when Farage blames immigrants for the housing crisis, the BBC reports in it but the companies like Blackstone, who buy up vast swaths of Britain's housing to rent, rarely, if ever, get mentioned.
It's true that the media are a problem but that's not to say immigration doesn't also cause problems with housing. Last year (2023) there was a net 685,000 more people in the UK. That's a ridiculous amount of people who need housing. I can say from experience that it's an utter nightmare finding anywhere at all to live, and was so even before those hundreds of thousands of people turned up.
I really hope they are able to be effective with a "busting the gangs" strategy
No strategy to bust gangs is going to work while governments, including Starmer's Labour government, insist on putting £10 billion a year into the hands of criminals through drug prohibition.
we all know how it ended
It ended?
Make it happen.
Exactly. Headline is stupid.
Why are they suggesting that after the Tories have been smashed is the time to build a socialist opposition?
The mechanics are different but it makes no difference whatsoever to the sentiment. Everything Carlin says about American politics is entirely applicable to British politics.
illegal
properly banned
This makes no sense. If it's illegal, it's already banned.
I think with this statement you've uncovered the heart of the issue. Your interest in other people's diets is unwelcome and those who do not welcome your interest are simply returning the favour.
If one pokes one's nose in other people's business, one should expect negative responses.
Edit: pretty ironic that you accused me of putting my head in the sand and then downvoted this comment with no response.
