They think we allow too many immigrants into the UK and give them amazing benefits, housing etc. If you take the average Brexit voter's views on immigration this will be reflected within a majority of the population overall. I wish it was different, but this is how I think things are.
Not really Bruce , different than up in London, in the North you can get houses relatively cheap, well you could a few years back .
If these old people had bought a while back they might have paid literally a pittance by todays standards, so would be classed by any means as being fairly poor, certainly working class.
How much is a house up north?
You mean own a home outright? Worked with quite a lot of people trying to keep a mortgage going but didn’t have a pot to piss in.
I was going by this from the ONS, which seems to suggest that even among pensioners with low income, the vast majority still own a property outright.
Almost 90% of lowest earning pensioners own property - ONS
Almost 90 per cent of UK pensioners with the lowest income levels own their own homes, according to new government statistics

The issue is that it'll generally disproportionately impact people who live outside the South East. That's fine if they hadn't run an election campaign on 'levelling up' and the 'northern powerhouse'.
The north/south divide will only increase.
Depends on what you want, in what area, you could get a decent 3 bedroom in Kirkdale for about £100.000.
A flat or two bedroom, a lot less, and they have only started going up the last few years.
Where I live its gone up about £30.000 last two years, but it's nice, canal nearby countryside a stone's throw away. Bars and shops all around and the seafront about ten minutes away by bike, train station about the same lots of safe cycle stuff for you mate
. Three bedroom, about £170.000 for one in good condition.Few years a go you could have got a terrace around the ground area for about 60 to seventy thousand, I lived around there when I got divorced about 20 years a go you could buy one for less than 20 thousand.
Since i have bought houses the first one was £16.500 in the eighties for a near new 3 bed semi, bought my mums' ex corpy house with the land next to it for £10.500, and the current one was £117 thousand 15 years ago but needed doing up.
Must seem mad to you compared to London prices. You could get the home of your dreams up here for what a flat would cost you up there.
Like I said if you bought a few years a go you didn't have to be rich to buy a house wasnt much more than buying a new car these days.

Only the switched on parents that can be bothered to train the kids in the first place.

For that price mate, in the north end of the region you would be looking at some house, good area ECT. Pop it into zoopla and have a look. Waterloo, Crosby, Formby ect, city centre you would get a lovely flat for that price
You would end up with a cracker.
Lots of southerners starting to move down here and the Wirral, think a lot of them have been to uni ect and decide to stay.
