Harry only wants to see a single cause that he can blame on people he
doesn't like.

Two major factors are that we are living longer and fewer people are
living in one dwelling - an average of two per dwelling today, as
compared to five in the 1950s. The problem is also not that there are
not enough houses; there are around 5.2% more places to live than
households wanting wanting to live in them. The problem is that the
housing and the households are not in the same places.

London is one of the worst places for a shortage of housing, partly
because of a lack of suitable places for development and partly because
its population is growing at around twice the national average.
Immigration does play a big part there. A lot of people, particularly
people in their thirties with families, are moving out of London but
even more are moving in; principally highly qualified people in their
20s, both British and foreign, coming to London to work. However, that
doesn't fit the profile that Harry or the person who wrote the article
want to blame.

OK:

Net immigration (Office of National Statistic figures) between 1998 to
2017 was 4.5 million. This is not an insignificant figure in 20 years.
UK population in the same period went from 58.5 to 66 million.

In the same period an estate of flats (one of which I bought in 1995 for
£45k) are now valued at £235k (identical flat just along, 2017 Land
Registry data).

Sure, there are other factors (irresponsible mortgage lending, higher
divorce rates [related to the PP's note that occupancy factors are
lower] leading to further market pressure) but it would be very hard to
claim the massive increase in population and consequent demand has no
link with the value of limited housing.

didn't consider the knock-on effects of mass immigration: housing
shortage, pressures on GP surgeries, higher water demand, school class

Migrants are paying taxes, they are coming here and "hitting the

The true scum to b lame are babies and toddlers, they never paid a

There are plenty of places for people to live - 5.2% more dwellings than
household that want to live in them. They just aren't in the same
places. However, even if the population had not changed since 1951, we
would still ned 2.5 times as many houses as we did then, simply to allow
for the change in occupancy rate. If you also allow for the increase in
average life expectancy, you would need to add another 15-18% to that.

and they'd be cheaper.


In 54% of the country, house prices have fallen over the past few years.
Again, it is just not in those places where people want to live.

I have no reason to doubt the figures. I am simply pointing out that the
idea of a housing shortage is a regional, rather than a national,
concept, and that, while immigration cannot help but affect the demand
for housing, it is not the only factor and may not be the most
important. Even if the population level had remained static since the
1950s, the occupancy level would mean that we would now need two and a
half times as many dwellings to house the same number. Life expectancy
for men has also risen by 19% since 1951 and by 16% for women, also
increasing demand for housing.

Where do we get all the nurses from?


You are talking to the converted :-)

My mother had a number of carers before she died. About six English at
various times and one Polish lady. The only name I can remember was
the Polish ladies, Magda.

She did the job perfectly, she was firm with my mother and was a bit
like an executionor in action, did the work and asserted authourity
when appropriate. She was also sympathetic and took the time to
actually communicate with my mother.

As for the others.....


My sister had a sign over the kitchen cabinet door asking the carers
to remove their gloves and wash their hands before giving my mother
food and drink. One does not wish to speculate what was on the gloves.

I had a sign on the living room door asking the other morons to not
allow people into the house.

This was after finding someone in the house after a carer had allowed
access, then left leaving him in on his own.

The miserable excuse for a manager could not seem to grasp that the
fact that though a carer was present in the, apart from my mother,
empty house, it did not grant that carer the right to admit third
parties.

That polish lady probably won't have the qualifications to come to the
UK soon.

As for the other useless piles of dross, the wages will go up, the
poor pensioners lives will be worse, but at least the disgusting
pathetic bigots will be happy, they can wallow in the knowledge that a
bunch of useless bone idle shirkers are in "meaningful" employment.

Harry only wants to see a single cause that he can blame on people he
doesn't like.

Two major factors are that we are living longer and fewer people are
living in one dwelling - an average of two per dwelling today, as
compared to five in the 1950s. The problem is also not that there are
not enough houses; there are around 5.2% more places to live than
households wanting wanting to live in them. The problem is that the
housing and the households are not in the same places.

London is one of the worst places for a shortage of housing, partly
because of a lack of suitable places for development and partly because
its population is growing at around twice the national average.
Immigration does play a big part there. A lot of people, particularly
people in their thirties with families, are moving out of London but
even more are moving in; principally highly qualified people in their
20s, both British and foreign, coming to London to work. However, that
doesn't fit the profile that Harry or the person who wrote the article
want to blame.

If there were no migration, the population would have fallen.
There would be plenty of houses for everyone and they'd be cheaper.
Only the Guardian comes out with crap like yours.

Where do you suppose all the millions of migrants are living?


Migrants are paying taxes, they are coming here and "hitting the
ground running". They support the NHS and buy/ pay for housing.

The true scum to b lame are babies and toddlers, they never paid a
penny into the system and are the prime reason for house buying.

These leeches will suck the country dry for years, and when they come
of age will fill every prison in Britain.

Sent them back, thats what I say. It may be a trifle difficult with

Most migrant don't pay any tax.
Most money they earn is sent back "home".
They are here to keep the general wages low and property prices high and rising so the likes of Tony Bliar can benefit from their property portfolio.


We all pay tax.

Apart from scum like Mogg, the hero of the Brexiters who has his
Cayman Islands buisiness to help his ilk to channel their wealth from
the UK.



To live in the UK costs money, to earn money you pay tax. If you are
aware of tax fiddles by migrants or anyone else do your country a
favour you nasty bigoted scumbag and report it to the appropriate
authourity, and not uk.d-i-y

Harry only wants to see a single cause that he can blame on people he

I do believe if someone else had posted the link it would have given
the subject far more credibility.


