Can we have more information where to get these "free houses, cars, and
holidays" etc?
Or should we just find out what "David Smith" has been taking?
Well, I wasn't going to bore everyone talking about all the empty houses and
flats in the country, or streets going cheap as everyone is forced by economic
concentration and the wonders of the property market to pay through the nose
for properties in the south-east.
Even in greater London, as we all know on this newsgroup, booming financial
sector and desolated outer industrial areas over recent decades has meant more
people crowding onto the same roads and tubes in the same direction at the same
time. Not rocket science, just see the empty trains going the other way. But
too much joined up thinking for our politicians or the David Smiths.
And as Britain's only booming trades were financial (Third World debt piling up
on the city skyline) and arms exports, economic migrants and asylum seekers
alike are just chickens coming to roost. Likewise, the triumph of the free
market over the admittedly inefficient eastern Europe brings a new wave of
economic refugees eager to taste the supposed affluence of the West and provide
cheap labour (guess who is building your England these days, -including your
national stadium - and even emptying your bins, courtesy of Haliburton down the
road). But don't worry, you won't be getting so many Asians now, your patriotic
employers are exporting the jobs to India instead. Like call centres. Good job
some of these people overseas probably have a better knowledge of British
geography than the David Smiths here.
