Sir, - I see from the media that FAS is to recruit 10,000 people from abroad to come and work here. I trust that it will tell recruits about the high rents that are charged here and the fact that they may never own their own homes.
Already some of those who have returned are on the boat out again because property is cheaper overseas. We really have reached insanity in recruiting these people when over £1 million can be quoted for an ordinary four-bedroomed semi. - Yours, etc.
