  • premise: any inflow of money from abroad to buy up property is purely speculative: to extract rent, which is of no use to people actually living in this country

    In that case, your whole premise is wrong.

    I brought money into this country and bought the property I currently live in, paying various taxes as well as the wages of IFAs, solicitors, house inspectors, electricians and others along the way.

    It's not all Lambo-driving Arabs, buying £million mansions you know.
