The UK is already under pressure of not enough houses etc, yet apparently we can find room for 3 Million more persons?

He doesn't want China to have them. I wonder why?

It’s a good thing. It couldn’t happen at a better time. With the enforced but inevitable decimating of our economy there will be a huge gap in our competitive performance in things the rest of the world wants, especially with our new found independence.

Those unfortunate people in the service jobs that lose position will be secondary victims of a plague spread by those responsible for its outbreak and I’ve no doubt alternative employment will be found. Even so, there will be many who no longer want to be in similarly vulnerable positions again.

There will still be employment for the continuance of many of those jobs but, with the reduction of non-returners, pay might eventually rise.

BUT, a new impetus for our, along with the rest of the world, competitive survival will be in high tech industry and other none-service jobs. Who will immediately fill the void? Sounds like a fortuitous strategy to me.

Ever watched those news clips of empty railway platforms? And those long shots of empty carriages on their way to the London stations? How misrepresentative is that? We don’t all work in London, we don’t all work in offices and banks!

Outside the golden circle of the M25 there is a real world of industry and manufacture of goods rather than those empty promises of fool’s gold from the so-called banking industry. Industrious it ain’t.

It might just be that specialist workers from Eastern climes might be saviours of the future. Exceptionally, they will industrious, efficient, and eternally appreciative for their rescue from a totalitarian communist state.

In all likelyhood it will be the Hong Kong banking fraternity coming over here.

Hong Kong have 64 Billionaires and guess who is the richest check this guy out, who owns Henderson Land Development's. Lee Shau-kee.

I wonder if Boris the builder as contact with this person, by the way i agree this thread should be in the social forum


One in 7 people in Hong Kong is a millionaire. Hong Kong had a million millionaires as of last year. The city's population in 2017 was 7.36 million — meaning one in seven Hongkongers is a millionaire.
