House prices are another, related, issue.


And why d'ye think house prices might have gone up to the extent they
have?

It's simple supply and demand. The demand side has shot up due to the
population increase, 60% of which is due to recent immigration. Much of
the rest is due to second,third, and fourth generations of immigrants,
who have a higher birthrate than the indigenous population.

It's not population increase - in the main the physical shortage is due
to household composition (more smaller households) and empty properties.


So the programme was wrong?


If the problem is that more people live alone why isn't there a price
premium on small flats?


There is round here.

I sometime wonder if people voted for Brexit because of the BBC stance
on the subject.


An opinion formed from watching TV is an opinion not worth the TV tax demands they send me for a rather bad kind of bum-fodder

Worse than Jon Snow is the previous economics editor for Channel 4
News, Paul Mason. He's pleasant enough on the telly but very left
leaning and a good mate of wacko Greek economist and
self-proclaimed "game theorist", Yanis Varoufakis, who tried to
bluff Grexit with the EU but lost.

I like you Pamela. You are a good right-thinking girl. We could get on

I also found the bbc program on why the trains are bad lacking in any
details as well. they presented the facts as they saw them, and the fact
that gov and companies blame each other, but then suggested
nationalisation might be a way to go, but never really produced any
convincing evidence of how this was supposed to solve things.To me the
obvious answer is to rewrite the contracts so all the companies colaborate
and don't work against each other might be one way.


Not even possible to have that in the contracts in a way that will see that
happen IMO.

However I got the distinct oppinion that somebody had got at the original
thrust of what was going to be suggested for some reason.


More likely that they just arent much good at producing docos.

Too many half baked tell us what we already know documentaries around,


Sure, but that is with us that understand quite a bit of the basics.

Its not clear how much educating of the average person
veging out in front of the TV is going on with them. Not
even clear how many of those even bother with docos at all.

just to fill schedule space.


On the whole IMO the BBC docos are about the best around.

Of course the reason for population growth is well known.


Yep, those unspeakable immigrants have more brats.

Back some years ago our birth rate was falling below the level at which
the tax paying public could support those who were getting pensions and
who needed healthcare with age,


That's true of the entire modern first world and much of the second world
too. NOT ONE is ever self replacing if you take out immigration now.

so the bright sparks came up with opening up the doors to immigration as
it is well known that in countries with poor records on infant deaths that
they have more babies for at least two generations.


It didn’t happen like that. In fact Britain opened the doors to immigrants
right after the war had ended and has in fact made it much harder for all
except EU citizens to move to Britain now that it was then.

And it isnt at least two generations either. Yes, those who migrated
to tend to have more brats than average but their kids hardly ever do.

The big snag of course is that this also then means you need more schools
houses and almost everything else,


Yep.

soaking up the money.


Nope, its one of the reasons Britain is doing much
better than it was in say the 50s economically.

Governments never do see or even consider the whole picture when they do
things.


Quite often they do and its very arguable that allowing all
those immigrants in was bad for Britain as a whole. Same
with the countrys that take a MUCH greater percentage of
immigrants that Britain does, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc.

It isnt even clear that the US is worse off now than it would have
been if it had just shut the doors to immigration after the war.

Japan essentially did that and still did pretty well until China got
its act into gear and decided that capitalism was the way to go.

They think of their budgets only.


The choice to allow higher levels of immigration wasn’t a budget
decision. It was a recognition that there weren't enough of the locals
prepared to do the worst jobs and that immigrants would be happy
to do them because their circumstances were so much worse.

It has nothing to do with racial descrimination or ethnic issues, its to
do with idiots in government.


Its far from clear that it was an idiotic decision.

Or that when Britain chose to join the EEC, that anyone realised
that it would eventually morph into the EU which would decide
that the completely free movement of people within the EU was
a very fundamental principle that it wanted to have. Or even that
much thought was given to that when Britain chose to sign the
Treaty of Lisbon etc either. Or even that many realised that
Britain could end up doing so well economically that lots
from the dregs of the EU would decide that their prospects
were much better in Britain than where they come from.

Either you're tolerant or you're not. You can't pick and choose to tolerate only those

Whereas if Harry hasn't claimed to be tolerant in the first place, then he would seem

BTW the core value stuff is nonsense. It was all dreamed up so at to assuage the

It's all about 'Cultural Norms'. The Turnip just told me. Harry doesn't

O

You won't know these things about me: I am white. I have five children.
As it happens my Dad was born in India, my Granny in Jamaica. If you
want to share with me your opinion about my use of contraception I will
tell you to go and take a running jump and you won't even be surprised.
It's none of your business and you know it.

For some reason though, you think it's okay to pontificate about
brown-skinned people who do exactly the same as me. That is because you
are a racist. You don't think you are, but you have just proved beyond

Well, Greece's problem is that people in Greece, in particular the self
employed and the middle classes are tax avoiders (upper classes don't
pay tax anywhere...). See
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....act_id=2109500 for example.


Greece's problem is the Euro.

Not possible to get worse because Britain has **** all to lose.

It is in fact much more complicated than that.

Greece can't repay the loans.


Because they don't come even close to raising in taxes what they spend.
That's why they stupidly borrowed so much from the German banks and
****ed it all against the wall on stupidly generous pensions etc.

It's true that the EU played its part in letting Greece get into a
financial pickle.

However it was that wonderful duo, Varoufakis and Tsipras, who
misread their hand and felt Greece was too big to fail. They
played their hand accordingly, with devious twists and turns,
until they ran out of options and lost what little goodwill the EU
had towards them. Plucky little Greece got a bloody nose and is
still recovering.


