We aren’t actually that high up the population density ratings though

Well, a lot of the UK is still green space and Wales and Scotland aren't densely populated. Scotland has 5 million people.

A main problem is while our population rises our infrastructure doesn't improve with it. You only need to look at the housing crisis and the pressure on the NHS/public transport etc, yet it's risen by over 10 million in 50 years, or nearly 30 million in 100 years. In Between the 30's and the 70's we built the infrastructure more as the population grow.

I think it's right that we want to protect our greenery, but there's a trade off in that population controlled is required.

Priti patel Is hated by the left doesn't fall into their racist trope that non white people can't be Tories.

Sunak, Zahawi, Javid aren't really hated though, are they? No more than any other Tory anyway.

Patel isn't a very nice person, to be polite about it.

Well, yes, she is a hypocrite, a vile hypocrite. Have you only now noticed? Thats what she was elected for, her impressive character. Awful person.

What am I missing here? I don’t see the issue

What am I missing here? I don’t see the issue

I don't either, she is elected by and paid for by the British people of course she will be celebrating with England, why wouldn't she and she English!! Don't get this

Hasn't she just put a bill through that will criminalise RNLI workers for saving asylum seekers should they be drowning in the sea?

No, she hasn't:

It has nothing to do with her nationality and everything to do with her views on whether the England team should and could be booed! You can't both accept insults thrown at them and celebrate their successes. It doesn't work like that!

Ever since she was let off for bullying during, of all things anti-bullying week, it's impossible to take her seriously in any way.

@Whoarethewho

You want a falling pop. and less greenbelt building and support PP/Govt immigration policies to achieve this?

If so, why do you support (up to) 3m HK coming to the UK, no questions asked on skills etc, where do you imagine they will live?

Interesting how several of the people posting in support of PP and being vehemently right wing all seem to have the EXACT same writing style. I thought it was the same person until I checked the user name.

Ha! Heechul many people, one mind. Sad buggers.

I like her, she's doing a good job as Home Secretary - she could even be the next Prime Minister when Boris Johnson resigns.

This will no doubt send all you woke left wingers into a froth but it's true

It’s not making me froth, cry more like. If she became PM I’d swallow the reds. Fortunately it’s highly unlikely, Sunak’s the heir apparent.

Am I the only one cringing myself into knots everyone the word ‘woke’ is used. It’s really like when one of my DC discovers a new favourite word and has to squeeze it in to everything no matter what.

Are they not allowed to use ‘snowflake’ or ‘PC gone mad’ anymore?

They don’t even know what it means. You’re right, they’re like kids.

Interestingly I know quite a few people who vote Tory. To a person, they all still hate PP. They will continue to vote for them despite PP. So I’m not sure the polls tell us much about what people actually think about PP.

She’s a vile bully too
Awful person

@Blossomtoes

I bet you’d murder Gujarati in half the time. English isn’t obviously her first language

She was born in London so I don’t think you can make that one fly.

Doesnt matter much if you speak a different language at home.

@adawong

Do you momentum bods get paid overtime?

That's a cheap shot, well done you.

I have mostly voted Conservative in the past and couldn't agree more with the other people on here. She's on my list of politicians that make me reach for the off switch. Vile woman.

Priti is a hypocrite, but then what's new? I bet loads of people who were attacking the England team for being 'woke' and having too many black players have decide they love England after all now. Of course, this is the same woman who attacked them for taking the knee and encouraged fans to boo them, but like any glory hunter, she's jumped on the bandwagon. It's pathetic and transparent. All these Tory politicians deciding they're massive football fans after all when normally they couldn't give a fuck and/or are outright contemptuous. Remember what Johnson said about Hillsborough and the city of Liverpool in general.

And no, I'm not Momentum. I always hated Corbyn, although I still voted for him because he was the lesser of two evils.

Doesnt matter much if you speak a different language at home

She’s bilingual - her parents speak enough English to set up a chain of shops and she has bachelors and masters degrees. That God awful accent is a complete affectation and nothing to do with English not being her first language - although I suspect it is anyway.

And no, @Whoarethewho, I don't hate her because she's Asian, I hate her because of her politics. If she was white and called Polly Pocket I'd still hate her.

@Crankley

I like her, she's doing a good job as Home Secretary - she could even be the next Prime Minister when Boris Johnson resigns.

This will no doubt send all you woke left wingers into a froth but it's true

You Mumsnet Tories are so very predictable.

Let me guess, you booed when England took the knee.

This is true though though rarely pointed out. It's amazing how much of England is empty. Since the peasantry was decanted into the cities by the Enclosure Acts of the 17th and 18th centuries. Ultimately to feed the 'dark Satanic mills'.

@Blossomtoes

It’s amazing how all the accusations of racism and misogyny come flying out when anyone criticises Patel, while any level of insult is fine when it’s Diane Abbott. How anyone can defend a politician who believes in the death penalty is beyond me.

Might have something to do with the fact that Abbott is left-wing and black.
