Ten point nine million people
10.9 million people, that is how many extra people will be living in the UK by 2025 according to the govts Institute of town planning spokeswoman on Sky News.
10.9 million needing houses, schools, hospitals, roads, water and sewage, power, food. The country will end up looking like Hong Kong because the costs of building all the new towns and infrastructure is still rising fast, So people will only be able to afford to live in ever smaller and desnly crowded properties, I can see tenements and souless blocks of flats becoming the in thing again.
The roads cant cope with more transport so the public transport systems will have to be expanded again at astronomical cost.
Naturally all these extra people and extra structures will mean eeven less quality living space and accordingly crime and anti social behaviour will rise.
Ten new gardens towns are needed plus huge expansion of the medium sized towns will also be required.
All those extra mouths, extra cars, extra power users in a nation dominated by burocracy and cost increases, all to be paid for up front by guess who ? YUP the ever decling number of tax payers.

RE: Ten point nine million people
People living in densely populated cities will have to have special loops implanted into the backs of their legs, to make them stackable and save space .
But seriously, this is absolutely terrible. Urban sprawl is going to keep spreading like some horrible concrete mould.
I get so angry when people say things like "How are we going to feed the worlds/ UKs growing population," when most people never consider the fact that we can't. Its almost taboo to mention it.
Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land! Isaiah 5:8

RE: Ten point nine million people
Thankfully my life will just about be over when this comes to be, but my poor children will suffer in this multi cultural, diverse, inclusive, socialist nightmare of orwellian proportions. The only glimmer on the horizon is that hopefully the 10 million will all settle in the south east where misery and dispair flourish.
