Those Cambridge people depend on immigration to pay their fees. They're hardly unbiased. Do you really seriously think that an increasing population could ever lead to falling demand for housing? How would that one work? The charts in

The numbers are clear and obvious to those who seek them with a clear head. More people = more demand for housing = higher prices.

Building more and more housing isn't sustainable. We are a tiny island with limited land. A lot of people (Myself included) don't like to live in cities caged up like battery chickens.

The key here is demand - with open door immigration from Europe, that demand is ever increasing. People are flocking to the UK, and want somewhere to live. As long as we have that massive population explosion, there's only one way for

No one voted for the Maastricht treaty. It was steamrolled through shrouded in secrecy. Some people? Some people want to convert into a federal USE? It's there in black and white. Crystal clear. "Ever closer union". You can o

I have looked at feminism. It's not about equality, and not something I think of as a good thing. It's about closing down mens clubs and opening up women only clubs. It's hypocritical at its core. People who have never done a

And the reason there are less women programmers, is because less women want to be programmers. Just as less men want to become fashion designers. There is nothing to "solve" here. Let people do what they want to do.

You don't beat sexism by creating a sexist organisation. It's amazing how people think that there are all these barriers to programming for certain groups of people which must be overcome. There aren't. Sit down, grab a compu
