Our door needs closing so we can build some homes for the people already here. No point letting more people in when we can't house the ones already here

The government could use some of the £350 million they will be saving a week to build some new affordable housing, and it should only be available to people who have resided here for 15yrs at least. That would stop all this buying from abroad overnight.
I agree with you but one of the Scandinavian countries (not sure which one) has a trade agreement with the EU but the caveat is they must have an open border policy. Even if we leave we will be tied in a similar way when we want to trade with the EU.
I am fed up of listening to it too, I wonder if we'd get our fishing waters back?
