You literally quoted me saying “personally, I would rather” How you read that as me thinking they should only spend money on things I want I have no clue. 'Cause that was what you said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say “I think they should” or “they should” or “why would they focus on trains” Is comprehension not your strong point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) I would say it’s now in reverse and population is decreasing . The 430 ish in 1 1/2 years is not good and clearly Alf’s plans are failing. It’s clear to me there’s a massive fall in Eastern Europeans coming here now from a few years ago and it’s not surprising really. It’s far dearer to live here than most places in the UK so he needs to rethink his plans or there’s going to be even fewer to drain for CS pension deficit. Those reserves are going to be hammered .

Non-Believer Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Lack of career-furtherance opportunities in comparison with the UK cited as a major reason. A difficult one to address, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems just about everyone apart from CaBo knew this. The scary thing is now the figures are out there, how much it's masking underperformance in other areas. Not that they seem to be tracking their KPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A difficult one to address, perhaps. Surely housing market a bigger factor than that? Especially given the 5 year deadline. Most families rent for 1-2 years initially, and then hit the 'brick wall' of the housing market when trying to move into ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
