 Sounds like a plan then do you get some kind of tax rebate for taking in migrants?...😆...We have 5* hotels full of young men here which we also pay to go home now, because you know that definitely won't incentive more of the to come when they are given a large chunk of money especially relative to their own countries currency....🙃

 It's everywhere now but it's been here for a long time.... So once it slips it's going to get nasty for some people...There hasn't been a decent housing correction since about 1992.  It's beneficial to politicians and other members of the fiat class as you can put more people to a house and drive rents up while the general economy of actually doing things continuously stagnate. It looks good for the GDP figures, people build houses that can only be afforded by people who already own a house. This pushes up the price of land on fringes of development areas especially and the landed class of course benefit from this. So unless you are near the money spigot, own multiple houses or are selling your expensive house to move to cheaper area you don't benefit from any of this.

Once there is a crash the migrants will be gone..some even don't like here already and take the money to go because they don't get why anyone would want to say here... Because most realise it's actually very difficult to afford anything here long term. This whole housing market will crater and Bitcoin will be the only thing left standing because it's not priced in £'s. 

We had more net migration into the country in the last two years than there are people in Birmingham. Which is the UK's second largest city! I am not sure exactly you can put a Birmingham in the country every two years, the whole thing is completely nuts.

 Interesting, sounds like it is everywhere.    What scares me the most is that certainly there are many, many terrorists  and gang members being allowed to enter our borders, with no vetting at all.  We are already hearing of these animals commiting murders and rapes.  But the government doesnt care about that.  I think they are encouraging the chaos.

 Yeah that's everywhere too sadly. The fact that you don't hear about Thai people causing issues and they come here vetted and legally might tell you that could be a major part of the issue 🤷.

There have even been cases where they get caught and are not deported and have been given more lenient setances that would would normal for the crime. 

It really is so ridiculous a criminal mafia would do a better job at law and order at this rate. Just try to live far away from all the craziness and hope it doesn't come your way.
