This is really the issue. By definition the largest demographic will have the most political sway and the problem is the demographic is too large. Also old age is the one thing hopefully everyone has to look forward to and no one wants to vote away their own entitlement either. Easy to fuck over...

When you compare him to Rudi/EMC/Grimes. who were a similar fee or Thomas/MvE who were cheaper he’s not been great. For the money we paid and his age you’d expect a leader on the pitch who makes a significant difference not someone who loses his place to Louis Binks.

The market has no interest in profit is an interesting take. When I worked in that industry the bottleneck was sites through planning not developers.

Best just keep doing nothing until the perfect solution arrives.

Just came across this. Apparently from the MET in 2019 so not sure how applicable it still is, but gives an insight into why the police never seem to properly investigate a lot of crime IMO

It’s like all the rights “cost savings” stealing from tomorrow to pay for today.

Huh those last 14 years look surprisingly flat. Must be the immigrants. Can’t be the voting choices of half this thread.

The Industrial Revolution was quite famously good for living standards.

When are we talking about? we’ve got the current Boriswave from Afghanistan Ukraine and HK schemes. There was the 2015/16 ish migrant crisis from Syria. There was the expansion of the EU. Or do you mean the base rate under all of these?

Excuses excuses. I know you’re obsessed with foreigners but the housing crisis started decades before any spike in immigration. Who said anything about expanding the size of the state? Just keeping pace would be fine. Where were these whines during the baby boom years or hell during the 1800s...

The two are separate. Like public service provision. We can build enough we choose not to and even if we don’t that’s not an excuse not to build any. Even if we robs total shutdown of immigration we’d still need millions of homes building.

Got the same crackhead vibe as Collins.

Still not quite sure how a building that extracts cash from almost exclusively local people and hands it to hyper mobile young lads to buy property and cars with helps the local economy.

It does but equally LAs shouldn’t have to go with the begging bowl to the treasury for every little transport project.

We can’t even be left alone to develop and entirely new cheap mass transit without the government butting in and BCFC can get a tram line built like that smh

1-1 your move non-white ppl

I don’t but if I got benefits wouldn’t that count in these stats cos I live with a dirty foreigner? It’s “households with at least one foreign national”. Nigel Farage is included in that FFS. What a completely meaningless stat.

Great I’m going to have a bunch of Harry Styles fans in the way :/