Would anybody else, without the same anti-immigration agenda, have
posted it without the sort of caveats that I have raised?

Two major factors are that we are living longer and fewer people are
living in one dwelling - an average of two per dwelling today, as
compared to five in the 1950s. The problem is also not that there are
not enough houses; there are around 5.2% more places to live than

London is one of the worst places for a shortage of housing, partly
because of a lack of suitable places for development and partly
because its population is growing at around twice the national
average. Immigration does play a big part there. A lot of people,
particularly people in their thirties with families, are moving out of
London but even more are moving in; principally highly qualified
people in their 20s, both British and foreign, coming to London to
work. However, that doesn't fit the profile that Harry or the person
who wrote the article want to blame.


Your post is the extreme antithesis of Harry's. Do you have any reason
to question any of the statistics quoted in the article? (Apart from
disliking the conclusions than can be drawn).


I have no reason to doubt the figures. I am simply pointing out that the
idea of a housing shortage is a regional, rather than a national,
concept, and that, while immigration cannot help but affect the demand
for housing, it is not the only factor and may not be the most
important. Even if the population level had remained static since the
1950s, the occupancy level would mean that we would now need two and a
half times as many dwellings to house the same number. Life expectancy
for men has also risen by 19% since 1951 and by 16% for women, also
increasing demand for housing.



It's not just housing the migrants (EU or otherwise) are putting pressure
on. It's just about every form of infrastructure you can think of. I
don't blame them, not for a second, they're only trying to better their
lives; but this has been very badly managed by those in government who
surely must have seen it coming - yet did NOTHING.

Sadly voters deserve scum like that, simply because they are

being a conflict of interest and a sign that the scumbag is just a

they are some kind of ongoing research vehicle only raking it in out

Not at all, it's a proposed new word in the Oxford English dictionary
referring to a Remainer that resorts to abuse, like calling Brexiters
child molesters.

Not name calling at all, just an apt description.

its population is growing at around twice the national average.
Immigration does play a big part there. A lot of people, particularly
people in their thirties with families, are moving out of London but
even more are moving in; principally highly qualified people in their
20s, both British and foreign, coming to London to work. However, that
doesn't fit the profile that Harry or the person who wrote the article
want to blame.

If there were no migration, the population would have fallen.
There would be plenty of houses for everyone and they'd be cheaper.
Only the Guardian comes out with crap like yours.

Where do you suppose all the millions of migrants are living?

Migrants are paying taxes, they are coming here and "hitting the
ground running". They support the NHS and buy/ pay for housing.

The true scum to b lame are babies and toddlers, they never paid a
penny into the system and are the prime reason for house buying.

These leeches will suck the country dry for years, and when they come
of age will fill every prison in Britain.

Sent them back, thats what I say. It may be a trifle difficult with
teens, but with a good set of tyre levers......

Most migrant don't pay any tax.
Most money they earn is sent back "home".
They are here to keep the general wages low and property prices high and rising so the likes of Tony Bliar can benefit from their property portfolio.

We all pay tax.

Apart from scum like Mogg, the hero of the Brexiters

Name calling seems to be a Remoaner trait.

You've already lost what ever argument you think you might have had.

He is an expense fiddling liar and cheat who is happy to channel the
UK's money into his own business.


If you believe rules have been broken then shouldn't you do something
about it?


Currently I am a little tied up with one or two other items that I
want interaction from the UK government on.

I am also practical, to try to make a criminal complaint would be
difficult and I have every confidence that it would never even get his
attention.

Trying to do anything through the government isn't worthwhile either,
any party with Johnson in the cabinet has lost the plot anyway, and I
would be expecting members of the same cabal to act against him.

In true tradition of a Remoaner you resort to abuse.

The clearest possible admission there is no argument.


I never put it forward as an argument. It's fact.

Harry only wants to see a single cause that he can blame on people he
doesn't like.

Two major factors are that we are living longer and fewer people are
living in one dwelling - an average of two per dwelling today, as
compared to five in the 1950s. The problem is also not that there are
not enough houses; there are around 5.2% more places to live than
households wanting wanting to live in them. The problem is that the
housing and the households are not in the same places.

London is one of the worst places for a shortage of housing, partly
because of a lack of suitable places for development and partly because
its population is growing at around twice the national average.

I am not a remainer.

I did not vote for or against Brexit.


Then stop calling those who did, or express a view, names.


Why? They are not names anyway, they are adjectives.

If the government can have lords or honourable members, then why can
it not have thieving scum?

Thieving isn't a name either, it's a noun, a title, it sums up what
that person does.

Mogg fiddles expenses, therefore he is a thieving lying scumbag.

No name calling, nothing nasty, just a simple descriptive statement of
job function


Now I was guilty of attributing insults to harry, but they were not my
words and were simply pasted. I do not usually stoop to language of
that nature, but I did think that the wording was very appropriate and
summed the nasty dirty little bigot up nicely.

And use of the term 'Remoaner' is not name calling?

Pot. Kettle. Black.


Not at all, it's a proposed new word in the Oxford English dictionary
referring to a Remainer that resorts to abuse, like calling Brexiters
child molesters.



If that is a reference to my post, then have the decency to withdraw
it please.

Try to pay attention eh?

There will be questions to see how well you are following
incidentally.

Not name calling at all, just an apt description.

You need to learn the difference between immigration and unrestricted
immigration.

No. Just don't let the trash in. No need to gas them.
