four pubs were going out of business in Britain every day.

Depressing.

[acoulterfan]

Out of desperation they are going to have to cling to religion and guns.

An eloquent warning about the consequences of centralized government services.

Are the commissars in Whitehall in charge of everything in every tiny town?

Look at the bright side, I’m sure you don’t have to go far to find a mosque...

"This means that in the past four years, the distance residents must travel to use everyday facilities has increased, due in large part to closures. Every neighbourhood in England was ranked by the Oxford team on a "multiple deprivation" index designed to represent social exclusion.

It's all part of the big plan by the Un tree huggers to remove man from the countrside and pack them into the main ant hill. The UK as a member country is signatory to these UN plans to reshape the world to their tree hugger visions- keeping terrible humans as concentrated as possible so they don't stink up the earth and step on bugs (which they call animals) in the countryside.

Looking at Britain is like looking into the future. Read it and weep.

[sheik yerbouty]

It appears that the UK is succumbing to socialism and virulent, metastatic, jihadosis..

[TheWasteLand]

So why is this happening? Is it due to dropping rural populations from migration to the cities and declining birth rates?

...new Whitehall rules are poised to withhold funding for hundreds of primary schools if they cannot fill their places.

This would suggest declining population has something to do with it.

British Government Motto:

Just pushing the 'Palace' back in Whitehall and you back 500 years.....

[ccmay]

This is all part of the plan of the elite that has sold Britain out. Yeoman farmers with shotguns and a pissy attitude about the Queen's shilling are rather hard for fuzzy-cheeked Oxbridge Trots in government ministries to control. So much easier to run the lives of unemployed TV watchers, living on the dole in concrete council estates, and cowering in fear of their fierce and numerous Muslim neighbors.

All Britain needs to regain its greatness is tar, feathers, pitchforks, torches, shotguns, ropes, lamp-posts, and the will to use them.

Contracepting and aborting their society to extinction.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I predict they will let more proponents of the Cult of Death in, to restore community life. Or should I say community death?

[redgolum]

Happening here too.

It is called “Demographic Winter.”
