@stephendavis5530 The discussion is about immigration not the small subset of illegal immigration.

@moon_knight8578 Yet is was during Blair's time as PM that we saw the real surge in buy-to-lets, but I take your point and about 50% of MPs have supposedly had rental properties. The real problem though has been the rapidly growing wealth inequality in the UK that has driven up asset prices such as property and shares. This continues, it hasn't been addressed and acts like a drain on the active economy of business, jobs and services as increasing amounts are drawn out. The wealthy are unable to spend anywhere near enough, they always have a surplus and they use that to buy assets which is why we have crazy asset prices. The drain on the active economy then has a detrimental effect on government's ability to fund services such as the NHS, schools etc.
