Re: Council Tax on 2nd Homes Wales

The locals seem to forget that the homes were sold by locals in the first place, or were new builds paid for by the "incomers".

Lies and rhetoric from Plaid Cymru and Welsh Labour paint a picture of locals being "priced out of the housing market" and "the Welsh language being diluted by incomers" have been shown to be false again and again. Locals are in the buy-to-let game, and locals are moving away to find work away from the deserts of employment. Whilst relying on tourism for income, the same locals are moaning about tourists being there in the first place.

A huge growth industry in the same areas is chicken farms. The owners take advantage of unemployment rates to take on workers at Minimum Wage levels. But locals aren't interested, so "incomers" take the jobs. So the locals have something else to moan about, and the politicians are there to whip up the flames to gain support.
