why wouldn’t you tackle the problem at the source? build more houses and put a temporary hold on immigration?

This was OPs point. You had to ram a load of boring leftist wank about billionaires without answering his fucking point

You are the one deflecting.

Fewer people, more houses. It's not that deep

We'll get there. But, to get to the op we have to go through my reply, and to get to my reply we have to go through your reply.

The reply that was pure cherry picking. So I'll ask again, why did you cherry pick the article?

You see, what you did was cherry pick a very small, and incidental part, of a much bigger argument... Which I called out as a Reverse Gish Gallop. Until you see that we're not going to have a particularly productive conversation, are we?

It is going to be like when you couldn't answer whether an abandoned house was unoccupied. How dull, I really hoped you wanted to jog on.

More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
