 2308 our population will be 200million, lovely i'll start buying up all the land now shall I.

Such huge populations can't be sustained, theres simlpy going to be a lack of:
Jobs
Resources
Food
Living Space

And we're going to get lots of Pollution.
