UK population must fall to 30m for sustainable society
Quote:
JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.
Porritt’s call will come at this week’s annual conference of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron.
The trust will release research suggesting UK population must be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably.
Porritt said: “Population growth, plus economic growth, is putting the world under terrible pressure.
“Each person in Britain has far more impact on the environment than those in developing countries so cutting our population is one way to reduce that impact.”

So, who decides which people to kill off?
60 million people in the UK. So we have to kill off 30mil. Mass genocide?

Zombie infestation. It really is the best way to thin out the population. Movies have taught us that UK is perfect for that. Nicely isolated from the rest of the world.

Get rid of the ones with bad teeth first. That'll cull the herd pretty fast.

Just count every other person. Problem solved!
Plan B is harder--it involves soccer riots, toad-in-the-hole and the Danish.

Doesn't mad cow disease take awhile to manifest? I think it should start to kick in soon.

Well the most beneficial thing would be keeping the smartest. The best way to test this, I've always figured, would be to stand everybody in a line. Yell "duck". Then take a machine gun and shoot across at about eye-level. Those who were too dumb to duck are eliminated. Problem solved.

Hmm, I say we start with the extremists who live off the state all the while spreading hate and calling for the destruction of England.
Probably a good start.

They could bring a terminator back from the future with a phone book
Terminator - "Mr Andrew Anderson?"
AA - "Why yes pip pip how can I help you"
Gets shot in the face
Terminator - "Mrs Anne Anderson?"
AA#2 - "Why yes, your a rather fetching bloke aren't you now?"
Shots her in the booby

Force everyone to answer "The Liar's Paradox" or something similar.
Anyone who conclusively answers will then be shot.

Are you talking about the peak oil predicted in the 70's that was supposed to wipe out the modern world, the one they have predicted in the next few years.. or the next brilliant prediction that will inevitably come along in the next few decades?
Peak oil is a glass half empty prediction, we are human we always find ways to adapt.
