>crucially the inability to build enough houses for everyone

Sure, but if you have an inability to produce more housing, how is importing more foreigners helping with the situation of the locals who are already struggling with the housing market?

I'm not defending Farage or his voters, but don't people have a right to be pissed about this situation?

But people aren't actually pissed at the cause of the problem. They will go out and march against a new housing development in their local area before turning around and sending a letter to the paper complaining about a lack of housing. They'll moan about a lack of staff in their local hospital but then support the immigration rules which prevent people from working for the NHS. They'll complain about low wages in the public sector but then fight against the growth in the economy which would allow those wages to increase. They'll complain about millionaires and then whine that it's unfair millionaires are taxed "so much".
