Housing/migrant crises - Tom Harwood

"France, with the same population as the UK, builds twice as many homes each year.

"Twice as many. If London had the same density as Paris, it could more than double its population." Tom Harwood

We don't want more homes built, we want fewer people. Britain is overcrowded. It is being concreted over. Wildlife and natural habitat destroyed. Farmland and food growing areas destroyed. Water courses/flood plains built on. We now know 20m immigrants have arrived in 2 decades

France has more net migration too countless previous governments have not done enough to build infrastructure, houses etc. We need the migration as there are 1m jobs currently unfilled. Govs have been too concerned giving cash to mates than spending in right places

Yes. But most French people rent homes. Tenancies can be inherited. Home ownership in the centre of big cities like Paris and Marseilles etc is unusual. But there are legal controls on rent and landlords. Plus France is four times bigger than the U.K.

Between 2010 and 2017, 370,000 homes were built in France on average every year. The UK has not built more the 200,000 homes a year since 1986, thanks to right to buy decimating the ability of Local Authorities to build houses. End right to buy or this problem will not go away

​Switzerland's values v UK/France/US values

Corbyn is NOT a warrior, NOT a warmonger.  He does NOT believe in upping the violence to turn friends into enemies and, then, with more retaliation from our side, making even more ferocious enemies.  Make the UK like Switzerland - famous for non aggression, for being revenge free and, with a first class rail network.  What a fine example for us to follow, James, my friend!  (James Morris, my MP)

Switzerland never attacked Egypt in what the UK, France and Israel called the 'Suez Crisis'.

Switzerland never ousted democratic Prime Minister Mosadeq in Iran.

Switzerland never ousted democratic Allende in Chile on another 9/11.  This time, 1973.

Switzerland never ousted Saddam from Iraq in 2003 or the Taliban in 2001, only to find that the Taliban popped up again, al Qaeda was reinvigorated and Islamic State also rose like a phoenix out of the ashes of our own making in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

Switzerland did not remove Gaddafi from Libya to make things worse for the people there.

Switzerland is not part of the crusader ("if you are not for us you are against us" GW Bush) coalition of the willing to oust Bashar al Assad from Syria.

Non-aligned Switzerland does not get attacked, bombed and hated for killing our fellow humans 3,000 miles away.
Switzerland is morally strong on the world stage.
UK/France/US is militarily strong on the world stage.