Its far from clear that it will recover given what was imposed.

Let's hope self-confident Britain doesn't
also misread the EU in the negotiations.


Doesn’t matter if it does, its free to trade under the WTO rules.

Worse than Jon Snow is the previous economics editor for Channel 4

You forgot "British educated and qualified economist" Varoufakis. My
dentist is
related to him, a cousin or aunt?? Varoufakis has recently told Brexit
negotiators to expect the same treatment from the EU hierarchy as he
got. I
expect worse. Greece's problems are that German banks lent Greece
billions to
spend on German imports encouraged by the German government. Greece
can't repay
the loans.


You might enjoy this if you have a spare hour or so.

I did enjoy the article. Thanks. So who is really wacko?


Varoufakis. Typical lefty****.

So you want to hear that it's all about immigration, even though
that
would be a lie. Farage or the Mail will tell you that, and plenty of
other lies too. Stick with them in future.


well it is all about immigration. the ones having kids are first
generation (Asian) immigrants by and large.

This is not xenophopbia, its actually a fact.



You say it's people who were born here having too many children?
Nothing
to do with immigration then, more a question of skin colour. Is that
what troubles you?

You are letting your racism show.

Nothing to do with skin colour, everything to do with imported cultural
norms.


http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati...-uk-born-women




Or do you think the Office for national statistics is a rabid swivel
eyed spittle flecked den of xenophobes?

What an immigration denier you are, to be sure.



You won't know these things about me: I am white. I have five children.
As it happens my Dad was born in India, my Granny in Jamaica.


Well then you are exactly the point. first generation immigrant with
far too many children.


You missed the bit where he said he was white. The granny and
the dad were actually the spawn of colonial jackbooters, stupid.


You missed the bit where the office of national statistics doesn't say
anything about race or skin colour, merely about whether
parents/grandparents were born abroad. I.e. are 'immigrants'

Stupid

Its becoming increasingly clear that to lefty****s, an 'immigrant' is
more than someone who comes here to live from 'abroad'. They are also a
racial and ethnically distinct group with 'colored skins' (check the
inherent racism in that way of looking) with presumably special needs
etc etc and carrying a huge victim status that lefty****s can wank over
in moral indignation as they virtue signal how tolerant they are to
everyone except those who by dint of being born here, actually have a
right to reside.

The blatant racism and bigotry of the left is displayed in the inherent
sense of guilt they have over anyone whom they in their racist way
perceive as a different 'race' to them.

I don't give a toss about race or ethnicity. Frankly what counts is
culture character and intelligence, and probably my two best friends are
as it happens, immigrants both.

I never see skin color or where they come from, just who they are.

Lefty****s are lefty****s irrespective of race religion skin color or
ethnicity.

As are immigrants.

It's not population increase - in the main the physical shortage is due
to household composition (more smaller households) and empty properties.


So the programme was wrong?

If the problem is that more people live alone why isn't there a price
premium on small flats?


Because they dont all want to live in small flats. Lefty**** Dave and Dave
the sot both dont.

I don't read links you post Harry because I have learned that you

Let me tell you again. You have totally failed and refused to
assimilate yourself to
British Culture. You don't accept the core values of tolerance,
openess, equality, love
of justice and respect for others. So by your own standards you
really need to leave
and live somewhere else. There is no place for you in the UK. They
won't want you in
France but you could start by moving into a tent at Ramsgate and
trying to hitch a lift
on a lorry.



But if you insist on making tolerance a core value of British Culture,
and you claim to
encompass those values yourself, then you have no choice but to
tolerate Harry and
his opinions.

Either you're tolerant or you're not. You can't pick and choose to
tolerate only those
things which don't offend your own sensibilities too much.

Suggesting people move elsewhere is not very tolerant is it ?

Whereas if Harry hasn't claimed to be tolerant in the first place, then
he would seem
to have carte blanche in such matters.

BTW the core value stuff is nonsense. It was all dreamed up so at to
assuage the
guilt of the plantation and mill owning classes. The ordinary working
classes
whether on plantations or in Cotton Mills never got a look in. And they
still
haven't.


It's all about 'Cultural Norms'. The Turnip just told me. Harry doesn't
share our 'Cultural Norms', it's nothing to do with his skin colour, if
he doesn't behave like a decent Englishman I can complain about him
being in my country. I am not a racist.

TW


You are a brain dead idiot with your head up your arse.
And a liar with your invented statistics.

Islam is here to destroy us.


Even sillier than you usually manage.

Then where will your "core values" be?


Same place they are now given that islam wont
destroy us even if they wanted to, and they dont.

They actively refuse to integrate.

Too many half baked tell us what we already know documentaries around, just
to fill schedule space.
Of course the reason for populationgrowth is well known.
Back some years ago our birth rate was falling below the level at which the
tax paying public could support those who were getting pensions and who
needed healthcare with age, so the bright sparks came up with opening up the
doors to immigration as it is well known that in countries with poor
records on infant deaths that they have more babies for at least two
generations . The big snag of course is that this also then means you need
more schools houses and almost everything else, soaking up the money.
Governments never do see or even consider the whole picture when they do
things. They think of their budgets only. It has nothing to do with racial
descrimination or ethnic issues, its to do with idiots in government.

Before the era of the Internet that was true because politicians could lie with impunity. As long as Wikileaks and it like can remain free then working class or mass franchised can get a chance to make their minds up.

That isn't to say they won't be swayed or that Wikileaks is unbreakable. I have noticed that most online news sites slip into opinion mode virtually straight away.

The only thing that then happens is that you stick to the sites that share your opinion so the Net isn't a cure all.

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.
