Farage should never ever be near Downing Street. He is dangerous to the country.

I am one of those EU settled immigrants apparently excluded but I am just as scared. Even if I’m on the bottom of the list, I am on the list. If the policy doesn’t improve the economy, will they conclude that they were wrong or that they didn’t go far enough?

The best part of the Holocaust was probably the Germans getting to loot Jewish assets and properties as they were deported east. Not related to what you’ve just said of course.

I have been short the housing market for the past 2 years because this seemed inevitable to me.

And by short the housing market I mean continuously renting lol

Revoking ILR is not deportation. If people want to stay in Britain they can apply for a visa.

But who would want that uncertainty and cost? If you have children in school why would you risk having to move them on and damage their education. Whilst a 5 year visa would suit some people, for the majority they want stability. I can see this being a huge benefit for other countries. It is, of course, important we attract the those who work in high income roles but we also heavily rely on people who work in low paid roles such as social care, providing home care to elderly and those with disabilities, in hospitals, in hospitality etc.

Do you reckon the visa’s gonna be cheap considering the salary requirements? And given non-UK citizens are to lose access to welfare, will we need to start paying for the NHS as well? Basically just squeezing a section of society for all it’s worth out of spite.

Wow... Did I read correctly that the £50m house only has a Council Tax bill of £4.5k pa... WTF.

I'll get myself mad about the Farage stuff later... such a weird world we live in but surely he is prohibited from even being PM by dint of his German Passport?

Need to check the demographics - most residents are postwar immigrants - most are not economically active - ironic that around our main wealth generating city of London with its separate mayor is a stranglehold of net non contributors lead by a Anti white anti city Muslim leader.

You can’t tease us with this, and then not spill the beans!

> As ever with London, if you work out who owns the property you find an interesting story.

If I wanted to get my news from the SubStandard, I wouldn’t be subscribed to London Centric 😉

That story refers to a different house, in South Ken, though. I guess he was so distraught at losing his £6m house to his kids, he bought a £50m one instead?
