Re: UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt
I don't agree in the slightest that it's easy for girls to get pregnant and leave easily on welfare - they don't get pregnant by themselves, welfare is not much to live on as a single person let alone with children and it's not free money - those (with the allowance of exceptions, but they are exceptions not the general) who have an 'easy life' that way usually have some other income as well, legal or otherwise.
You don't have to have large families to have over breeding - individuals and couples as small units can have 1 or few children but all those small units and lack of sustainability for those units adds up to over breeding just as people having lots of children does.
Easy access? I've been wanting to marry my partner for 6 years but he's a US citizen and I'm a UK citizen and it isn't 'easy' at all, not unless you want to get married without asking the authorities first and even then can be separated or putting th cart before th horse and having children in order to be allowed to be together rather than the other way round and what if you don't want children yet or at all? It's only 'easy' for those who know how to work the system, and that minority is given all the highlight and hence undue proportion in the perception of immigration.
