That would be circa 1700 and the beginning of the rather unconservative industrial revolution. You are Jack Aubrey and I claim my prize. Edited by pefwin (12 May 2018 7.42pm) I agree that this is a process that has actually been going on a long time. The difference now is pace. We are talking about tens of thousands arriving here and needing housing, whereas in the past it was just an almost imperceptible trickle. I know it is the territory of the left to make comparisons to the past and claim it is all normal but that is a lie plain and simple. The current rate of population increase is unprecedented.

All comparison claims on previous immigration are a nonsense. Even without the 'plain as day' statistics anyone who has seen what has happened to London in thirty years can attest to that.

Are we alone in being paranoid as a nation in having to own property.

Too many people too little housing focus over decades. Property boom politics being yet another example of short term political gain set against long term interest for the country. Also too many farmers with too much farming land perhaps? Edited by Stirlingsays (12 May 2018 1.07pm) I am delighted to see that you are a supporter of land reform Stirling. It is a shame that Scotland only paid it lip service when there was a chance to make radical changes. I assume you agree that significant tranches of land should be taken away from giant agribusiness (nationalised?) and given to the smaller farmers who tend to focus on food production and often achieve more per hectare. They also are more prone to using traditional methods less likely to exhaust the soil, a major concern currently. It would also give social benefits. The UK is currently less than 76% self sufficient for food and has not been self sufficient for over 200 years. A good job Brexit is coming then. That may drive land reform.

I'm working class and interested in what's better for the country overall. I have a sense of English/British/European/Western identity and an allegiance to secularism. I am very concerned about how the politicians both national and from the EU have handled these concerns these past couple of generations. They have trashed my country. Housing is just one of the consequences of their political short term decisions. I have no particular desire to punish property owners such as farmers. However, as the population continues to rise the impact on people like farmers is going to be obvious. They will come into the firing line. Decisions on priorities will have to be made. The stupidity and short termism of operating an immigration ponzi scheme over decades will became apparent enough. Edited by Stirlingsays (15 May 2018 8.02pm)
