This article, in comparison with the one which follows, really makes one ponder just what is happening with the English and sex, but it is not rocket science to figure out that there are too many people living on a tiny island! Overpopulation is, when all is said and done, about sustainability. Perhaps too late, questions about unchecked immigration, birth control use, teen pregnancy issues, the lot!

England is set to become the most crowded country in Europe as its population grows by a third over the next 50 years, according to official projections.
iThe population density now is about 1,010. In London, the figure could rise from 12,377 to 13,910 over the next two decades.
The Tories, who obtained the data from the Office for National Statistics, demanded restrictions on migration levels.
Shadow immigration minister Damian Green said: "This demonstrates the real pressure public services are being put under as a result of Labour's immigration policy."
London aside, the biggest population rises will be in the East and South West of England, up 16% by 2029, while the North East is expected to remain static.
Scotland's level will remain the same at 171 per square mile; Wales will have 15% more residents by 2056 and Nort
hern Ireland will have a fifth more.
