    Have less people. Most of the population rise is immigration. It's quicker and cheaper, doesn't concrete over the countryside, doesn't cause people to die because the health service can't cope, doesn't mean we need hundred of new roads, means schools can educate people without large class sizes, means prisons aren't overflowing and means public transport isn't rammed.

    But no, let's build a million houses per year and double the UK population instead. Much better lifestyle for everyone here.

    To blame generation y is a load of turd, when the basic maths of average salary v's average houses prices does not work in many parts of the country.
    Build more houses.

    3 and 1/2 technically - I liked the first line and was indifferent to the second, so I had round up half a like to a whole one

    The powers that be are not as powerful as people suppose.
