Given that our decaying, aging population
Is causing this perilous rush of immigration,
Is cheapening the morning after pill abuse
By `incentivising inappropriate use`?

(Think! for every pill that proves efficacious
Space for immigration`s made more spacious!).

Harry - it's a fascinating aspect of life for future generations. Even emerging India is trying to equate its
recognition of advanced work practices with the need to
provide employment for its grotesquely "generating"
population. The West has long led the way in the
creation/invention of devices that make life easier and
this facility impacts on the "need" for human participation
in a widening range of work practices as time marches on.
The UK has its own place in fresh approaches to life
and leisure: the huge income from the entertainment
industry being one example of how an ability to forge and profit from new markets has always been a homebred
asset. Long may it remain so.

M.C.
Just drawing attention to the blindingly obvious reason for the presence of all these `aliens`

Hammond - at Davos - reckoned that what he called the fourth industrial revolution was going to mainly effect skilled workers (he jokingly hoped that he will have left the chancellorship before they had time to automate it.)...what is going to happen is the obsolescence of skills and the stagnation of real wages...wait till that hits us!...(we aint seen nuttin` yet)....There seems to be a growing distance between who is providing the robots, and who is
getting the economic profit from them.

Any generation of a population will die off in time - making
room for its own offspring. Today, the unstoppable
advances in mechanical and electronic devices designed
and intended to relieve humanity of onerous work will
also ensure more space and reduce cause for concern about perceived falling numbers of the said offspring.
Hardly a real need here in the long term for legions of
aliens looking to escape the responsibility of their own
lands and origins. The robot will reign supreme!
Brave New World indeed!

Well, I don't overly share your opinion but it certainly does put a different spin on things for me. ?
