Forget building all those houses

Just mustard gas the population until there's a surplus of housing.
Accommodation problem solved, cost - feck all, oh, and I've also just eliminated the dole queue, saved the NHS billions and eradicated traffic congestion.
You're welcome :)

If the social engineering going on round W.10/W.11 is anything to go by it'll be the other way around. Ie .. social housing being sold to private developers while working class, 2nd / 3rd generation immigrants, and other undesirables are pushed out to the margins (Stonebridge Park, Leytonstone! and beyond). Give it a few decades and London will be more in the Parisien mode. The moneyed in the centre, the blacks and the paupers in the outskirts. London then becomes a middle-class monocultural gated community. Bad. All bad I tell ya.
Actually I'm quite partial to Leytonstone

Leytonstone's just been twinned with..

..Kidney Stones as they're slightly less irritating than the hoardes of South African "Doodes dat live dere mayte".
Actually I wonder what effect their mass alcoholic impotency has had on birth rates in the area. Reckon we could skip the hovels there and get away with another pub, maybe call it The Sperm Bank (sounds like The Springbok but the alliterative aspect'll be lost on 'em).

council homes need to be built each year in order to cope with rising demand.
I hope they build them in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool and dedicate the green belt land for private housing only.
