SIR – “Now they want to build even more homes” (July 30), Mike Foster is spouting codswallop when he says: “We have to build more houses”. Labour has allowed up to a million people a year into our country, and destroyed our freedom of speech and freedom of association to do so.
That is the cause of our housing crisis.
Housing development will increase pollution by a quarter and climate change, melting the polar ice, will accelerate. Our politicians say sea level rise will be limited to a metre by 2,100. How can they be so sure? Research tells us that our climate doesn’t change slowly.
It suddenly flips. Some scientists suspect that such a climate flip will become inevitable in about a decade.
How many million more new homes will be needed to house the 30 million more immigrants our politicians need to increase our national population to 80 million by in 2,050? How will 80 million people cope if our coasts and river valleys are permanently flooded?
N TAYLOR,
Worcester.
