On the money Carly. We can't continue in the way we are now population wise on this small island. We have an horrendous housing crisis. Getting to see a doctor is very difficult. An appointment two weeks from now isn't any good if you are ill right now.
Yep, I rang for a doctor's appointment about 3 months ago and was told at the time, sorry we aren't giving out any appointments at the moment, you'll need to ring 111 or go to A&E (i.e. I couldn't see my doctor because they didn't have anything even weeks into the future.)
I had to register as a visiting patient at a surgery miles away and wait a while to get an appointment there.
It is getting ridiculous.
As for the roads, it is such a nightmare. I've spent time living in overseas countries which are not over-populated and when I've come back to the UK it is very noticeable to me how overcrowded we are, like rats in a cage all on top of one another. A lot of road rage because there are too many people on the roads and it makes people aggressive and tense.

Schools are struggling to cope, and hospitals also. We have a problem with health tourists, and also criminals going back and forth within the EU. We have to regain control of our laws and borders. The EU just don't care.
Neither do the UK government so if you expect brexit to fix that your barking up the wrong tree.

We get coffee from Jamaica. They can sell the UK coffee, and coconuts and all kinds of tropical foods and spices, and the same for the other islands. I'll bet that Gibraltar can provide some tropical items, too.
I don't happen to have any chicken in my refrigerator right now, nor am I in a grocery store.
I don't buy my chicken from the supermarket anyway. Everyone knows those chickens are not that good for you, for the most part inhumanely raised and not very tasty. What does it matter if they wash it in chlorine too, can't get much worse than they already are in terms of being bad for you and bad for the animals.
I order mine online from a farm where the chickens get to graze outside and don't get slaughtered before it's time.

Lol, Gibraltar grows nothing, I'm 10 miles away, they are solely dependant on online gaming companies and banks and a few tourist's, the landmass is totally built upon, you'll be lucky to find a hedgerow let alone a vegetable patch.

Are you telling me that there are no palm trees or banana trees either?

Lol, can't tell if you are serious or not?
