The two go hand in hand. Of course now prices have risen to such an extent that people on average wage cannot afford to live in the London postcodes. Even traditional working class (poorer) areas like Hayes and parts of the Boro of Brent are right on the cusp of what is and what is not affordable. Central London now truly is only affordable by people with money.
No even mentioning the pensions crisis and the need to import more to pay the pensions of today and tomorrow.
The Lib Dems will be history post May next year. We know it and they know it which is why they are flaunting all these unpopular policies at their conference. UKIP has now taken over as the party of the protest vote.
It remains to be seen if UKIP can turn this recent swell of support into something to upset the ConLab plans for the Country.
How very true. Plainly obvious but LIBLabCon can't see it
I agree that uncontrolled immigration is the reason for the apparent 'housing shortage'. I don't agree that the LibLabCon can't see it.
The immigration problem has been thoroughly brought to the attention of the LibLabCon for many years now, and their arrogant response has been to threaten anybody who disagreed with them with charges of racism – until recently – and support for UKIP is responsible for the withdrawing of the LibLabCon's racism charge. However, the LibLabCon remain totally committed to open door and uncontrolled immigration in order to undermine and destroy what remains of the British culture. The LibLabCon know perfectly well what they are doing to us – they just don't have the honesty or integrity to tell us.
With the open-door immigration caused 'housing shortage', we see absolutely no government directed investment in essential utilities and services that an increased population and housing stock demands. Electricity generation is being deliberately cut-back by the EU forced closure of coal-burning power stations; water storage and supplies remain very tight; flood control has become a serious and unfunny joke; road building remains frozen; public transport will never cope with any increased demand; the NHS, hospitals, GP surgeries, etc. are at breaking point; education, school buildings, and high quality teachers are all in very short supply. AND, unemployment and under-employment are already at crisis point.
The electricity supply situation is now so desperate that black-outs and short-time working are a very real possibility in the very near future, all thanks to decades of procrastination and downright foolishness on behalf of the LibLabCon.
Couple the immigration caused 'housing shortage' with the deliberate political policy of zero investment in essential utilities and services and the only rational conclusion that can be drawn is – British society is under deliberate political attack from the LibLabCon.
The decades of under-investment in essentials by the LibLabCon provides UKIP with another very large and open goal to shoot at. By now UKIP ought to have the LibLabCon on the ropes and begging for mercy.
