In that case Finland and Sweden had better crank up their immigrant quota.<br>
And France for that matter - twice our area with the same population.<br>
<br>
Singapore may be stable; I have no desire for England to have Singapore's<br>
population density. That argument is just another example of "you want to<br>
control immigration, you must be a fascist and obviously hate anyone with a<br>
dark skin". (I'm not. I don't).<br>

I didn't make any judgement about you. I just made a judgement about the argument of "crowdedness" which is a void argument.<br><div class="im">

I also didn't say that high population density is better. High or low, it doesn't matter. Both is fine.<br>
<br>
(Well, there are limits, of course. China's one child policy is based on
factual arguments. But immigration to Europe is so low, that any
argument about European countries becoming too crowded can just be a
strawman argument.)<br>

population density. There's more to fit into a country than just its
people. English cities (and Scottish and Welsh ones for that matter)
are pretty much as densely inhabited as any others. I've got no real
problem with that. I don't believe that habitation should spread
endlessly and inexorably so that more and more people can be fitted in.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for the "populate or perish" idea, I was born into a world of
about 3 billion people and it wasn't that dreadful; I see little
evidence most of the additional 4 billion are particularly well off.</div>
