British families should be “contained” to stop them having too many children, Bill Oddie has said.
The Springwatch presenter claimed the answer to over-population was not curbing immigration, but restricting the size of families.
Bill Oddie has three children. I wonder if he thinks he would have been allowed the second, let alone the third, under such a policy?

MG shall be in attendance at this debate organised by Libertarian Home:
Date: 23rd October
Time: 1900 – 2200
Location: The Drama Studio, Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL
The left has sought to make the Cost of Living a part of its intellectual territory. Market liberals have thus far failed to claim it, but not for the want of trying.
While it is the lower and middle classes that feel the pinch of inflation and stagnant wages, all classes have to pay prices for essentials that sometimes seem unjustifiable. What makes the Cost of Living so high in the first place?
Libertarian Home is assembling a balanced panel of speakers who will consider each of several causes in turn. Expert witnesses will bring their perspectives and answer questions from the panel and the audience.
Is the Cost of Living rightfully and exclusively an issue for the left? Do free market reformers really care? Who is to blame and what can be done about it?
