David Cameron thinks the population is too low
"Gordon Brown cannot tell us if he thinks the population of the country is too low, too high, or just about right", Mr Cameron said.
What a bizarre criticism. I have no idea whether the population is too high, too low or just about right. It's not something, it seems to me, that anyone can really have a view on with any confidence. Too low/high for what? It's entirely to Gordon Brown's credit if he really doesn't have a view.
And the absurdity of the question is shown by asking what is David Cameron's view? Apparently he thinks that immigration should continue, albeit at a lower level. So he must think the population is "too low", if that's how he wants to frame it.
