By this standard aren't they retreating from Earth?


Now do the rest of the world.


What a beautiful paywall. Any link that doesn’t require payment?



Is it enough to improve housing market in London?


Migrants to the UK have stayed the same if not increased. It's a misconception they've fallen after brexit.

India is the biggest source of our migrants, specially in London.

I'm pro-migration and immigration but the picture painted by our Government puts all the blame on immigrants fleeing war-torn countries.

Heck I met someone on the train who'd came in via Heathrow and he said the process of getting his visa in India was easier than its ever been for him.


The removal of about 500 people (not all of whom will leave London) and perhaps their families from a city of population about 9mm? I imagine not.


Not enough, but at least there is a start.


Around 4,000 move to London every week. 500 (not all/any of whom are leaving) is less than 1 days worth
