But that's nonsense. If you think class sizes are too big, it doesn't mean you hate children. If you think the roads are too busy, it doesn't mean you hate the people in cars.
That's my point. It's a perfectly reasonable belief to think that 700,000 a year, or indeed the post 2004 normally of 300,000 odd a year is far too high.
There is nothing wrong with thinking that, and plenty of evidence that it isn't really making society better.
