Housing costs are the biggest single problem facing this country today.

The Government has ruined private pensions, and will not restore the link between old age pensions and earnings until 2012 - pensioners are paying for the Olympics.

What hope have young people got of buying a home? The Government has not forced enough land to be released. Environmentalists seem to take selfish pleasure in blocking new builds. Look how long it has taken for some of the Brighton housing projects to get off the ground, the King Alfred site being a prime example, There ought to be some very serious campaigning about this crisis.
