I've just watched John Snow's report from the US. Utter total
one-sided bias against Trump. Staggeringly one-sided.
Now Dispatches are on about the housing shortage. They mention that
it's partly due to the 'massive population increase' but they don't
say why the population has increased.

well you *can* see why they did that

they were making a specific point about how the house builders
artificially increase the price of housing by restricting supply

If they got bogged down in political claims about whether immigration is
a good thing or not, their main point would become a secondary gripe and
been complete missed

IF population was stable we would only be building new houses by tearing
down old ones.

Quite hard to restrict stocks to elevate prices.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
