    Not much work going though.

    I thought refugees couldn't work until their status was approved?

    If we look at the 90% of Somalian refugees who have been unable to find work here, it would seem they are in the same predicament.

    Maybe I'm being too practical. When you see complete streets in Spain with barely an occupant, and then you look at 5 year council house waiting lists here, it's difficult to ignore the fact that Europe is unable to use European resources efficiently.

    I suppose more refugees will end up living in sheds here.
  • The answer is more cheap high rises, the same ground space could house thousands instead of a single family house. Just need to go higher.

    We don't have earthquakes or anything to worry about.

    The council estates of the future in the UK will need to be very tall concrete blocks of flats. Built to last, and house as many poor people as possible.

    Should be fun.

    :cool:

    In other news, Saudi Arabia has offered to build 200 mosques in Germany. Such additions could accompany said 'cheap high rises' and make the people living in them feel at home.
