What sort of country do we want for our children. Think about this next time you are stuck in traffic or in an overcrowded city shopping center. If we Reduced the Population we could solve the Housing shortage, reduce crime, rising prison Populations, co2 emmisions, nhs and welfare overstretch. Land fill Problems, Our farmers would be able to feed us. What sort of country do you want to leave to your children. There are Too Many People.

A couple of the most appealing ideas in the piece were as follows: We could, for instance, drop the dual carriageway that currently blights the north side of the Thames into a tunnel below, replacing it with a four-mile long riverside park from Blackfriars to Battersea Bridge. Bypassing Parliament Square at the same time would allow it to be pedestrianised on two sides. Similarly a tunnel could take traffic from the Edgware Road under Hyde Park and the gardens of Buckingham Palace and allow it to emerge south of Victoria station, where most of it is heading in any event. The entire Hyde Park Corner interchange could be dropped below ground, and the three great parks of Central London could be united. You could walk from Parliament Square to Queensway, about three miles, without crossing a road. Park Lane would be freed up for redevelopment, and a grand new public square could be created at Marble Arch. Malthouse's ideas sound good to me. As usual though, the ASI was there first. As we said in our 1994 publication 20-20 Vision: There are many tunnels under London, and even Underground stations, obsolete for existing use. It should be one of our priorities to investigate how many of these tunnels could be restored and extended for use as urban tollways. They would offer motorists the opportunity to cross under London at various points, paying a toll to miss some of the surface congestion. Source: adam smith blog Great ideas for Boris:

I've read that a 10% boundary expansion in villages and small towns would be enough to soak up the surplus. What's wrong with that, on the understanding that population growth through you-know-what is strictly limited in future?

Oxford may well sustain its relative advantages and may only follow development plan to continue what it is best at - that is educating the world. I heartily appreciate the erudite at oxford, graciously putting behind the age of ignorance and arrogance in dignity. Traffic congestion and subsequent pollution damage to man and land is bringing loss to the measure that medieval atrocity could not overcome. Oxford is a world heritage and should be treated as such.

The contemporary belief that they despoil the planet helps justify your feelings, but the contempt would be there with or without it, I suspect." I am enlightened with your comments, Tayle s, and agree fully. I would only appreciate more the symbols of wealth, such as electricity and central heating if they work when we are in need of them - such as you need electricity when you wake up 4 am to study ! I also agree very much with Chris's suggestions !!! this is for cycling forum:
