Given you're clearly very obsessed with migration, are you aware there is more net migration from outside the EU than within the EU?
Are you aware that the average house price in the SE is now £335,016 and the average salary £27,017?
In London the average house price is London is £556,350 and the average salary £27,531.
That is why the SE voted OUT. And what the Remainers never dealt with.0 -
I may be mistaken but London voted in.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Are you aware that migration from the EU is only one of many reasons for high house prices?
I know the concept that the UK is mainly responsible for the UK's problems, not the evil EU, is difficult for Brexiteers though...0 -

......worth a few % points of GDP, don't you think?
I am pretty sure the EU has not been around since 1066 so any lack of democracy is not down to that. Of course the House of Lords is a different matter.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

The Normans created the Doomsday book for good reason.

Which law of physics is stopping people in the UK from gluing more bricks together?
Unfortunately brick manufacturing plants aren't available as pop up shops. They just don't turn up when you need one. EU migration was hopelessly miscalculated. Situation will most likely get far worse before better.0 -

Yes, and Brexiters' problems are usually self-inflicted, but it's always nice to be able to blame someone else, particularly if they "aren't from around here".I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

Um, so our problem is a brick shortage?
Even before the chilling impact of Brexit became clear, they seemed to have excess capacity.
"Brick making giant Forterra is planning to mothball two plants in Lancashire."

And since then ...
"Brexit shakes brick makers’ foundations"
