'The left can no longer afford to bury the migration debate'

[tbaldwin]

Overwhelmingly, I'd say supply not meeting demand and 'buy to let' have had the most significant affect on house prices.

Some economists have suggested the housing market is overvalued by 40 percent. It's a long way down if true?

I also see the liklihood of immigration levelling off in the short-term.

However, the UK used to have 16 workers to every pensioner, now it's approaching two workers to every pensioner. Think we'll need more immigrants Baldwin to pay for the twenty year retirement UK workers expect?

That pension arguement, is the kind of dodgy shit you read in the Observers money pages.....
Bit like their campaign on inheritance tax....Showing their true colours.....

" Asylum Seekers welcome here" eh
Yeah to look after Grandparents and Kids on the cheap....
To do all the low paid jobs and pay for our pensions......

The Internationalism of the Hypocritical Liberal Middle Class....

balders the pension arguement is correct but it is the bosses who sqandered the pension fund cash bit by bit over the years. We are facing a Maxwell even of huge proportions in the next few years. The money that should have kept pensioners comfortable has lined bosses pockets.

what irks me is that over 1 million NEETS(read working class youth) were abandoned by this gov't as they were no longer needed due to a inexhaustible supply of labour and the left was silent, that is something many people won't forget. Further, By ignoring such downsides and accepting a no borders argument/migration isd always good, , they just couldn't provide a response and are now flailing and failing*


of course, now they are needed, partly because of new govt restrictions on low skill migrant labour and that N/L have been exposed as calllous in this policy.

btw, 'the left' i mean all wings, far left, red pepperites, compass, lrc, left blogosphere, etc
