'in One Generation, Europe Will Be Unrecognizable' ...

[Khandro]

Or so it is being said.
'Eastern Europe now has "the largest population loss in modern history", while Germany overtook Japan by having the world's lowest birth rate.
Europe, as it is aging, no longer renews its generations, and instead welcomes massive numbers of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, who are going to replace the native Europeans, and who are bringing cultures with radically different values about sex, science, political power, culture, economy and the relation between God and man.'

Do you find this alarming and do we actually need this population top-up?

Mikey,
They sound like Housing Assiciation Housing. Where the socially disadvantage (for whatever reason) are put. Therefore not representative of your town and not representative of the country as a whole. Most towns are a mixture with very many privately owned homes.

Near me is a half way hostel for crims. But I would not cite that as being the normal for our area. It is the exception.

NJ...in your last paragraph, at least, I think we are in agreement !

I have worked all my life and I am still working now, at age 63. I have no problem with my tax money going to the old, sick and disabled, but I am getting heartily fed up with these long-tern unemployed, that have never worked. The young mothers seem to be no better than baby machines and the young men simply sperm donors.

Gromit.......you are right. I live on a mixed estate, and most of the houses opposite are Council properties, except one of the retired, where they exercised their right-to-buy a few years ago.
