Lies about a British 'baby boom'.

I was unfortunate enough to watch the reliable totally fact-based TV news last night, and I was greeted by an alarmist report about Britain's massively expanding population. There are now over 61 million people in Britain - scary!
This supposed 'baby boom' is, of course, not supported by the numbers.

Immigrants in Britain have been the primary reason for our sustained population growth over recent years. But this year, birth/death ratios have been at an unusual high thanks to more births.

So, what is our collective fertility rate, remembering that a rate of 2 means a stable population in the long term?


1.96

Even in this year of supposed 'baby boom', we haven't had enough kids to stabilise our population for the future. And it gets worse:

Immigrant fertility rate = 2.51

Take the immigrants out of the equation, and our fertility rate in this 'baby boom' year is only 1.84.

Do we want to end up like Russia, which has such apallingly low fertility rates that the state PAYS people to have children? Where there are more abortions than live births? Which has a population that has fallen by six million in 15 years?

And the establishment still tells us big families are bad for the planet and unacceptable? It's a lack of big families that is herding this country towards a demographic crisis! Who's going to support the ageing population, especially when the REAL baby-boomers of the 50s/60s start to retire?

So in short, the world's not overpopulated, in fact Western civilisation is threatened by its inability to reproduce effectively. For now, the world population is rising because the third world is following the same demographic trends we did during the Industrial Revolution and the early 20th Century. But just looking at Europe and North America, we need more kids, not less.

Save the Earth - Start a Family (the fact that this is an un-PC statement, is indicative of the anti-human times we live in!)
