The lack of new social housing builds for the last thirty years or more is coming home to roost. It's a huge problem. Low income workers just cannot afford to buy homes, it's that simple. But the country would grind to a halt without them.
I'm sure the Tories would be perfectly happy to house them in barracks within the equivalent of labour camps if they had their way.
Precisely. IMHO nothing but full on socialism can cure this sickness. So much of "the cake" "belongs" to the super wealthy (I include "Global corps PLC", hedge funds, Saudi billionaires investment portfolios etc as well as the like of The Duke of Westminster and Mohamed al Fayed etc) that the only way there can be enough to share out is to take much of it from the wealthy. They will never volunteer it so taking it from them is the only way.
Once you have a million or three it's a piece of piss to turn it into 100M without doing any work! Just invest it in the right way and know the right people and you'll "earn" more whilst you sleep than any normal person will in a lifetime! No matter how much tax these people pay (and in many cases it's very little as they can pay clever accountants to make sure of that) it's not enough if they can still afford a £400,000,000 yacht as a plaything!
Obviously the entire establishment will do anything to prevent this so we need a politician of a different breed, one who can't be bought, to oversee all this as PM....
