when Farage blames immigrants for the housing crisis, the BBC reports in it but the companies like Blackstone, who buy up vast swaths of Britain’s housing to rent, rarely, if ever, get mentioned.
It’s true that the media are a problem but that’s not to say immigration doesn’t also cause problems with housing. Last year (2023) there was a net 685,000 more people in the UK. That’s a ridiculous amount of people who need housing. I can say from experience that it’s an utter nightmare finding anywhere at all to live, and was so even before those hundreds of thousands of people turned up.
There’s a gay Vulcan character in the New Frontier book series (U.S.S. Excalibur). From what I recall, there were no social issues but the guy’s father disapproved due to “a waste of good genetic material” :-)
