Does the UK have the space to take in all of the world's poor people?

Angel

No,

There are far larger countries with less people in than the UK,
Everyone want s to come here because it's the Land of Milk &Honey,

Australia= 30 Million
Canada= 30 Million
UK= 60 Million

Oh I could write about this for Hours...but i wont.

You can see it, I can see it, 6.700million others can see it, but the government can't!

We are such a small island and should no way be accepting even half of the immigrants that have come here. There are other countries to go to but the alll come here...why?...hmm something tells me it might be the fact that they get treated like kings!...even better than the rest of us that were born here!

In 30 years time, The British will be the minority and it is absolutely ridiculous, that the governemt has no heart to look after the grandchildren and children of the people who made this country great in the first place.

...I could go on.....

The answer is no,how many of the thousands of immigrants who flock to the UK actually work, I've driven through 3 West Yorkshire towns today namely Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield and there's dozens and dozens of them just hanging around street corners doing absolutely nothing but smoke and talk,why on earth should the British taxpayer pay them for doing nothing.
My brother went to live in Canada and was told he had to have enough money to provide for him and his family and a job to go to,the same should apply here in the UK.
Tell you what lets take all the expenses and perks away from the MPs and use it to pay for the immigrants wonder how long they would be here then ?

bud

No we haven`t if we carry on taking these people in we will sink, we are a small island not a full world!

charity starts at home so...no

Spongmonkeys

Definitely not! - they would effectively be poorer if they came here - due to the higher cost of living.
They would be better off working to build up their own country where they are now.

Nobody

Same with the United States.
Do you really think we have the money or the resources to help everyone out, as we obviously keep doing.

The Labour government has demolished this country into a weak demoralised wreck. WE.....the people who have had our ancestors live here are being pushed out of our own home. My daughter is thinking of moving abroad. so are some other people i know. The immigrants especially the radical ones are getting what they started out to do.
We are like lemmings. but we're not leaping off cliffs ourselves, the govnt are pushing us off.

I am so frustrated about what is going on it makes me livid. I can understand exactly how Elcomand feels. We need to stand up and be counted....show Gogs Brown what we are made of. I'm ashamed to admit that man is Scottish.

Of course we can't but the Government will allow this mess to continue until they have no choice but to act.

This debate reminds me of how the life boats from the titanic pushed away drowning survivors to stop the boat from sinking and drowning all

Sorry no more room!

No. It would be lovely if we could bring everybody in - but the UK is only an island. It's already experiencing water shortages in some areas - to the extent that they have started talking about installing meters in all households to limit the amount people can use. They are also running out of space to build new affordable housing in the areas where it is needed most - in the cities where all the jobs are. I can't see them being able to cope much longer with the amount of people who keep coming in.

The waiting lists for treatment on the NHS already feels like it has gone sky high. I read that in some hospitals pregnant women in labour are getting turned away from their local maternity units because they are already full. If it's already like this now I dread to think what it's going to be like ten years from now. I think we might all be moving abroad soon. :-/

cheeky chappie

.and in years to come..when the Uk is finally exhausted and in real trouble............the government will then spend buckets of cash trying to convince people to return to their native country.

Yet we will be left here to pick up the pieces.

There will always be an England

The prolific birth rate of these poor immigrants is shocking, they churn out babies like peas whereas British man and woman cannot afford more than 1 or 2, when this government stops dishing out OUR cash helping and aiding these thieves maybe we can get some sense of our nationality back.....in 30 years they will out number us!!! god help us all

Johnny_Taxpayer

No and I can't afford to support them all either.
