Britain will see its population swell from today's 62.2 million to 77 million, an increase of 24 per cent.
This will make it bigger than France, projected to be 70 million and Germany, which is predicted to have 71.5 million citizens.

We will get more MEP's as a result. That will mean even more UKIP MEP's. :roll:

Easiest way? Leave the EU then all the EU citizens will have to leave, including all the polish plumbers.

We'd also lose our largest trading partner. It doesn't pay not to be in the EU. If we leave and join the EEA or the EFTA (like Norway, Switzerland etc) then we are still subject to all the laws and regulations, but we no longer have a say in their creation.

I was joking. It would be the easiest way but it would also impact on us badly as a trading nation. So in reality is a complete non starter.

Germany is shrinking - and aging.

They've had big promotions to get families to have more children - including paying fathers their full salary for a year, after the birth of the child, so they can stay home and look after them.

Frankly, anyone whose seen us play international football. The women are in fact the exception rather than the rule. Hope Powell should be given Capello's job when he retires in two years. Or at least, a whopping chunk of the salary of whoever the next one is. Plus I didn't know Kelly Smith doesn't have a club right now. That's scandalous.

Wait, teams are scored for how well they play as well as the goals they score?

;)

If you don't play well, you don't tend to score many goals. Mind you, it helps if the officials spot the ones you do score :x.

Don't be too hard on the officials. They did spot one of our goals, and all of the German goals! ;)
