    Watching the 6pm BBC tv news last night – third item in was reportage of the highest influx of immigrants (for the year) since records began (see the following link for figures).

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38167225 (the gross immigration figure for the year is c. 650,000 - yes really!!)

    Then three items in the schedule later – reportage of the increasing crisis apropos the shortage of housing in the UK.

    Um, anyone see a connection? [​IMG]

    So much for my assertion that in Theresa May 'We have a good prime minister at last.'!! :roll: [​IMG]

    And we're stupid enough to be upgrading Trident at £gazillions knowing it will never be used in anger, when that same amount would end this so-called 'austerity', and make our roads usable again. 'Those whom the gods wish to destroy . . . . '
