So why are we constantly banging on about the fact that we need to build more?There are around 700000 empty homes in the UK
Because this statistic, like his arguments, is a load of cobblers.
There are 200,000 empty homes (the other 4-500,000 have been empty for less than 6 months, many places sit empty between sales/renters etc)
Now out of that 200k you will have houses that are being renovated, in the arse end of the country (not where we have housing pressure), have been repossessed but not yet re-sold).
The actual number of liveable houses sitting empty is negligible.
No one has to die, the UK has a moral and legal obligation help innocent victims of war and persecution but it is under no obligation to provide economic opportunity for illegal migrants.Yes good point. Lets let these people die so we don't have to sit in traffic for an extra 20 minutes. We have problems here but they are nothing compared what some of these people are going through.The road network is creaking under the current strain, such that one shed load causes hours of misery, for thousands upon thousands.
