If we can have long bridges over other parts of the world why can't we have them connecting us to the french. Can you not propose this at the next PMQ's? And maybe to the next French President? Regards, Alexander An excellent idea – although it’s been suggested many times over the years – I’m just annoyed the French & the Brits have done nothing about this.

Can you not propose this at the next PMQ’s?
And maybe to the next French President?

The only way to reduce house prices, other than creating an over-supply situation, would be direct action by those affected. If everyone who was 'priced out' stopped spending on non-essentials and started living in tents and caravans it would all come crashing back down very quickly. Other than this we just have to hope interest rates keep on rising. We could all become Gypsies now that councils are going to be forced to provide sites. That'd annoy them! < ‘Boris here’s another idea for reducing house prices’ (Marcin Tustin)<

Think of all the time we could save checking underneath lorries if we just built a motorway so they could hitchhike here. Young English commuters, irrate at the selfish planning policies of middle-aged Britain, could probably cover their petrol costs picking up yet another illegal every morning and letting them out of the boot somewhere in Hampshire.

Kieth's French squeeze objects strongly to british immigrants pouring into her country, followed by the Asian population spoiling the land of sensational food, sunshine and clean hospitals. Is this the same country that built a massive holding centre on the English Channel so all the undesirables from everywhere in the world could sneak into our country, aided and abetted by the FRENCH.

I mean, yes, Boris Johnson is a one man diplomatic incident but do you really think he's serious? Boris for PM! The funniest thing about this is where people take it seriously.

Instead of creating a situation where people already in Britain are forced to become either expats or repatriates (is that the right word) should we not be looking at slowing the immigration of those not yet in the country. It does seem rather silly to welcome hundreds of thousands of people into Britain only to then say "oh, by the way we are too small to actually cope with this number of people so we are all buggering off the France, ta-tah". It's a bit like holding a huge everyone-invited party in a tiny house and then taking yourself off to a small private party in a mansion, once it gets rowdy and leaving everyone else to sort the problem out.
