It's easy to say that woman are the problem and not big corporations paying people a wage that's been out of whack with inflation since the '80s.

If it's not women's it's immigrants' fault

Idk about the inflation issue, but the cost of housing is the main issue in the UK screwing people up.

In real terms the cost of a family home is almost 8 times the yearly wage, back in the sixties it was less than three.

Personally I blame selling off the council housing and buy to let mortgages for this.

I'm not overly socialist, but I really support dirt cheap state housing. Keeps house prices and rents low. Even raging capitalists should support this, it means you can pay lower wages.

Private rentals have thier place, I used to move around a lot in my youth, students need housing, those big ass old houses are too big for family homes etc. But the current system is screwing everyone up except landlords.
