GrannyMac, so how temporary will it be, given the piddling number being deported, even today, a mere 18 were due to leave but our money grabbing slimy lawyers manged to block it at the last moment, and with the time it takes to process each one who knows how long will we have to house and feed these parasites.
As for the term housing shortage, No, just too many people for our small island, this is seen in road congestion, lack of school places, hospitals and so many other public services, and when you hear people say we must build more houses, schools, hospitals, roads, at what point do you say enough is enough, I would say we have past that point already.
