You would think most immigrants to the UK were asylum seekers if you listen to the Media, but it is less than 4%.
And the housing shortage?
1945-1979 - 5,000,000 council houses built.
1980-2025 - 250,000 council houses built.
That's why.
My Dad was able to buy a house, have two kids, pay the bills, we were middle class on one salary. We had same day GP, ambulances within mins, dentists, good education, good public transport, clean beaches and rivers. Now even two salaries would struggle. And the UKs gone to SHIT. Yet somehow it’s migrants fault? Like what? Not the developers, buying in bulk and price gouging everyone else out of being able to buy a property. I genuinely struggle to see how people are still falling for this shit. Let’s blame the people with nothing, rather than the people with EVERYTHING.
We should all be concerned about plans to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
Targeting non-violent protesters in this way is a misuse of terrorism-related powers.
It sets a dangerous precedent, which governments in future could further use against their critics.
Dear HMRC
Would it be OK if I made a one off payment of 0.01 % of my annual income instead of my normal tax percentage?
I have a note from Nige.

Bloke kicked in head by horse.
Happy Brexit referendum anniversary day. It weakened the economy. Reduced investment. Tanked the pound. Damaged the City. Increased red tape. Increased immigration. Decreased the rights of the young. Staffed billions wasted. But hey - Johnson has PM on his CV and his partner in crime Farage has replaced him as the darling of the right wing rags. So all worth it for the tiny minority who gained out of an act of national self harm
Nigel Farage has announced a Robin Hood Tax in which billionaires could pay a one off fee of £250,000 and then never pay tax again on their £800,000,000 a year average income.
The Robbing You Tax would cost you £37bn a year.
Genuinely starting to get worrying that our media refuse to give anything positive the government does any oxygen.
We've had so much good in the last 10 months, more than the last 10 years and no one knows about it.
Young person working all hours God sends just to cover the rent, while paying record levels of tax? Want to ever have a hope of buying a house? Work harder.
Over-65 enjoying the benefits of your private pension/dividends/property rent on your latest Mediterranean cruise? Great, here's another £200 a year from the taxpayer.
Sadly the BBC and billionaire controlled UK media promote Farage daily, and treat him like the saviour of Britain.
Turns out you can fool most of the people most of the time.
If you are looking at the scenes in the US with horror, think carefully before you vote for Nigel Farage.
If Nigel Farage gains power, this country will never be the same again; just like America.
If Nigel Farage is your answer, you haven’t been paying attention.
Wake-up!
Dual income pensioners bringing in sub £70k will receive a winter fuel stipend.
Bizarre when you consider graduates/millennials/young families will earn far less (thank you stagnating wages) and receive no help.
Is this policy designed to help people, or to appease the press?
Jobs in media are so few and far between. The BBC should have a commitment to advancing careers of homegrown talent. And made gains off their own backs...
Sick of saying it. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number. Asylum seekers can’t work. You need an NI number. They get £49.18p week to live on. Could you live on that? NO. So stop pretending these people come here to be lazy or take your jobs. It can’t be both.
