Britain is overcrowded

[hellobello]

The roads are jammed, the trains are full, the hospitals are collapsing under the weight of ill people, we want to build all over the place, there's barely enough water in the SE, our drains are on the verge of overflowing. We still insist on cramming in more people and breeding like rabbits. In this country, you get more benefits if you have more children. The world is full enough, isn't?

where are you in Kent, Fiofio?

ha ha, love the 'I think' (sounds like me)

hmmm, where is that, then?

no, but near border (near Sevenoaks bit)

"100 times as densely populated as Australia (2 people per sq.km)."

This statement is of no relevance - Most of Australia's land is inhospitable desert.

Ok so what are we going to do about it?

I think we are underdeveloped. We need to build more roads, rails, housing, etc. Most of our infrastructures dates back to Victorian times. It's no wonder we've outgrown it.

Agree our rail system is a joke. My cousin lives in the same county as me but to visit she has to get one train into London and another out again. Madness.

What is a joke is trying to force a powerful country to keep wearing most of its childhood clothes at an enormous cost to their new inhabitants...

HOw is the standard of living suposed to get better if we end up paying so many (and expensive) taxes when no the alternatives are some times vile? (i.e. how is people not expected to use the roads so much when trains/buses/etc are so expensive? obviously, people should be living nearer to their place of work but prices nearer to where they work are prohibitively expensive? We moved to a more central area to avoid using the cars so much, but now need to pay nearly £250 just to park them outside, and that without considering that we are already paying a quite high council tax) Sometimes I get the impression that the government is just trying to improve our lives by making them more difficult.

It'd be nice to have public transport. we get one bus, three times a week, leaving after the rush hour and returning at lunch time.
