Immigrants are not contributing to the housing shortage =96 there hasn't been a council home built in Birmingham for 12 years
As local councillors, we now deal with the social fallout from a waiting list that runs to 35,000 people. Even in my own ward it is not uncommon to hear people from Pakistani families echo the myths that recently arrived Somalis are "taking all the homes".

Indeed. Please don't feed the trolls. They are best ignored.
Its not called 'council' these days, its 'housing association'
Don't confuse him with difficult concepts.
England 2007: 1.89m housing association homes; 1.99m local authority homes.

Irrelevent. I suggest you look back through the thread if you can't see why.
Whooosshhhh
