    Much more effective to target buildings full of civilians than terrorists eh - unless you have less faith in our intelligence service than EnderMB does?

    The shortage of infrastructure is because of two things, money and space. Unless you want to go and tell that poor farmer working 365 days a year for all hours, that you want to take his land to build all this infrastructure.
    Or I'll tell you what, let's go round knocking on doors and ask if the occupants don't mind converting their homes into flats.
    I'm afraid you are talking bollocks, if you think this will happen.

    But feel free to blame Murdoch and to hell with the people already on the housing list.

    Or do what the Germans are having to do right now - close all the sports halls indefinitely

    Capatilism is to blame for the housing crisis and ****ty (lack of) laws and regulations on renting, property etc. ban buy to let etc and build houses on the type of land like ashton vale and you suddenly have a lot of houses. **** the NIMBYS!

    Also there are an abundance of empty houses up north so put some refugees/asylum seekers there,

    Actually, there are 61,204 families on the social housing waiting list in Sheffield. That is the highest number on the waiting list from 175 councils in England.
    There are 236,105 families on the waiting list in Yorkshire and The Humber, 210,397 in the North West, 155,913 in the West Midlands, 106,477 in East Midlands and
    58,920 in the North East. Why don't you go and tell all of those families that there are an abundance of empty houses in their respective areas?

    Government councils or regulated house companies at cheap rates, which can only be bought by first time buyers and those in need and can never be rented out privately or at great expensive.

    We are the 7th richest country in the world, we can afford it!

    Just because it's not social housing doesn't mean that it isn't there <doh>
    It's all about buying the ****holes that are vacant for a small fee and turning them into houses people can live in

    Ah, you mean the private rented dwellings that the taxpayer is already paying £10 billion per year to private landlords in housing subsidies?
    Again, who will pay for this?
    It can't be the taxpayer as Cameron has promised £12bn in welfare cuts!

    Firstly Cameron and the ****s in charge are wrong for punishing millions of legitimate people with welfare cuts and it is unfair that people's lives are being destroyed rather than working with people to help them get off benefits by finding successful and meaning employers.

    And secondly we are paying billions to ****ty landlords at rip off rates because we don't have adequate housing, building more houses will stop this pointless expense long term.

    And thirdly austerity doesn't work, all recovering economies (our debt is still increasing to bear in mind) have borrowed to invest in the economy and then recovered by reaping the reward that comes from a stable economy with a strong gdp.

    Think you'll find Cameron and co. are trying to clear up the years of neglect from the Blair and Brown years, plus the mass and casual immigration they allowed, only to find that they had lost important files on those that they knew had terrorist links. Bunch of Muppets.

    The British economy is doing ok thanks to the prudent approach taking by Osbourne.

    Well MTG, you have a new leader today..

    Thats any chance of you seeing the Tories out now gone for many a year, the majority of the British public won't tolerate this society for shirkers attitude... He'll never see power and God help us if he does.

    I've always supported labour, been wavering for a few years. This election gone I was in two minds right until the last minute. But the power of my grandparents swayed me towards that bellend Milliband even though I knew my vote would mean **** all as he would never win.
    But with this complete cock of a man been elected has confirmed that I will not ever vote him in.

    I'm not a natural Tory voter by any stretch, in fact I have voted Labour more than I ever have Tory, but the last lot under Blair were woeful and I fully blame him for the state of this country today.. As Angelic said they ****ed up the economy, ****ed up immigration and went in to wars that were unjustified and have caused irreversible damage, the upshot of all that is the labour membership have lurched to the left and I'm afraid I'm too long in the tooth to continue being squeezed to the pip for taxes to watch Chavs with 12 kids get 7 bedroom houses and claiming themselves too fat as a disability to work.

    Don't worry about it, if mtg gets his way the chavs won't get a look in, plus that house you worked for is to be converted into flats.

    Oh also you're paying for it by the way.

    I think you'll find that the global economy collapsing under a global financial crisis was to blame, not labour.

    Also net migration has increased under the tories, so you can't blame labour for that. Also immigration is a very good thing. So in fact the tories increasing immigration levels is doing us all good :)

    Also our economy is ****e! Debt is still increasing despite (the failing of) austerity and we aren't borrowing to invest in our economy and jobs which is the only time where this is acceptable.

    If you think that every person on benefits is a lazy ****ed then you are single minded. Instead of punishing those on benefits we should be investing in them and helping them secure jobs. Increasing the minimum wage to a reasonable level (about £10) will cut down those who are better off not working or who work and rely on benefits. And everyone wins.

    Yes corbyn isn't the best but he is better than the Etonians and the out of touch selfish bastards who are ruining the lives of everyone who isn't a well off old bloke.

    Mtg
    You are a sandwich short of a picnic.
    Can't blame Labour for immigration???
    Blair signed up to uncontrolled immigration and told us we'd receive between 3 & 13k annually. How wrong was that and that was before the bloody Romanians and Bulgarians joined the party.
    I will agree that Cameron is a prize tw*t promising to reduce immigration - it's impossible with the agreement Labour agreed to.
    Only one way to control immigration and that's to leave the EU.
    Mtg you live on another Planet, can't believe anyone is as daft as you.

    I believe mtg is a young man with a very humain outlook on life, my weakness at his age was the Vietnam war, I am more than happy to listen or read his philosophy on life and remember we were all young once..<ok>

    Its the naivety of youth and thats a fact, MTG is young enough to not have seen enough of the world, but there are idiots out there like Corbyn who are old enough to know better, its frightening how a man of that age can be that ****in stupid..

    Still, takes all sorts.
