@daniellismore Both mass immigration over the last couple of decades are issues affecting the homelessness rate. If there were less people to house there would be less homeless, if there were more homes available to live in there would also be less homeless. This isn't difficult to understand

They keep saying migrants are the reason you cannot get a home. Sit with the numbers for a second. There are 242,000 people in England facing the worst forms of homelessness. Around 32,000 asylum seekers are in hotels. That is the figure they want you to picture. That is the image they repeat. Now look at what they leave out. There are 998,000 empty homes in England. Over 265,000 have been sitting empty long term. Entire streets. Entire blocks. Locked up while people are told there is no space. Then there is land. Not green fields. Not the last bits of nature left around towns. Brownfield land. Former industrial sites. Places already built on and abandoned. Reports show almost 1.5 million homes could be built there. So the truth is uncomfortable for them. This is not a shortage created by migrants. It is a system that leaves homes empty while people sleep in temporary accommodation. It is a choice to ignore brownfield land while threatening green space. It is a failure of policy not an invasion of people. The numbers do not support the story they are selling. Every person in temporary housing and every asylum seeker in a hotel could be housed without touching a single piece of greenbelt. The capacity already exists. The land already exists. The homes already exist. Blaming migrants is easier. It is louder. It gets headlines. Fixing the system would require actually doing the work.

@sweetbud538015 @JDDecoded @Potstirrer111 They can't, it would destroy the narrative they have made in their heads. It's not that they can't understand or don't want to care, it's because if they do either of those things they have to rethink a lot of the lectures they've been giving over the years and their own life.

I also notice that when I speaking with anyone over 70 about the state of Australia, I'm told, if its not happening to me then it's not my problem. That's when I feel that they have an attitude. It would be nice if sometimes they could agree and recognise there are a lot of problems in the Country that was generous to them.

He’s not wrong

@chris_rank32456 @guin261 @Potstirrer111 I'm sorry you and your family have been forced into making a choice between the two.

@guin261 @Potstirrer111 I’m in the same boat, the only way I can buy a house is if I put my babies in daycare and send my wife to work full time. I make over 150k py.

@guin261 @Potstirrer111 You mean 2015? He would have been 19 in 2005.

@Potstirrer111 He's 40? No reason he couldn't have bought a place after 5 years experience in whatever he educated himself with. So around 2005 - wonder what he did with all his earnings. But yeh, he's screwed now, but the post tells you nothing at all about how he messed up so bad.

@SeddSezz A lot of countries have had non discriminatory conscription for decades,it seems to be a more US thing to have Males only.

🚨UK army could use 'emergency powers' to enforce conscription. The army is certainly too small to train the number of recruits required, thanks to underfunding from successive governments. Also, ECHR rules do not discriminate between male and female. Wouldn't that mean conscription would be forced upon both women and men? Our Armed Forces needs a radical revamp and extra funding, not conscripts!

@KTrib89 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger How is a young person today supposed to save a deposit while paying record high rents in a cost of living crisis while on wages that aren't predicted to catch up with recent inflation until 2030?

@roaringwolf88 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger Im 36 now. Put myself thru uni and a double post grad during while working full time. Amassed 5 properties of which 2 are sold now. No help from Mum and Dad. The key, delaying instant gratification.

#BREAKING If you and your family have worked hard you’re entire lives in order to get ahead and look after your family. Jim Chalmers is coming for you. The money sitting in your bank account that has already been taxed, will be taxed again when you pass it on to your kids in the event of your death. This is what communism looks like.

@KTrib89 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger So 15 years ago, you understand that you can't compare that to today, right? Perth properties have pretty much doubled in price over the last 5 years alone, yet I am pretty sure Gen Z's incomes have not, on top of that interest rates have risen.

@PaulAdams72 @Ethnonat54ff9 @SangitaMyska Do better, trying to use a heavily criticised and outdated report isn't helping your cause. It just makes you seem desperate to cling on to a narrative because you refuse to process reality.

