SUCCESSIVE British Governments have for years lost control of three policy areas vital to the survival of the British people - our constitution, the control of our borders and house prices.
One of the reasons why house prices are not only booming now, but are predicted by the Government to cost ten times average earnings, is based on demand outstripping supply. The largest element in that demand is massive, uncontrolled and illegal immigration.
And yet, there are now many in the Labour Government and the trade unions demanding an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Such a policy would not only condone criminality, but further invite more illegal immigrants to increase the demand for housing and be a burden on our welfare system. It would be a scandal of the first order - but typical of our decadent political classes.
