Thread Name: Osborne wrong: UK immigration needed
Subject: RE: Osborne wrong: UK immigration needed
We do, but net immigration doesn't increase the pressure on housing by any large amount. I'd love to see hard, peer-reviewed evidence that it does.
I'd love to know how adding more people could fail to increase the pressure on housing!
Thatcher sold the council houses, but she did not pull them down.
They still exist but there is a massive shortfall in the number of houses compared to the number of people.
