I agree with you there, but it’s one thing to attract millions more people to cramp together in New York, the cultural and financial capital of the planet. Persuading them to move to a windowless studio in Milton Keynes may be a tougher pitch…
You have a financial interest in land acquisition don’t you?
I don't think it's possible to say London's underpopulated, think schmmeee's data samples are lacking something, not sure what, no disrespect intended there.You assume wrong - I just mean that Manhattan’s population density is deeply unusual for a major western city, and is the product of urban planning, economic and cultural factors that can’t be replicated in central London, which is thousands of years old. And having lived in both places, central London is a much more pleasant place to live. I’m not being a NIMBY saying that - let a thousand blossoms bloom etc - but we’re not about to turn Westminster into the Lower East Side and we shouldn’t pretend we can either.
They do assume the alernative is better. I'd rather live in Birmingham than Singapore!I don't think it's possible to say London's underpopulated, think schmmeee's data samples are lacking something, not sure what, no disrespect intended there.

We haven't, we've established I hate the type of city you want to turn Birmingham into!But we’ve just established you hate cities!

Well for a start the infrastructure to support the like, I mean the red wall and all that?What is your actual issue?
Well you were the one who said your concern was culture! But it sounds like your concerns are more socio-economic?It’s not just about culture. It’s about the number of people that are likely to emigrate. Most Kuwaitis and Arabs emigrant between the countries, not to the UK. If we opened up to Ukraine we’d have the same issues we had in the early 2000s.

That’s quite a value judgment there! Does someone requiring community support mean they don’t/can’t integrate into that new community?It’s about the same. But you’re conflating two things here.
1) Which countries would you have open borders with? I’d choose ones of a similar economic status as that means large amounts of poorly educated people are unlikely to want to move here and reduce living standards and rely on community support, harming integration.
2) Rate of immigration making integration into our culture hard and needing to somehow manage that.
1.3% of the land used for residential in England, 56m peopleOur population per square km is 277 according to wiki. Netherlands: 424, South Korea: 516, Singapore: 8,250.
Loads of room to grow
What happened to that total, sure we were looking at signifantly more about 10 yrs back or am I just overloaded on stats.1.3% of the land used for residential in England, 56m people

National Parks etc,unfit for building etc.
Can't do it cos of electric cars?But equally whacking great flat car parks near stations could be ten stories higher.

Just found another one projecting into the future a little, don't know what the futures looking at but I suppose I should relax.A style of presentation we're getting used to.

A heartbreaking story - time to abolish OFSTED and replace with a new system that see HMI’s assigned to schools to drive improvement through collaboration, not narrow minded inspection protocol….
Or the Europeans who we've moved away from.I’m just trying to understand why countries with high GDP per capita - a table typically topped by Middle East petrostates and gambling dens - are considered to be more culturally similar to us than, say, much poorer Commonwealth states who have used our language and legal system for more than a century.

I’m the article?Those inspectors should be charged with manslaughter. The callousness in that Ofsted statement. Pure evil.
Such a sad story. I think Ofsted grading should be abolished. Similar to the CQC it came from the idea that people using services are liable to behave like consumers. Waste of money which would be better spent elsewhere.I.N.A.D.E.Q.U.A.T.E - Ruth Perry’s despair in handwritten notes

The one from Amanda Spelman shows little introspection.I’m the article?
Well putting in a footnote that the Head took her life so there was ‘new leadership’ is a pretty cold way to sidestep that being a bunch of petty jobsworths led someone to commit suicide. Of course nobody at Ofsted is going to lose their job over it in the way this Head might have done.I’m the article?
