“Sensible control of immigration is not an issue of “racism”.” I agree with

Comment on BNP Immigration Policy by David.

“Sensible control of immigration is not an issue of “racism”.”

I agree with you, immigration control is not racism.

“This small country is the third most densely populated in the world.”

Where do you get this information from? Wouldn’t be directly from the BNP website which is filled with lie after lie on stuff like this???

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population_density we are the 51st most densely populated country out of 239 countries listed.

I have a healthy skepticism for Wikipedia articles, but even if it’s not 100% accurate, it’s not going to be WAY OFF to a degree of it should be 3rd when it’s 51st.

You and the BNP are wrong, we are not one of the most over crowded countries in the world, pretty average actually for a well developed country (more developed a country is, more people it can support).

According to the article the average world population on land (so not including water) is 118.453 people per square mile.

UK has 659.608 people per square mile.
Hong Kong has 16,442.905 people per square mile.
Singapore has 18,188.994 people per square mile.
Bangladesh has 2,917.751 people per square mile.

Bangladesh has a population of 162 million, so 100 million more than the UK and is twenty times more densely populated!

Taiwan has 1,656.139 people per square mile.

Taiwan has a population of 23 million, so about 1/3 the UK population and is over ten times more densely populated!

India has over a billion people with a density of 928.873 people per square mile.

Japan has double our population with a density of 873.422 people per square mile.

Was surprised to find China is less densely populated than the UK, 78th in the list with 360.736 people per square mile, but they do have a huge land mass for their 1.3 billion inhabitants. Apparently nearly 20% of the worlds population live in China, in comparison less than 1% live in the UK.

We are not in the top 10 of most populated countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population UK listed as 22nd.

We are however one of the most densely populated European countries. In comparison to countries like:

UK has 659.608 people per square mile.
Germany has 594.009 people per square mile.
Italy has 517.451 people per square mile.
France has 294.893 people per square mile.

We are generally not that different though (France being the exception), it’s just a little more.

Then there’s EU countries more densely populated:

Netherlands has 1,035.358 people per square mile.
Belgium has 918.604 people per square mile.

However you look at this the BNP argument that the UK is one of the most densely populated countries is WRONG or more commonly referred to as another BNP lie.
