#8  sinse, look up the Domesday book. Joe Average may be too busy trying to survive to count his neighbors, but the king would like to know who he can tax.

#5  Chairman Sir Andrew Green said immigration levels “are 25 times higher than at any time in nearly a thousand years of our history”.

Would that be the Normans? Vikings? Saxons? Do tell, why is it the highest point in 1000 years?

#4  Better yet...let the developers go ply their trade in Pakistan or Mexico or wherever. Anywhere but here.

#3  Sounds like San Diego where the so-called "economic benefits" go to the developers who get to do the building. The rest of us get to deal with the strains on the infrastructure and deteriorating quality of life.

We don't "have to" build the homes. That is a big, fat lie. Let them live somewhere else...like Crawford, Texas.
