Could listen to Susie all day

Surely an ageing population is just a case of looking after the elderly, instead of babies and their mothers?

A child is two dependents: the child himself and the adult who must care for and educate him. In the 1970s women stopped having children and became worker/taxpayers themselves. That was a massive increase in the proportion of our population in the workforce. In the 1950s and 60s, my father supported five people as well as himself. A ratio of 1 worker/taxpayer : 5 dependents. A 1:5 ratio. So a 1:1 ratio seems generous. Mr Morland mentioned a ratio of workers to the retired. That is not honest. Adults support other people besides the retired. Workers support babies and their mothers and the unemployed as well.

As bright young things, we used to say "get some couth" or "he needs a couth transplant". We also said "get some deckrum" meing DECORUM but we pronounced it 'DECK RUM'

Royalty is wrong. No debate has gone against this.

Young British and Americans are so naive, those girls from the Biology course are the example. Such a waste of funds if they cannot even use google to overcome the mantras of the left media.

Birth rates will continue going down. It’s not faith, or the lack of it. It’s not money, or the lack of it. It’s time, or the lack of it. What is time made of? It's made up of 4 elements when there's room for only 3 of them, unless you want to be heading towards fundamental dissatisfaction due to a lack of time - a dissatisfaction that can lead to burn-out and the destruction of a personality. The 4 elements are: 1) Sleep. 2) Work. 3) Family (children). 4) ‘Leisure’ (screens, reading, love, friendships, solitude, playing a musical instrument, personal development, etc.) Can you do without sleep? Obviously not. Cutting back on sleep is bad for your health. Very. Can you do without work? Yes, if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. In other words: no, you can't. That leaves only two adjustment variables. If you are reasonable, you do what the watchdogs of reasonable living keep telling you: when you reach ‘adulthood’, you behave like an adult and drastically reduce the amount of time you devote to ‘leisure’, particularly screen time. But here's the snag: living an adult life, a reasonable life, is the best way to miss out on life. This has become impossible to hide.

Talking about cost of living and comparing wealthy countries to poorer countries misses a big part. There are local laws and local cultural expectations plays a big part in relative wealth and poverty, and perception of wealth. I can't build a make shift house on public land without repercussions. People need to feel like they can support themselves before they feel like they can support a family in the current environment.

All these demographers talk about is birth rates. What about death rates? The global health system is on the verge of being overwhelmed by the METABOLIC SYNDROME epidemic caused by the processed food industry and aided and abetted by Big Pharma. On top of this the mother of all energy crises is coming which will cause famines and the destruction of the economic system, as forecast more than fifty years ago by the Club of Rome.

The pro-natal narrative falls apart - how are we only discussing “government actions” when the private sector doesn’t care? Example from rich Norway (caveats): Median income ≈£50k, house/appartment ≈ 6-9 x median income. Bank allows ≈80% mortgage, but reduces allowance by £100k PER CHILD…? You’re 30 with just one child, and you can not borrow the amount needed to enter the housing market. Rentals are too expensive, too small, don’t want “noisy children” and quite unavailable in rural areas. If a government subsidises this, the financial markets profits - not people in general. Giving further inflation in housing, not towards affordability from income…?

He's ignoring the effects our massive footprint is having on everybody and everything. A shrinking population will cause problems but they will be less than what we face from overpopulation.

Technology will not solve overshoot.

She seems to be a very agreeable person - very unlike another Lady with capital C in her name....

17 and sent off as a travelling sales person and traveling to the US. What was her Mother thinking?! And then her husband takes her to a brothel. How absolutely horrible. What was he thinking?! They are all very weird. But she is wonderful. How she managed to keep her sense of humour I can’t imagine.

👏👏👏👏👏👏😂A goooorgeous Lady ! If you know Margaret so much, I'm sure you know Sandy Harper, too ! 😀 My uncle was his best Argentinian friend and I was their groom at Cowdray Park when I was young. Lots of love, Mariano Scotti Olivos, Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧

The role of modern medecin ? Should medicine work toward mortality ?

