Liddle Britain
Our overpopulation is a catastrophe
12 August 2006
There are queues everywhere in Britain, says Rod Liddle. The country has long since reached saturation point and it’s time for the government to admit that we have a problem
There were two stories in our morning newspapers this week which seemed at first sight unrelated. The first was a report from the Local Government Association warning the government that council tax charges might need to rise by as much as 6 per cent because the number of immigrants to the UK had hitherto not been properly accounted for. Immigrants placed a new and costly burden on local councils and there were many more of them than had previously been imagined.
The other story was an announcement from the transport minister, Stephen Ladyman, that the government intended to overhaul road speed limits and, in most cases, impose rather stricter limits.
