The obscenity is there is a shortage, encouraging speculators. They know
there is no will to build any more, despite the hot air. Its a major
reason for Brexit.

Nothing to do with Brexit. Tory policy. Sell off all the social housing
you can at a discount, to those who can afford to buy.

Are you suggesting that these houses disappear, and can no longer house
families? Are they all knocked down?

I'm sure they're in the same place as before and housing the same
families, just wondering why this makes any difference to housing demand?

Then the up and
coming poor have to rent in the private sector, putting the profits into
Tory pockets. Including any housing benefit. You just know it makes sense.
To a moron.

Did all those years of Labour after Major build many houses?

I agree about Housing Benefit going to landlords.

The consequence was Brexit, best live with it.

Living with Brexit is not a problem, living with the disaster thats
going to happen if this Conservative shower go unchecked is not
something "best lived with"

To just give up and put everything blindly into the hands of May & Co,
is downright lunacy.

Have you seen what the ******* have been up to over the time they have
been in. Excuses, blame no action, just blame others for their
incompetence.

They are a sick joke, and to give the idiots free reign is something
generations will hate us for.

Stick your head in the sand if you want to, but dont expect anyone
with a bit of nous to "live with it". It's not democracy it's total
crass stupidity.