@Ethnonat54ff9 @SangitaMyska I believe all pedophiles should be locked up permanently

This is John Ashby, the racist monster who raped a Sikh woman because he believed her to be Muslim. This image should be on the front page of every newspaper and online platform. His actions will have been fuelled by the hateful rhetoric pumped out online and normalised by hard right politicians. Damn you and your sick views. My heart is broken for the survivor of this attack. She will suffer the psychological scars of this misogynistic violence for the rest of her life. I hope he is imprisoned for the rest of his days.

@PaulAdams72 @Ethnonat54ff9 @SangitaMyska You know that 2020 has been heavily criticised in the report released last year. The data they used only had ethnicity recorded 30% of the time and only provided a board national average rather than what was happening per capita in Grooming Gang areas. gov.uk/government/pub…

@xyzkid_ @Ethnonat54ff9 @SangitaMyska She never said rape never happened before, stop deflecting.

@Ethnonat54ff9 @SangitaMyska rape has existed long before immigration. i don’t know if you’re pretending it never happened or if you genuinely hold the belief that rape only became an issue when people moved to other countries

@SangitaMyska @Judith54Nunn And just like all the others committing this crime I am sure most people feel like capital punishment should return. At least he wasn't just charged with a "conspiracy" charge.

@Chris27025072 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger You seem to have a higher paying job, the whole population can't have high paying jobs. If your average citizen (not just highly paid ones) can't afford to buy a home, then the country is in trouble and the system is broken.

@Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger Bullishit mate. I've put in over $200k deposit down on two houses now that I saved up. Passed the same work ethic onto my kids and I've got no doubt they will achieve the same.

@DrDunnyKruger @KTrib89 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 You are missing the most recent data & household income is not the same as the average income. The risk to the bank of giving a loan that absolutely requires both people to always be employed is far higher. Compare house price vs average income of a single person-different story.

@KTrib89 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 Wrong

@KTrib89 @Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger How long ago were you 21?

@Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger Yep complete and utter bullshit. I bought my first house at 21, the mrs and I earning a combined income of 75k pa. If you genuinely want to get into the property market you’ll sacrifice to do it and it’s achievable. Gen Z are just a bunch of instant gratification cry babies.

@Cryptomattster @Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger The Government will never let house prices go down, it will cause a recession because of the amount of wealth tied up in property. The best they can do is stabilise house prices and encourage wages to catch up.

@Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger Sorry bro. That’s no longer possible You obviously bought a long time ago. Average house now 800-900 OUT of city .. 20% deposit 160k?? By the time young crew can save that houses would have doubled again Bring on the crash and clear out the ver leveraged greedy

@Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger Even with some help to get over the deposit hurdle, the price of housing has gotten so high that an average earning household cannot service the mortgage. Trying to reduce the payments by having more deposit is pointless because of the rate that house prices are increasing.

@Ryandally08 @DrDunnyKruger That is not reality anymore. This was done on purpose, high numbers of migrants were let in 23/24 to a avoid a recession and keep GDP positive. So much wealth is tied up in property that prices can't fall without causing a recession, so I wouldn't stress.

@clairebubblepop @KetamineMr Rich people hoarding wealth and British taxpayers being expected to feed, clothe, shelter, and give medical/dental to the entire world are both significant problems. They can exist at the same time.

@KetamineMr Are you dumb? Tell me how migrants make us poorer when they hoard no wealth. All the wealth has been concentrated with the richest people in the world. Billionaires have tripled their wealth in only the last few years. So yeah have a fucking think… omg!

Oh yeah quick reminder… asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number for that. They live on £49.18 a week. Would love to see any of you live on that. So yeah they ain’t living it large you absolute melts.

@taipan168 @k0ogs @APSports83 They are still taking up a rental before they buy, pressure on the market.

@k0ogs @APSports83 Well, they usually don’t live with mum and dad if they’re hoping to start a family, no?

I’ve been saying this all along. Population growth in Australia isn’t above historical levels. But of course the innumerate morons who support One Nation don’t care about the actual data. afr.com/policy/economy…

@taipan168 @DarrenAdams1967 @JaneCaro If you can't figure that out then you've got no hope. A child born usually doesn't take up a house as its parents are already in one, it doesn't immediately add numbers to the workforce and suppress wages. There are many resources available to try and understand issues better.

@DarrenAdams1967 @JaneCaro Immigration is not destructive. Who cares if population growth comes via natural increase or immigration?
