Out of interest do you hold the people of Germany today responsible for the atrocities of Nazi Germany?

Seems a shame that we can’t fill those white bits

There’s always a few elusive stickers you just could never find for your sticker book!

That’s right, be the most invadingist country of all time! 
 

Then we could keep it, a bit like Brazil keeping the Jules Rimet trophy in 1970.

I suppose seeing as you've emigrated you have to be a bit pro free movement  of people - my mum has been in France for 30 years, can't have a rant to her about immigration, at least can't get her to see we are crowding them in like sardines now. 

Your map was taken in the good old days of the world - where land was plentiful. It's hard to imagine the world population was only about a quarter of what it is today after World War 1.

I say the British were guilty of crimes against humanity in the expansionist phase - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight to keep our Island from being overcrowded now - there is no room for compassion when we are destroying so much of our countryside to make way for new housing. 

You want to go build enough houses to keep all these new people? Absolute crying shame what's happening to our once beautiful land

Net migration to the UK, the difference between immigration and emigration, was estimated to be 258,000 in 2018. This is down from a peak of 336,000 in the year ending June 2016, just before the EU referendum

 

each year another quarter of a million come over the picture above spreads out across our beautiful land like a cancer

The thing is the young men come over, get their foot in the door then bring their family and extended family over at a later date. 

It is a fact, fancy admitting that as a lefty!

And the tribalism, misogyny and intolerant thinking that caused the failure of their own societies in the first place and all the subsequent misery they're supposedly trying to escape from. 

If they were so enterprising and resourceful they'd fix the mess they've left behind.

What proportion of Britain do you reckon is built on? By that I mean covered by buildings, roads, car parks, railways, paths...