This is the best one ive seen. The host allowing Lady A to talk freely ❤❤❤Absolutely amazing woman ❤

A real snob but a lovable one. She is so entertaining and lovely. A joy to watch!

It is entirely possible for the world to be overpopulated, and have a low TFR. We are currently in the first stage of a correction from overshoot. It will take decades or even centuries to correct. The more hopeful scenarios take longer, but still require a long period of correction to a lower population. If we don’t do it voluntarily, it’ll happen to us.

Having babies does not resolve the issue of a small Gen Z trying to support a Huge retired Baby Boom generation.

I hate it when presenters talk about babies as labor, as in, “if you’re not to going to do your part to produce that labor…”

A shrinking, aging population does not have to solve the climate crisis. It solves itself in that scenario.

Curious that there's no mention of China and the dark future that is already at hand. China is not at all like Japan because they have grown old before they got rich. It's too ate for them, they cannot fix their problems. Export economies like China will suffer massively because they cannot consume their output and they won't be able to export either because the rest of the planet won't have enough consumers either.

I want some of what Morland is smoking. Back to back conflicts in logic and double think.

Regarding Humans depopulating to extinction, I am more than dubious. Humans are opportunistic, adaptable creatures. Eventually, depopulation will lead to changing economic situations, chaos but then to new opportunities that will inspire population growth.

Completely out of date. Epigenetics and the robots change everything,

I had the absolute pleasure to spend an hour in Sir Marks company, some 20 years ago .One of the few gifted people who can interact with ease, with either a Prince or a pauper. Though i think he would rather prefer, purely for financial reasons, a call from a Prince to train a horse, than from the later! . One tip if you ever have the opportunity to meet him, don't be late!!.

She seems to have drunk the American Cooley , simply repeating the scare stories , not a character I find at all appealing ! Why do people assume an artistic talent comes with being a someone special , I find so many artists ego driven !

Heffer is a very good writer. I have enjoyed hundreds of his pages. I don't always finish every long history that I start reading, but I know that I am always in good hands with Heffer!

I'm in absolute shock the WuMao and bots aren't all over this video. Cheers

In the 50s and 60s families could sustain the costs of living from just one income. Today, even two incomes are barely enough to reproduce the quality of life enjoyed by parents.

The way he destroyed that last woman's question with his brilliant reply just made my day. 😂😂😂

Israel has a high fertility rate because the USA bankrolls it. If Israel ever has to pay its way in the world, without its American sugar daddy, its birth rate will fall like any other.

Fantastic speech. Thanks for speaking so frankly about such a crucial subject without avoid facing and discussing some current cultural taboos.

Absolutely fasçinating. A wonderful, now elderly, Lady.

Excellent. What a fascinating man

Truly amazing inspirational lady. ❤❤❤❤

I was immensely privileged in that my first contact with the world of horse racing was at the Kingsteignton yard of Sid Kernick. The odd thing is that I knew absolutely nothing about Mr Kernick's huge skill at breaking-in difficult horses. Another brilliant video featuring Sir Mark Prescott - simply captivating to watch!

He beat us all in batting order !! Brilliant

A true legend and so articulate

An excellent talk. Thank you.

What a interview its top sir mark deserves everything in life what a gentleman

Fabulous talk

💜🤠

The English language are doomed because nobody can tells the difference between plural and singular. Also them are pretty useless on subject and object cases.

She is so fabulous. Talented but such a character! Rare these days. ❤️

One of many outstanding panel sessions at the recent EA Sustain in Colchester.

Top draw …he won the Cambridgeshire with a horse that hadn’t run since the Lincoln ( I think ? )

Tell her about Kory Stamper who wrote Word by Word. It’s a fun book about working for Merriam-Webster In Massachusetts.
