Immigration is indeed a whole separate discussion as is efficient use of limited resources. But the trope is disingenuous. In reality we don’t support ex-servicemen and women because of the things people drew up a list of that we’d be willing to increase taxes by fractions of pennies for - or let’s face borrow more for as nobody is paying for anything as we hit £2.5 trillion of debt - and they didn’t make the cut.

Nor does anyone sincerely want to resolve the housing crisis due to the asset values (and borrowing) secured against them.
