Re: shame for Ledswinger
The solution to the housing crisis in the "not having enough builders" is quite blatantly to reintroduce prefabs as used to get out of both figurative and literal holes left by the Luftwaffe's extensive house clearance operation in WW2, and import timber frame flat pack houses from the USA which largely use a different skill set to build to traditional bricklayers.
On the housing side, we need to basically terminate planning restrictions preventing houses from being built, and build on the green belt if we are to have enough space to build homes.
Failure to address this problem (and tarring anybody daring to point of the obvious as a thought criminal) has already caused sufficient social unrest enough to take us out of the EU. Continuing to ignore the problem and smearing people raising concerns about the ballooning population size is quite obviously going to lead to severe unrest in the future so housing needs to be addressed.
