And again our government are doing all they can to get them back into use to help solve the huge problem.

So why do we have huge waiting lists?

Nevermind the number that have been stockpiled by investors.
Does anyone really need a second home? How many are owned by uber cunts who see it as a money making scheme?

Bloody hell, another one.
No wonder this poll is skewed from the polls in the UK.
All the outers live abroad on here.

My user name should indicate that I am now in the UK. Personally am undecided at present between in and out, though leaning towards out.

The Spanish will probably charge a Fee for a visa.

A lot of things that used to be free are likely to attract a cost.

They are not going to make it too onerous for ex-pats to stay there while they've got whole towns with no inhabitants.

Whist being correct your answer does sweet FA for the people who are waiting to be housed. Brining in additional people, unless they can rent or buy a property through their own means only adds to an existing problem does it not?

I haven't quoted any paper. I speak from experience and know how hard the government are trying to get enough houses built. I really don't get your response again. You seem to speak in left wing riddles.

We are a relatively small country with 60 million people and a housing problem. We desperately need to stem immigration and increase supply of housing to enable people to get onto the property ladder sooner. One of the principle reasons people are having children later is because of the supply and demand issue with housing. Do you think that it is not an issue that the average first time buyer is now well into his 30s?

You and I do not disagree that there is a housing problem.

One of my favourite saying is * If you want to get there I wouldn't start from here". That sums us up rather nicely.

When you state "I speak from experience and know how hard the government are trying to get enough houses built"

Trying harder to do the wrong thing does not make things better, this government will not solve the housing crisis if you and your colleagues work double shifts until eternity because you are running in the wrong direction.

I work with a government department running in the wrong direction, it is exasperating.

There are plenty of people of all nationalities who don't like foreigners and having lived abroad for over 20 years, I found that out personally on numerous occasions.

There is, in fact I would say Britain is about as good as it gets in the way we welcome immigrants, which is why the 'blame immigrants' focused campaign has lost the referendum for the leave campaign with weeks to go

A user name is hardly an indicator of who, what or where someone is.

Thought they had to anyway with the new benefits regulationsfrom that last round of negotiations? Could be wrong...
