We have to build a new home every 2 minutes because of mass migration

Must read

The Prime Minister has reiterated his determination to build 1.5 million homes over the next 5 years and to do so by whatever means necessary.

If he has to rip up the planning rules, he says that he will. The country desperately needs more houses as there is not only a shortage, but there is also the problem of affordability.

More houses in theory should mean cheaper houses. But how on earth do you get to build them all?

What he did not say (and what so few in our public life dare to mention) is the real reason behind this crisis.

It is, of course, mass immigration — on scale never have seen before in this country.

We are living through a population explosion, which means that we have to build 1 new home every 2 minutes just to keep up. It is a truly frightening statistic.

To achieve these targets we are going to need tens of thousands more construction workers on-site up and down the country.

This is where another problem begins.
 
The big building companies are only too happy to pay for foreign labour from abroad. The reason is very simple indeed. They are just cheaper.

But that means the immigration numbers go up, which means an even higher demand for housing. This takes us straight back to square one!

This madness has got to end.

It is time that our education system stopped pushing so many of our teenagers onto university to study social sciences.

In most cases, these students leave with large debts around their neck and with no advancement in the work marketplace.
 
So I want to encourage young people to become plumbers, carpenters, and bricklayers.

They will earn a far better living with a trade and a skill that’ll be set for their future.

There are also vast numbers of young people now living on disability benefits, in many cases, through conditions such as depression.

To begin, we ought to try and inspire these young people that they can do so much better for themselves and in their lives and truly be much happier and fulfilled.
 
British workers need to fill this new, huge demand placed on our construction industry.

And if that means that the big building companies have to pay higher salaries and therefore make smaller profits, then overall this has to be a good thing, not a bad thing.

Equally, there are those living on disability benefit that are using this support as a lifestyle choice. If necessary, we will have to force these people back to work.

And where better could they be used than on construction sites earning decent money? The population explosion can and must be stopped.

And we have to start saying British jobs for British workers — and actually mean it.
