Just look at how much world poverty has dropped in the last 40 years - all while the population has accelerated.

BUT - it also generates more GDP and with that you find more resources! Sheesh. Come on people. Resources are limited by the money it takes to get them out of the ground (or elsewhere) - not by their actual amounts. Economics 101. The 'amount' of all sorts of precious materials has gone...

He lives! OG you old groaner. We missed you.

Right. And population tends to level off when GDP hits a certain level - hence pretty much all developed countries are now levelled off. People tend to have more kids when they're poor. The most rapid acceleration of world population is over though - we're levelling off.

Nor do I - but v-(when I said michigan)-f-(I didn't mean all of michigan)-r buys pretty much any nonsense he reads - providing it means there is some vast secret underground plan involving shadowy dastardly players way more important than himself - then he's hooked. Just wait till his next post.

I like Boris. Always have. I know loads here don't. So be it - we had an election - and he won. Get over it comes to mind. Not that you're not entitled to your opinion Barry - but - you know - for the record and all that.

Small correction. There is no overpopulation problem. The population is levelling off anyway (current estimates say around 10b). More people tends to bring more innovation and more new technology and more new ways to solve problems - it's not just negative.

Another piece of fantasy from v-(when I said michigan)-f-(I didn't mean all of michigan)-r.

But you're not - you're being asked to choose between Pritti Patel and Alex Allen. I know who gets my vote.

Well - give the guy a break - he did preface it with "at the risk of being utter insensitive and crass.."

Love that woman. So she pisses some snowflakes off. So be it.

This guy explains the recounts very well. [possibly a friend of v-(when I said michigan)-f-(I didn't mean all of michigan)-r]

If you think that you really don't understand who Corbyn was/is.

Indeed. I've been reading 'Dangerous Hero' by Tom Bower all about Corbyn. We seriously dodged a bullet there - he would have been an unmitigated disaster for this country had he become PM.

Nigel I will take that as confirmation that you no longer think Trump will end up the winner of this election and are keeping that £20 in your pocket.

Right.

I use IG.

Enlighten me vfr. What the **** is that supposed to mean?

But Nigel says Trump is going to win and Biden is going to jail. Who would like to make a wager with me on that? Nigel? £20? If you lose I'll tell you my email and you can paypal it over. Ditto in reverse if you win.

Depends on the pundit surely. You're being one right now - should I disregard you? Me - I got lucky - bought a flat in London early 90s sold 2015. The thing went up stupid amounts. Pure luck. So be it I guess.
