Where do you think the extra 10,000,000 people since 2000 live? As they apparently don't need housing I'm looking forward to your answer.

Quite. Very bad form to get caught old boy

Presumably you think our housing problem has been increasing steadily since at least 1871 (according to this graph).
Was there a time before this when everybody was well housed and comfortable, free of todays problems?

I would put the kettle on it will be a long wait, at least for an actual answer. He will be back soon enough to duck, swerve or answer some other question you didn't actually ask, very like a politician

Is there a graph for properties currently vacant in the UK?
A genuine question.

Brilliant, you’ve just identified why each of these institutions are failing absolutely miserably since being taken over by the left, woke looney mob.

It's not a simple problem and equating it with immigration is naive. And very typical of right wing thought in general - their answer to most problems is to identify someone to blame and leave it at that.What did I tell you

They've been under tory governments for the last 13 years but the rot set in under Thatcher
Well, I challenged you a while back on how you live by your values, and it came back to you didn’t. Your view was that doing anything was pointless! So, has it changed? how many migrants have you housed in your home? From the pictures hive provided of your home it’s clearly capable of housing quite a few. I’m sure you’ve done your left wing bit of mitigating the suffering by taking in how many?

Huff and puff.
That’s what I thought, your just huff and puff, arm chair lefty who doesn’t live by his values. Walk the talk and gain a shred of dignity and credibility.

Too right!
Anyone who wants to have power over what others can and can't do is very likely to be unsuitable for such a position!

Ask google? Plenty of info out there. And solutions.
Homelessness is reckoned at 300,000. Empty homes at 1,000,000 plus
"There are over one million homes without residents in England and there are hundreds of thousands of people in housing need. We must act now and long-term empty homes and unused second homes - which make up over 530,000 of those homes without residents – are a good place to start.
'These are homes you can’t rent and you can’t buy but they could offer vitally needed housing. During a national housing crisis we cannot afford to see half a million homes stand empty because of the lack of a government strategy to support councils to bring them back into use."
https://www.actiononemptyhomes.org/...e are over one million,a good place to start.
@Jacob brilliant idea, I also think that those with spare bedrooms, lounge or dining room should be asked to convert them into bedsits at their own cost and take in anyone who needs housing for free. They should provide them with food and clothing and transport to get them back on their feet. Some may need additional financial support to resolve debts, and almost forgot provide them with the essential to modern day life a phone and computer. We would really start to get to a utopia society. Everyone will see the value of the actions and I’m sure work harder and / or get second or third jobs to support them.

I'm reminded of the spoof fist fight on Harry Enfield, or possibly The Fast Show, when the two guys punch the cr@p out of each other for hours and hours. Quite why anybody thinks one is worse than the other is beyond me, but probably depends on which protagonist's political views align. I mean, I like a good argument once in a while, but this has gone way beyond pointless.
