More white skinned self-loathing. Their offspring and theirs won’t thank them. More the opposite. What on Earth is going on in their heads and Western Europe? Take away all of their privileges and they might stop behaving like children that think they know better, but cry kicking and stamping their feet. Absolute idiots. Talk about chuck it all away. Like a riches to rags story for half a continent on self chuck it all in destruction crusade. Glad I’ll be off in some way before I see them destroy it all because there was an empire they had no responsibility for before their grandparents were born. Fools. I hope they enjoy a real decline in living standards.

Wisbech you are dreaming of some kind of Utopia moving forward. If the world does reach 11 billion by 2100 and it is structured roughly the same as today then it will be a very different place.
Boil it down to your own home. IF for instance you live in a house with 3 other people, imagine the difference if there are 6 other people. Cramped right??

That won't be the way it is at all. There is still heaps of room to build homes for people all over the planet. Especially if we go up. It just requires imagination, planning and determination. Room is not the real problem. It's ensuring there is enough food and water to satisfy our needs and this is where science and technology will provide the answers. More efficient use of both land and water resources combined with increased crop yield and the harvesting of alternative food sources will see us safe and happy.

That will be the world with 11 billion. My view is that numbers will drop in the second half of this century when nature will intervene to significantly reduce the numbers of mankind who by then will have done enough to seriously upset nature in its capacity as current main tenant of this planet.

Ever since mankind stopped being a hunter gatherer we have been managing nature and this just requires more management.

There are various possibilities of reduction one of which will almost certainly cull huge numbers of mankind. War, virus or just natural disaster or something else that none of us have even considered.

Avoiding war or famine will be the biggest challenge and that involves ensuring that no region is put under such intense pressure that these disasters can occur. Natural disasters will always be a fact of life on earth and cannot, yet anyway, be anticipated.

The world is heading for many changes in the not too distant future (say half a century) in my view.

Many changes, for sure. Changes we can cope with, for sure too. Unless the mood being expressed by some here is allowed to prevail.

Someone here says that the demographics of Cornwall are 95.7% white and as a consequence all immigrants should be sent there! Presumably as some kind of punishment.

What does that tell us?

Is what lies behind this really an aversion to all immigration?

Or is it an aversion to immigration by "non whites"?

The Cornish will tell you that there have been huge numbers of immigrants to Cornwall. Almost all white and from England, a few from Wales and even a few from Scotland. The demographics don't record such things though but the Cornish believe their country (and they do regard it as a country) has been invaded, although not very seriously. There are also huge numbers of seasonal workers, both in tourism and agriculture, mostly from southern and eastern Europe.

So is it OK for immigrants to the UK as a whole to arrive from "white" northern Europe but not from southern Europe because they aren't "pure" white?

Is it OK for immigrants to arrive from eastern Europe, if they are Christian and have "white" skins?

Is it not OK for immigrants to arrive from eastern Europe if they are Muslim but have "whitish" skins?

Is it OK for immigrants to arrive from Commonwealth countries, providing they aren't Muslim and have "white" skins?

I never suggested that one was the consequence of the other. Are you paying attention?

Maybe you should address the last to yourself!

The reduction of living standards will occur through numbers. The world struggles to feed itself now and the only way to address that is to share resources more equally particularly when world food and water production and supply is at maximum.

As I have now pointed out several times that is simply untrue. There is already more than enough food to feed the world. The problem is not the quantity, it's the distribution. The west consumes far more than it needs and wastes even more. World food and water production is no-where near it's maximum either. There are many things we can do to increase yields, through the use of GM for instance, bring arid lands into fertile production through the development of drought resistant crops and harvest new sources for food. Finding sufficient water is a challenge but more efficiency combined with increased desalination will provide the answers. Never underestimate the capacity of science and technology to find the answers.

That has to mean a reduction of living standards in the West.

It absolutely does not. It might mean changes in some things but constant change is a fact of life we need to begin to accept.

The race issue is about whether you are happy or indifferent about your genetic lineage being absorbed or if you think it is worth preserving. That is for the individual to decide. Many cultures wish to preserve their genetic heritage by not marrying into other cultures or races. it is not uncommon.

So long as that's a personal choice, and not public policy, then that's up to you. My own view is that as everyone's genes have always been mixed those who get concerned about it really ought to find more important things to worry about.

Why should Europeans be any less protective if they choose to be?

The question is, who are these Europeans? Those you approve of, or all of them?
