Yeeep! Well, no, lol, but it's hardly a controversial statement. It is easily possible. Would it be good? Probably not. Definitely not. But the point was just to demonstrate how ridiculous it is to argue that the UK's population density is in any way relevant when it comes to taking in a few thousand or tens of thousands of refugees. There's room for them. EASILY.

No, you're quite right. The world's 7bn people can easily fit in England. And at the same population density we can stick 250,000 refugees on Lundy. Refugee crisis over. Good job.

That's over 30000 people per square mile. And the stupidest thing I've read all day.

This population density talk is irrelevant. It's really more to do with lack of housing and how many people the local infrastructure can realistically support.

I'm happy he's had the balls to say only refugees the UK will take are the ones in camps and not ones safe in Europe.
