Wrong forum. Feck off with this Farage rubbish please
Great news for the Cardiff City Academy!
Probably deserves another thread, but this is an interesting article.

I'm a big Wikipedia geek and one consistent page they do is "demographics of X country", and within that they list births and deaths each year.
The figures in a lot of countries are staggering. Not uncommon for a third less births from before Covid, some countries getting on for half the births from the early 2000s.
What is striking is that whilst far from universal, it is happening across the west, so it's hard to pin it down.
As an example:
Spain. 322,000 births in 2023. 520,000 births in 2008.

Is there room in the World for another Farage?
1.12 children per woman will lead to a population collapse.Quote:

It's quite something, if you click through a few countries. It's hard to pin it on any single factor. Post financial crisis is when the pattern seemed to start though.Quote:

If it truly is the case that someone could abort a healthy baby a week before it's due date then that obviously is outrageous, but I can't believe that's what's happened?
Liar!!!Quote:

I think my view on abortion is that it typically shouldn't happen past when a foetus is potentially viable, if anything the law should have moved again towards that than in the way it has. Rather than have the debate and present their argument, they seem to have skirted around it.
'June 2023, Carla Foster was sentenced to 28 months in prison for terminating a pregnancy between 32 and 34 weeks. She had obtained pills supplied in good faith, after a remote consultation during lockdown.
A month later, her sentence was reduced to 14 months and suspended. Sitting at the court of appeal, Dame Victoria Sharp said Foster’s was “a case that calls for compassion, not punishment”'
So it sounds like she lied to a doctor, potentially put his livelihood in jeopardy and then aborted her baby between 32 and 34 weeks. At 32 weeks it's a baby, this is wrong.
As for the compassion argument, I get it but is the criminal justice system built around that?
Happy to be proved completely wrong but it doesn't really sit right with me.
