I should love to know where all the migrants are living. I am thinking particularly of Poles, for now
At first groups of young Poles were very noticeable - in the coffee shop, using the library computers, on the buses
Now they are not, or not nearly so much
Which argues that they have bought cars & laptops, & have found homes to meet & entertain in
But where exactly are those homes? We hear so much about the difficulties of getting on to the housing ladder. Are they taking advantage of the glut of Buy To Let? Or bringing new life & vigour to social housing estates?
Or have they got mortgages? Perhaps clubbing together to live in what English people might consider overcrowded circs, more like the flat shares of the 1960s
