Says professor Matt Goodwin (Professor of politics at the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent). Matt Goodwin believes "we've got way too many people coming into the country" after it is revealed one in five tenants spend half of their salary in rent. It has been reported that 11.6 million people are privately renting across the UK, this would suggest that roughly 2.3 million tenants are spending over half of their pay before tax on rent. The average renter's spend comes in at just under a third or 30.6 per cent of their pre-tax pay. Goodwin said: "We've got a housing crisis which nobody in politics is prepared to deal with head-on."www.gbnews.com/politics/affordable-housing-and-mass-immigration-matt-goodwin-fury-over-migrant-crisisAnd it must be said, the only people who appear to be unaware of this are politicians. |

Prof Goodwin is probably correct when he claims: "we've got way too many people coming into the country". But wasn't Brexit and the UK getting its borders back meant to deal with this?
I'd argue against his point that the only people who appear to be unaware of this are politicians — the current administration is continually claiming it can deal with the situation, but nothing changes apart from the increasing immigration figures rising from 788,000 in 2019, to 1,180,000 in the year to June in 2023...

Civil servants the Tories thought were not obeying orders have been moved or sacked.
Not wishing to see the impossibility of most benefits that were promised Brexit would bring, was perhaps excusable. To deny the current failings — such as the massive cock-up over immigration — is plain stupid
Many EU citizens left in the run-up to, and since Brexit, leaving non-EU citizens (including returning British) to make up the current high level of UK immigration. They were at a high level for years, but the rhetoric of the anti-EU lobby persuaded its sympathisers to take their eye off the ball.
The UK's current administration has spent millions trying to look effective, but the one notable concrete development to remove people is the number of UK-trained medical staff who have sought and are intending to seek better pay and conditions abroad...

Don't be naive there's a good chap. The civil service are openly pro EU as are, or were, the vast majority of MP's. And as Hansard will show, Starmer spent two or three years vehemently opposing Brexit, and lets not forget he was elected Labour leader on a platform of holding a second referendum. Yes I know in 2022 he said he accepted Brexit, and that he had moved on. Yet last year he said he would seek a closer relationship with the EU and would accept migrants from the EU, although he refuses to say how many. In spite of BREXIT, I think anyone who believes prime minister Starmer will be anything other than an EU rule taker are kidding themselves. But I don't blame Starmer for the current situation, clearly it's the Tories fault. No prime minister since the referendum has been serious about implementing Brexit or immigration controls. Mrs May, Boris and Sunak are all sympathetic to the EU and all complicit in flooding this country with illegals. Will the housing and mass immigration crisis improve under a Labour government? I think you would have to be the worlds greatest optimist say yes. |

Not only that but the biggest lie Johnson told was he was not even pro-Bexit. He is a Europhile and if you don't believe me there is a Telegraph journalist who worked with him and knows what he was. The bastard just did it to become prime minister. Obviously he was going to cock it up. He would want us back in and he is probably being paid off by vested interests, hence why so rich when he was broke whilst in office. I personally think he suffered from a Hollywood cold, although I can't prove it. |

The lone shaft of light in an otherwise pro EU Tory line up has been Liz Truss, sadly she was never given a chance because the men in grey suits wanted Sunak. |

**When was Rishi Sunak ever pro EU? Admittedly, Boris Johnson has proved a number of times that he was only ever pro-Boris. But having got to be PM on the back of promising to get Brexit done, Boris proved he wasn’t capable of running an administration and did nothing but set some dates for actions that only impeded the UK’s potential to succeed as an ex-member of the EU. He ignored the Covid warning signs on the news each night as Italy struggled… ** www.rishisunak.com/news/why-i-will-vote-britain-leave-eu-0 |

I think the fate of the pound during that time was a bit of a case of something similar to the ERM where it was like economic warfare. |

The so called Windsor Framework effectively handed a part of the UK to the EU, and on his watch immigration from the EU both legal and illegal has never been higher, and I'm sure the EU are thrilled. |

Having the ability to do something is not the same as those in power exercising that control effectively. It was always known/on the cards that success of Brexit depended very much on the government of the day. We can only assume that the immigration figures we currently have are what is intended as all the opportunities to seize the day have gone begging. So I agree the politicians are well aware of what they are doing or are totally incapable of implementing effective polices for reasons unclear. What is obvious that if we continue then there will be the recreation of a social underclass living in poverty and slum conditions that are as we speak being developed in our cities and towns. |

Indeed, we may become like India or Brazil where ridiculous wealth and abject poverty live next door to one another. Personally, I think serious mass civil unrest is our future. And todays politicians are responsible. |
