Ho hum, tedious tobes being tedious tobes, desperately spinning for a way of ****ing up a discussion and trying to lay the blame elsewhere.

Before you came in wriggling, the conversation was about asylum and immigration. Any views?
I've already spoken about it.

We were discussing your comment;

So the chant at your march would be, "what do we want" " not that". I think it's already being used by various left leaning protests.

That you then claimed was;

Funnily enough, it was based on clips from remaonians

I'm asking you to justify that comment with some actual facts, as I'm calling bollocks on it, that plain enough for you?




 
Ula never bore Pete a son to add to the statistics he so despises, fortunately.

Ironically she came over and bailed out his sorry arse with her life's savings.

A great example of an immigrant coming to these shores and adding to the economy <ok>
 
250,000 are homeless.

But there is something else that needs to be considered and that is whether there is enough rooms to house everyone.

35% of houses have 2 or more unoccupied bedroom.
35% of houses have 1 unoccupied bedroom
26% have number of bedrooms matching number of expected occupants
4.5% are overcrowded.

Across the country we have nearly 2 bedrooms per person when 40 years ago it was 1.4.

Far to much of the housing built is too large for our needs because it demands a bigger price. To much social housing has been lost or is underutilised.
That 250k should be housed before any newcomers.Charity should begin at home.

The idea that there are 250k individuals that stay the same is detached from reality.

By the time you have housed 50k, 50k will have found permanent accommodation by themselves and 50k will have become homeless.

So where do these newcomers slot into this system if the system never manages to house everyone and who do you blame for this failure?

Your argument is that because our government is screwing up so badly that we should not accept newcomers, mine is the government needs to get its act together

I only give my opinion.No stats,figures or links.Agree the government need their arses kicked.
Why they can't sort out the housing situation is beyond me....Best not even talk about waiting lists.

The entire issue is down to the lack of social or affordable housing. It's an accepted fact that immigration adds to the economy and yet the Govt has failed to invest in the infrastructure to cope with the growth, combined with not covering the ever decreasing amount of social housing due to right to buy.

The issues haven't been tackled as there's been no political will to, not because the issues were insurmountable. Instead of channelling cash where it's most needed we're going to spew cash away on Trident and a vanity project like HS2.

The issues could easily be remedied, but the simple fact is that they've failed to make it a political priority and instead have allowed the right to point the finger of blame at immigrants which in my view is political cowardice
