Housing Crisis: Homeless families deliver eviction notice to Michael Gove 

It was amazing. Thamk you

Why are the not speaking english

@@briankinslow2995 to be fair mate, your english isn't great either! First of all, it was just a courtesy to interview the woman in Spanish so she could express herself easier .. and as she says, you try learning a new language while you're homeless with nowhere to study, looking after kids and elderly relatives, and trying to find somewhere to live at the same time - do you speak other languages yourself? How did you manage to learn and how long did it take you?

There would be plenty of homes for everybody if we didn't have the most extreme free market system in Europe making them completely unaffordable and inaccessible - but will you do anything about the rich making everybody's lives a misery? No, you'll blame the poor, keep us all divided and make it even more difficult to fight back. And by the way, don't see you complaining about the rich being able to go anywhere they like in the world, exploiting everyone and then forcing people into leaving their homelands through causing war, climate change, and carrying out land grabs through exploitation and extraction of resources. And on immgration generally: we need to create something like 3-4 million extra jobs in the UK to bring down carbon emissions to stop runaway climate change, so we actually need a massive increase in immigration to sort everything out. And before you say the UK is "full", in London alone 11,000 acres are used for golf courses which the vast majority of us can't access or afford (even if we were interested in playing golf, which most people aren't) - that's twice the size of Hackney, so that's space for at least half a million people to live for starters. But also, have a look at just how much property is left empty by property owners speculating on land. Face it, the way you're thinking at the moment is guaranteed to keep everyone struggling. It's time to start uniting everyone and changing the root cause of all our problems - a free market system based on extraction and exploitation.

Main point is there's been no council house building schemes in the UK for forty years - so instead of raising defence spending to 2.5% of GNP for example, you could put all that money towards building housing. Or look at the literally billions wasted during the pandemic on failed track and trace systems, money given away to friends of the Tories who had no expertise and then didn't deliver, PPE that had to be thrown away because it was useless, etc. But basically, this is the sixth richest country in the world; the idea that we can't even provide basic housing for people is ridiculous. We have plenty of workers to do it - council housing used to be built by Direct Labour Organisations (DLOs) which directly employed construction workers. There are plenty of unemployed and blacklisted workers, as well as so many who are working on useless luxury flat projects that could easily be abandoned. And councils have plenty of land. So the other part of this equation is to restore the funding to local councils that has been cut for decades so they can expand DLOs and don't have to sell off their land to balance the books. You could also greatly increase apprenticeships so people can learn the skills to build passive houses and reduce climate change and energy bills at the same time - which again would save huge amounts of money and stimulate local economies.
