More people but finite resources

DEAR Editor, While the tragic London fire was still burning, Jeremy Corbyn sought political gain from it.

He could not help but hint that budget cuts to local authorities were to blame.

No Government likes austerity, it is not a vote winner but if the money is not there then it is not there.

Corbyn might also consider that it was his party’s previous policy of open immigration plus European Union free movement that has contributed to rapid spikes in population growth in over a decade.

More people equals more demand on services and, as I keep saying, small country, finite resources. Bill Platt, Selly Oak, Birmingham
