I was certainly asked to clarify my wishes for the files when I last was in there.

As usual you allocate everything that happens to immigration. Increased numbers certainly account for a small part of the increasing demand, but by no means not all. Look where it features in this:- It's the per capita increase which accounts for most of it! Just imagine that we had done what you want and stopped all immigration. Which would be impossible anyway, but let's suppose. Would our health service still be operating? Maybe with a lack of plumbers we would be leaking water everywhere and using even more water!!!!

(Did she have sympathy for it?) Daily medication has been around since penicillin saving lives and this would include insulin, heart drugs etc. Advancements in medication is there to be used as we can operate quite normally with them.

since 1946 the Tories have dominated Westminster by promising to control immigration. Lo and behold their promises.....anywhere in England today.

Mass immigration is self defeating policy. There are plenty who are already experiencing the impact. The more people you import, the more people you need to service them. Our infrastructure is finite. Can you see the problem yet? Of course you can't. You live in an idealistic fantasy.

It's not worth explaining the simplest stuff to some people Let's just say weather is changing, we'll get torrential rain at some points of the year and prolonged dry at others. Unless you have an enormous water store at the bottom of your garden capable of providing you with several months of water, be worried.

Unless you have an enormous water store at the bottom of your garden capable of providing you with several months of water, be worried. Please do. What is most bonkers is ignoring rapidly increasing population in a conversation about water shortages.

Our infrastructure is finite. Can you see the problem yet? Of course you can't. You live in an idealistic fantasy. We don't have mass immigration. We have necessary immigration and illegal immigration. Necessary immigration fills the holes that the indigenous population cannot service. Illegal immigration needs to be better controlled. The infrastructure falls apart unless it is serviced. Can you see the reasons yet? Of course, you can't. You live in a white supremacist fantasy.

There is no reason to doubt the pro rata calculations and dismiss them like that, just because they don't suit a narrative. I think it's pretty obvious that we are all using more water these days, given our lifestyles. As a kid I had a weekly bath. As a samll kid, using the same water as my sister. These days I shower daily, often twice daily. For sure we are living longer, so there are more of us now. A declining birth rate is a primary reason for the need to allow controlled immigration, so that the work force can be sustained. If we managed, in some way, to increase the birthrate, so we didn't need immigration then the water use would still increase. The only way to impact it would be to ensure people didn't live longer. I cannot see that being a vote winner!
