Investment in homes will be transformational

Its good to hear that demands by Tullet Brebon are being made towards the government for a further cash injection of £4bn into new housing, and about time too.  Its been far too long, successive governments have encouraged immigration with little consideration of where all these people are going to live and be housed.  Real investment in new housing will have a positive impact on society and the economy, particularly during difficult economic conditions. George Osborne hear our cry and invest in more social housing.

It is not the net generation it is the homeless generation

I was horrified like many people to see the riots happen throughout the country, however is was not a surprise.
I wish the English rich would wake up to what is happening in this country.  There is a growing disparity between the rich and poor and the current government does not seem to care or be doing anything of significance to change that path.  A growing poorer generation will have a significant impact on all of us.
Why is it that the current government is doing nothing to deal with the social housing time bomb.  According to the previous government three million homes are needed in the UK by 2020, thats 200,000 homes every year!!  Where are they, I see absolutely no building in my area and I live in the fastest growing city in the UK.  The banks are not lending but are very happy to pay themselves huge bonuses.  This is an absolute disgrace.  Cuts seem to be happening across the board.  The government will not be able to get away with this for too long.  Social media is global, ubiquitous and cheap.
If the government wants to prevent the recent riots happening again then the solution is simple.  Force the banks to start lending again - after all sterling is simply a fiat currency and has no real value.  The value comes from the work good people do.
The right thing to do is to start building more homes for a growing homeless generation and stop being selfish and greedy.
