If the previous government hadn't deliberaly flung the doors open to
mass immigration we wouldn't now be having to cope with housing an

Blair would be forced to rent out the rooms in his mansions.

Or scrap the Stalinist Town & Country Planning act. Thatcher reinforced this
act. Why? To keep house price high to appeal to owner/occupiers to gain
votes, while the country as whole suffered. The state of the nation was
throw out of the window.

The knock-on was that debt after debt was poured into land which resulted in
the Credit Crunch - a collapse.
