How is "diversity of population" automatically a good thing? Pirates from Somalia, mafia from Italy, wannabe ISIL, ... that's diverse. I find these lefty statements clumsy. As it happens, I do vote UKIP, which you'll love and jump at, but I do it for no reason other than to stop the population increasing, because London is quite simply completely and utterly failing, and unable, to deal with it. Last I saw 15 000 properties being built p/a; and population growth: "London had the highest growth, with population in the capital up 1.45%, a result of 82,400 more births than deaths and the highest net international migration of all regions at 107,400."[0] Enough building? Schools can't cope, ambulances can't cope, police can't cope, hospitals can't cope, the tube is a disgrace, housing is out of control and worsening, and as mentioned the air quality is unacceptable. The quality of life is poor, and deteriorating. Quality of life is important, unless you're the frog in a pot, and only realise its effects too late. London, quite simply, is broken.

- lotsofcows 11y agoStop the population increasing? You are aware that our entire economic system is built on the assumption it'll keep increasing? The reason people think racists are idiots is because racists are idiots. "no other reason than to stop the population increasing"! Ha!

- dubeye 11y agoThis is a joke right? Positive population growth = broken?Millions of people live in London despite these negative factors, so only parts of it are broken, other parts are so attractive as to draw in vast numbers in spite of the problems you list. So it's not 'simply' broken, there are parts of it that are clearly working .
