Oerdin, do you have any idea of the housing crisis in the UK at the moment?

Because of excessive environmental and socially-responsible red tape, plus a big dose of NIMBYism, nowhere near enough houses are being built, with the result that there is a chronic shortage of accomodation, which combined with low-tax status for the ultra-rich, buy-to-let sharks, and massive city bonuses, are driving house prices out of control, and cutting living standards to the bone for millions of people.

I'm in favour of immigration in principal, but there comes a point where infrastructure has to keep pace, and it's not happening here at the moment.

The problem isn't some backward, bigotted, nationalistic prejudice against 'furrenrers', but a matter of logistics.

Britain isn't enjoying lower inflation, bucause house prices have risen in some places by 10% in six months. That is NOT low inflation, and it is not enjoyable (other than for the rich).
