    Brexit Boom!

    England needs an extra FOUR MILLION homes over the next 20 years to keep up with soaring immigration | Daily Mail Online

    An extra 4million homes will need to be built in England over the next two decades if immigration stays at current levels, a report said yesterday.

    More than 27.6million families will need housing by 2041 if the population continues to increase at present rates. At present there are 23.4million households in England.

    The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, suggest a major acceleration in housebuilding will be needed to cope with future levels of households.
    Is thus due to Brexit or despite Brexit?

    Or is it cos we haven't left yet?

    Also, to what extent can former manufacturing sites be converted to housing, now that they are no longer needed in the post Brexit Minfordian economy?

    These are complex changes, beyond the scope of your limited Britain First cognitive abilities.

      or perhaps because around 15 years ago the government said we need to build 250k houses a year, and not one year since then has that been achieved.
      Simple accumulation.
      See You Next Tuesday

        Can't because of Brexit, because when Brexit happens, immigration will be stopped. And then the non-WASPS will be "sent home".
        Thats what the xenophobes and racists voted for. Don't know about the rest of the Brexit voters, though.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          EU immigration may be limited. But non-EU immigration (which is the majority) will carry on.

          If only immigration rules had been tightened prior to 2016.....

            Farmers hire workers from outside the EU

            Brexit was the wrong answer to the wrong question. If your engine is misfiring, then changing brake pads won't help.

            I'm alright Jack
