Dear oh dear, you appear to be allowing your hatred of Blair cloud your judgement.

Malta: 3,424 people/sq mi.
Netherlands: 1,046 people/sq mi.
Belgium: 919 people/sq mi.
UK: 660 people/sq mi.
Germany: 593 people/sq mi.

Your data is way off. Apologist New Labour data - anything to deflect attention from the truth.

The D.M. says England is second densest, after Malta.

The D.T. did say England was the densest in Europe after Malta, but now says we are third densest, after Malta and Holland.

It looks like we are neck-a-neck with Holland in density, unlike your data. And since the S.E. of England is the most crowded part of the nation, I think England owes it to itself and its people to free up some land by putting land-wasteful projects in the Thames Estuary.

Or would you rather just deport all the recent immigrants? is that your preferred strategy for freeing up land-space? Or would you prefer that England just starves to death instead?
